Hat tip Starfcker
This is what black liberal academic socialist nutjobs actually believe. This brainless twit doesn’t know what he is talking about. His knowledge of the real world is less than zero. Retailers DO NOT have insurance to cover losses from shoplifting. The losses go directly to the bottom line.
“I just don’t think they should be prosecuting cases for people who steal from Wal-Mart. I don’t think that. I don’t think that Target, and all them other places – the big boxes that have insurance – they should be using the people that steal from there as justification to start engaging in aggressive police behavior.” – Everett Mitchell
It’s pointless. Truly.
This is why we can’t have nice things. The masses are f***ing clueless when it comes to economics – if you asked this clown whether the government has any money of its own, he’d respond “Yes!” and of you asked him if insurance has any costs beyond the premiums, he’d reply “No!,” when in fact in both instances, the real costs are passed on to the public, but ignorant Lumpen like this can’t seem to grasp this fact.
God, it’s depressing.
So a thief, at the very least one at heart, advocates theft.
Nothing surprising here.
But I’m guessing that a close examination of his life and actions would show it being more than just at heart.
I think we have reached the tipping point for human decency, morality, right vs wrong, individual responsibility, greed, etc.
The sheer number of whack jobs and corrupt people have reached a zenith.
Every day we are exposed to the cretins around us.
Shrinkage. That is the euphemism for the disappearance of inventory in the retail trade. After 40 years of creating and running a business I have experienced and heard it all. Trusted employees, rich kids, poor kids, customers and non-customers, delivery people, anyone may be tempted to steal. It is especially hard on small Mom and Pop businesses that are competing with the big box emporiums. They pay top dollar for merchandise, pay better wages and have higher overhead, resulting in thinner profit margins. A local hardware store owner told me that Wallyworld was selling kerosene heaters below his wholesale price. It is hard to compete with that, and when you have idiots who think theft is covered by insurance and somehow justified I have no sympathy. Period.
FWIW,
Bank robbery loss to depositors is covered by insurance (FDIC).
Wonder if he thinks that is OK as well?
Probably, just a different degree of the same thing.
I read my local Sheriff’s office probable cause affidavits all the time and I notice that it is mostly white females doing the classic ‘shoplifting’, i.e. slipping some earrings or make up in their purse and ‘forgetting’ to pay for it at the checkout. The incredible thing is they often have pills in their purse they do not have a Rx for so instead just a misdemeanor petty theft charge they pick up a felony drug charge which causes their bail to jump from $250 or so to $2000! Black females tend to be more determined shoplifters in that they go into the store with the intent to steal and steal a lot, often over the $300 threshold that makes it a grand theft charge. Young black males don’t even try and shoplift. With them it is simply get a cart, load a couple of big screen TVs or other high dollar items and make for an exit before they can be stopped and they have a getaway car waiting outside.
Morally bereft niggah … no surprise there. Maybe Walmart should just post this sign; “Shoplifting allowed!”. (Is that fatfuk landwhale next to him a man or woman?)
What’s more depressing is that no one booed him, or got up and left. On the contrary! The white cocksucker is actually nodding his head up and down! Amerika is fucked because its people are dumbass fuksticks
This porch monkey actually gradumacated from the University of Wisconsin!
Proves my observation that many neegrows have about an 85 IQ. This guy can’t tell right from wrong, and has no understanding of economics. He’s making this shit up as he goes along.
Democratic thinking at its finest. If you have more than they do any action that levels the playing field is justified and warranted.
What’s the issue?
This is just another Left-collectivist referencing another socialism meme.
To this clown, social insurance (the Welfare State) is the same as private insurance. Given Congress’ bailout of Warren Buffet’s General Re (insurance), perhaps he’s right.
The Age of Politics is the Age of Everyone’s a Thief.
Guess what? The next chapter is, “Everyone’s a Cannibal.”
Rule #1 of Cannibaland: “Conserve your ammo: shoot for the head.”
Dutchman,
Had to look that up and it seems there are studies after studies that indicate your observation is correct.
What no one ever considers is that PROPERTY is something people PRODUCE.
This takes time, and time is the ONE element for which everyone has an allotment. There is no obtaining more, so when I trade irreplaceable hours of my life to PRODUCE, anyone who robs me of my property is robbing me of LIFE, in increments.
This is why those who say, “heck, it’s only property” are LIARS.
[Justly acquired] Property is LIFE, and robbing people of life should always be a capital offense. The Middle Class whose members played by the rules and accumulated some property by production and trade (not via gaming the system) are entitled to resist robbery by all means necessary.
This includes tax-robbery to pay for the Gibsmedats Left-collectivists wish to shower on their factions.
It’s fundamental – you’re not entitled to what you haven’t earned. Period.
Of course, the hive mindset of the self-labeled “disenfranchised” is that they’ve been wronged and therefor are “owed” from the get-go. Unfortunately, they also include “respect” in this list.
Sadly, what they seldom learn is that respect is earned. And paradoxically, in order to receive it you must first to obtain it from yourself: You cannot give to others what you do not posses from the outset.
If you convey no self-respect, then from purely survival instinct society will shun you, for the inferred message is that since you have no respect for self in all likelihood have none for others. Not hard to grasp but something that clearly eludes some people. Again, too dense to understand cause & effect.
There was a radio show on not long ago on the subject of food costs in the inner cities. Many callers were complaining of being gouged, that corporate America was “sticking it to them” simply because as “poor” consumers they had no voice. One caller, who owned a chain of mid-sized grocery stores in the inner-city called in and explained it succinctly: Not including his costs for liability insurance to protect against unwarranted (and incessant) false claims of “slip-and-fall” injuries, etc., his “shrinkage” or loss rates were 30-40% higher than comparable stores in the suburbs. If he wanted to remain in business he had absolutely no choice but to charge more for his wares. Amazing how math does that, huh?
The pendulum is reversing.
200 years ago if you were “down on your luck” it was largely believed you deserved it.
Then the Progressives invented the notion of “no fault” social insurance. This was accepted because living standards were rising rapidly, and this was expanded after the fabulous run-up after the end of World War 2.
It persisted through the last 40 years’ debt bubble. Living standards stayed high even though they were being put on the Collective Credit Card.
Now that the bills are coming due, and living standards are headed MUCH lower, tolerance for “No Fault” social insurance (welfare state BS) is going to disappear.
Those who are dependent upon handouts are going to starve.
When you are conned by an elaborate con game, in the end you have no one to blame but yourself.
Walmart just needs to install RFID tags in all their products and place RFID readers at their new Shoplifting Express Lanes, where the EBT system is directly billed for the supplies being provided to Obama’s Free Shit Army – as the shoplifters waddle through.
Walmart can’t afford to alienate the LINK-card holders who assort alongside the shoplifters.
I got an idea, if you get caught stealing, then your EBT card is revoked for life!!!!!!!!! John

Okay, he does say they should be allowed to steal but then use that as a reason for aggressive police behavior. WTF is he really saying? I am missing something here…
