There are reports of attempts to rob Home Depot, but the customers keep stopping them. Lol

Turns out, Tough men as customers makes for the best deterrent.

Hopefully the offenders get cracked in the head with a 2x4.

My brother worked at Home Depot, he said the Polish customer were hilarious. "I buy three, you give me discount, yes yes?" "Ummmmm...... No."

Crime is bad in blue run cities. It isn't a surprise with defunding the police and blue DAs not prosecuting crime.

Mad looting in Philidelphia.. But hey, whoa now! That has nothing to do with the peaceful protests over the not guilty verdict that cop!

On October 21, Target will close:
2 locations in Seattle,
3 stores in the San Francisco-Oakland,
3 stores in Portland and
1 store in Harlem, New York
The news comes just months after Target CEO Brian Cornell said shoplifters in stores was costing the company up to $500 million a year in losses

"The looting began shortly after the conclusion of peaceful protests against a judge’s decision to dismiss all charges against a former Philadelphia police officer, Mark Dial, in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry on August 14, authorities said. The city’s police commissioner said he believes the looters were “opportunists” that were not directly connected to the protests."

Target was one of the very first publicly traded large stores that caved to pressure from President Obama and LGBT groups and instituted a store-wide policy allowing transgender employees and shoppers to use the bathroom that matched their gender identity.

Not related to the violence and crime, but fuk them.

Target said Tuesday that it will close nine stores in major cities across the country, citing violence, theft and organized retail crime.

The company will close one store in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, two locations in Seattle, three stores in the San Francisco-Oakland area and three more in Portland, Oregon.The discounter said it will shutter the stores for good on Oct. 21.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” Target said in a news release.

They use to just write it off as a loss and have taxpayers pick up the tab, they cant do that anymore.

You can no longer claim theft losses on a tax return unless the loss is attributable to a federally declared disaster. This deduction has been suspended until at least 2026 under the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that went into effect under President Trump’s administration on January 1, 2018. This suspension applies to both individuals and businesses.

I guess that's what "mostly peaceful protests" gets you.

They could have just called a riot a riot, but now the very people they were virtue signaling towards are robbing them out of business.

There are so many ignorant voters who will still vote blue and think nothing of it.

I saw some people at a restaurant who were there to attend tonight's debate between DeSantis and Newsom. The interviewer asked an older couple who hey were supporting and they were undecided and the male said that 'the democrats have Newsom and he has some good ideas...'

That floored me since we all know that California has been wrecked because of Newsom and all of California's far left-wing policies. It floored me because this guy was so unaware that he would actually listen to Newsom.

Target gets no sympathy for me. They brought this on themselves. They supported far left ideologies, tried to corrupt their customers and their children, lost billions from the boycott...

We stopped shopping there a couple years ago. I went back a few months ago just to look around and see if they change their behavior. They have, but not in the way you want. Instead of going back to a strictly business model, they just became more subtle. They still advertise for Marxists, obesity, and they still push it onto their employees.

There is a good chance we will never shop at target again. There are too many competitors popping up now to replace these fascist companies.

Am I missing something? The DeSantis Newsome debate is Nov 30.

I think you mean the GOP debate. Are you in Simi Valley?
