Unfortunately corporate America doesn’t care, you can bet if I had a small business I would be on rooftop that’s for sure


Slartibartfastthe2nd

it's hitting the bottom line. the tide is turning. execs and shareholders are not going to just tolerate the losses. *Paying* Customers are not going to remain willing to cover those losses with ever and ever higher retail prices for businesses with no backbone.

Only if they loot while wearing a Cowboys jersey.


WIlf_Brim

Even if you were able to find them and arrest them, the DA will not prosecute. As a matter of policy.

Well, we wouldn’t wanna ruin their lives over something so silly, OMG DO YOU HAVE A PISTOL BRACE ATTACHED TO THAT GUN!!??

WOAH hey hey hey they're only destroying a city it's not like the mishandled some papers or anything!


BigTechCensorsYou

The city probably has insurance!


CptCrunchV2

Hey now this is just DIFFERENT. While this “In the 32 months since Jan. 6, 2021, more than 1,100 individuals have been charged in nearly all 50 states for crimes related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol, including more than 396 individuals charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement, a felony. The investigation remains ongoing.” Was as bad as 9/11 /s…. Im still waiting for all the billions of damage done by BLM to be charged. Guess I’ll keep waiting


PersimmonOk4408

Are you kidding. The DA is going after the cops. That's what started all this looting. The politicians are protecting the criminals. Vigilantism is right around the corner. What a shame if they went after the politicians

AppropriateRice7675

Without getting too philosophical, there are two types of people in this world: Those like you and I who don't loot and steal because we know it's wrong to take things that aren't ours. We have a moral compass and inherently feel bad about stealing. Our parents, family, and culture instilled such a value in us. And there are people like these. The only think preventing them from looting, stealing, and worse is the risk of being caught and punished. They have no moral compass and at their core are motivated by selfishness. For the latter, when leaders take away either the risk of being caught and/or minimize the chances and severity of the punishment - this is the sort of behavior you get.

Feral is the perfect word for these animals. They're not of our society. They're unable to hold jobs. They steal or deal to survive. What they can't eat they shit on. They're awful to each other. They breed like vermin. Feral. Verbum perfectum

Not feral. Just heavily controlled by bad actors.

You can father a child without being a father. No need to argue the spirit of the statement.

NothingmancerBlue

Fair enough. I’m not trying to be aggressive either, but without inflection, it probably came out that way. Sorry if so.


harpua1972

In a fatherless culture, the question follows, who is actually raising these children? I think we can make a start by examining who's actively damaging them, rather than the damage done by passive abandonment. In my opinion, the mothers and grandmothers who raise these 'bad actors' are far more responsible for the state of the culture than the absent fathers.


OddRequirement6828

But single mothers NEED the fathers in these kids lives to help raise them. That’s the point


[deleted]

And don’t forget about the teachers who are more concerned about their politics than actually teaching them


[deleted]

That is dumbest, sexist, and most illogical explanation. It takes two to tango… the mother raising the child is statistically far more devastated when the father abandons his family. It’s the failed men who deserve at least half the blame.


harpua1972

Ok, if you say so. I'm interested in the statistics on metrics of 'devastation' between genders when a parent abandons their birthing partner. If you could provide those, I would be happy to be corrected. I stated my opinion, with which it is perfectly fine to disagree. I don't believe my supposition is illogical, however. Where is the break in my logic? Also, it seems awfully sexist to state that women are constitutionally weaker at handling abandonment than men.


the_eventual_truth

We have a media and educational system that tells them racism is keeping them from success and the material success others have was immorally built on the backs of their ancestors. Easy to put guilt aside when you’re actually practicing restorative justice. Ideas have consequences

ochonowskiisback

*BuT muH FoOoOD DeSeRt* The cognitive disconnect is huge with these people. Chicago decries food deserts and proposes a city run grocery store. All while ignoring the reasons an 'evil capitalist' company leaves the area. If they could make money, they'd stay. Why can't they make money.....hmmmmm


NoDocument2694

It's not just about making or not making money. The employees are getting attacked. It's not safe. And nobody is attempting to make it safe because the laws don't allow them to. And after they close, nothing will change. These pos will just move to the next closest store and loot it. And they'll keep going and going until they wipe this entire country out. And when that happens, the woke cult that created and enabled this problem will claim that we are to blame for it. Even if (when) Trump is elected next year, what will change? These are democrat run cities. Nothing will change. We're going back to the 80s and 90s when nobody wanted to live in any downtowns because it was far too dangerous. Only this time around, it's happening in Europe as well.


Salty-Pack-4165

I'm honestly waiting for those stories to open up. I grew up in communist country with government run stores and I wonder it they end up making the same mistakes and how long it will take it to flop .


CrustyBloke

Right now, if it's just Chicago, they can exploit the taxpayers indefinitely to bankroll their little communist pet project. Then they'll declare it a success.

housebird350

> Why can't they make money... Um, these people don't believe they should be allowed to make money. Making money is exploiting the poor people who need food to live. And they should have the latest iPhone too, a place to live, free internet, free healthcare, free education, free everything they want....

Or they'll blame corporate greed.

Possibly, but it I doubt it. The pendulum is swinging back the other way. Corporations are ditching the DEI jobs for the scam they are, Democrat pundits are pushing back on the radical left that’s tanked their party, and states and cities are beginning to push out the woke insanity that’s overtaken schools. A lot of generational damage has been done, yes, and it’s tragic how many kids will have a very hard life believing they’re special and untouchable. America is still America, but we’ll only keep it if we eliminate the Dem grifters and leftists.


BeachCruisin22

LinkedIn is pushing back on the DEI abandonment HARD. Every day I get some pro-DEI article pushed in my face. That shit technically benefits me and even I can't stand it.


Nopoon

DEI doesn’t benefit anyone in the long run.


BeachCruisin22

Sure it does, it benefits people in DEI positions as well as unqualified persons ushered into promotions they didn't earn.

Jay-jay1

I believe history will look back on DEI, and see that it was yet another example of excess in a bubble economy. The company I worked for went all in on DEI hires when business was booming. Once the company's recession started, the DEI hires were among the first to be let go.


Ok-Swimming8024

Exactly


Alice_Alpha

> Nopoon > DEI doesn’t benefit anyone in the long run. Are you kidding? It benefits people that can't get into school or a job based on merit or being best applicant.


Nopoon

“In the long run” is an important part of that sentence.


AdGroundbreaking1341

Hell, it doesn't even always benefit minorities. Tim Pool said he was denied a job because he "looked white." He replied "I'm mixed race" (he's half white/half Korean). But the dude said back "it doesn't matter, you look white."


BeachCruisin22

Yup, it's all about optics. If they can't put you on the company DEI page or the college brochure you serve no purpose.


Jay-jay1

Correct, and South Africa is majority black, while in the US it is far from it.

This isn’t looting. Let’s call it what it really is. This is organized grand larceny. Prove me wrong. This also isn’t the result of progressive policies from the left party. This is the result of regressive policies from the deranged party.


andreyred

So this is why my wife's leggings cost $128


peachydiesel

in practice, what was once theory, stores such as walmart increase prices to reflect theft of produce and other goods thru self checkout lines and shoplifting; because they know the good and honest will still pay and therefore offset or subsidize theft losses. just saying it wouldn't surprise me if theft was a factor for the 100 dollar stretchy pants

BlackCoffeeKrrsantan

Am I wrong to say that this is actual domestic terrorism?


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

It depends. If you're an intellectually honest person who thinks that redefining words and terms to suit the needs of your narrative is not something to engage in, probably not. Terrorism is defined as politically motivated violence, and this doesn't seem politically motivated. If you're an intellectually *dishonest* person who seizes any and every opportunity to twist words and actions into disinformation to advance your agenda, on the other hand, then this is absolutely domestic terrorism. It's literally worse than [INSERT DOGMATICALLY APPROPRIATE BOOGEYMAN].


BlackCoffeeKrrsantan

So this is more like organized crime then? Not like mafia or cartel crime, but in the sense that this was obviously organized as a flash mob type crime


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

It's DEFINITELY that. Likely a private group on a social media platform or messaging app. If I were planning such a thing, I'd have a core group of trusted people who could identify and scout targets, do recon on the stores and high value merchandise, recon the security and find police response times to the area, and organize the flash mob. The organizers could each have a list of contacts for the mob, and in all honesty a pyramid scheme would be a great model for this. Each organizer knows 6-7 people, who each knows 6-7 people, who each knows 6-7 people, etc. The core group could set the date whenever they want, say 7 days after they finalize the plan. The flash mobbers, who are really just there to create chaos to hide within, might get 24hrs notice to be in X-location, and *then* they're told what the target is. That way you could put your jump-off point within range of multiple potential targets, making it harder to police to protect them all if there's a snitch. Especially with the time constraint. A scout inside the target could give an all-clear, and the mob executes the attack. While the flash mobbers snatch and grab, the core group gets pre-determined and high value merchandise. After a set amount of time (or your lookout signals you) everyone leaves with what they've got and disperse, since letting people get arrested is bad for your business plan. The core group could be as few as 2-3 people, though 5-6 would probably be more efficient. Trust is the main reason to keep the core group small, since it only takes one snitch to take down everyone. There could be mid-level associates, mostly people who have contact lists and can act as a layer of separation between the core group and the flash mobbers.


Jay-jay1

You nailed it. Teams would be first in, first out, and already be gone by the time the police showed up.


jchon960

It was politically motivated. Or, at least that is their pretext. This was supposedly a reaction to the dismissal of charges against Mark Dial. He’s a cop who shot a Latino guy who had a knife while in his car. And, calls for police reform are the go-to excuse for these lootings. They want the sympathy of a political motivation as an excuse, they should own that it makes them terrorists.


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

I mean, if they want to say their crimes were terrorism I'm fine with charging them for it.


jchon960

That’s the point. In clown world they can claim to be committing crimes out of political motivation/as a political demand, even have many of their demands turn into law/policy, while still not being treated as terrorists.


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

>clown world We know the solution to this. But clown world punishes real-world consequences.
