Walmart Closes Four Locations in Chicago Due to Incessant Looting and No Police Protection.
"Community Activists" Demand That Walmart Remain Open and Just Let People Steal As They Wish.

They shrieked for years about "food deserts" and pressured companies like Walmart to open up more food stores in the cities.

And then, when the companies accede to their demands, they are the victims of constant, ruinous looting.

And the same community activists just say, "Suck it up, you're rich. Just give away your stock to criminals."

Walmart closed four Chicago locations over the weekend, and now community leaders want to know where people will get food and prescriptions -- and what will happen to the empty buildings.

"This is a place where most people get their fresh fruits and vegetables, considering that a lot of the corner stores that's in our neighborhood currently only provide junk food," said Ilandrea Nichols, Senior Service Coordinator for My Block My Hood My City.

One "activist" tweeted -- though he has since deleted this tweet, it appears -- that Walmart should just be happy that criminals are kind enough to rob them blind.

The comments on here are really telling. The people who own Walmart are some of the richest in the world and they didn’t get there by "working harder". Work with the community instead of complaining about a few stolen TVs.

Why is Walmart closing across Chicago? Why is there a food desert in X neighborhood? Why is Whole Foods closing in SF? Because no store can stay in business if walking in a store & "eating free," & teaching your kids to do the same, is celebrated. #Crime https://twitter.com/ClownWorld_/status

Unfortunately, while these thieves may suffer, a broader population of people in this community will suffer more.

The "broader population in this community" supports this lawlessness, and should suffer the natural consequences of their actions. They may not be stealing themselves, but they're electing people on a "defund the police and empty the prisons" platform. I have no sympathy, and I don't ever want to hear whining about "food deserts" again.

Don't like deserts? Then don't fucking burn down all the trees and fields.

I added this as an update to the last post, but it's directly about the Walmart closing: Chicago's Mayor-Elect defended the looting of Walmart.


Via David Strom, who says "FAFO" -- f*** around and find out.

Meanwhile, in LA, it was a scene out of The Road Warrior.

Did you hear that? About a "street takeover"?

There have been three "street takeovers" in LA in recent day."

A "street takeover" is a euphemism for "rule by criminal mob."

Another way to say that is "criminal insurrection."

Via the LA Times:

An estimated 100 people broke into a Compton gas station after a street takeover early Sunday morning, smashing open a door and grabbing merchandise off the shelves, authorities said.

A mob of people flooded into the Arco gas station about 2:30 a.m. near Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue, according to authorities and videos posted on local TV news stations and social media.

At least three street takeovers occurred overnight in the Compton area, including one at the intersection where the break-in occurred, said Sgt. Clarence Williams of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Video footage shows a man in a black mask and hood using an object to smash through glass and open a door into the station. Then dozens of people -- some wearing masks and others not -- push into the store.

People can be seen grabbing snacks, drinks and other items in a chaotic frenzy. One person caught on video grabs multiple packs of condoms while smiling.

It's nice they notice and crow about Walmarts, but who has noticed as many small businesses have been and continue to be destroyed by this BLM rioting and flash-mob looting?

They want big corporations to essentially donate their supplies, meanwhile any chance at bootstrapping via small business is being killed.

18 Try explaining how crime is out of control to your average over-educated, fuzzy headed liberal women sometime. True Conversation:

“You cannot just lock up all those criminals. We don’t have enough money to lock them up!”
“If you do not lock them up for the crimes they commit today, they will just commit more crimes tomorrow, the next day and the next day.”
Repeat the chorus, “You cannot just lock up all those criminals.”
“If you want to stop crime, you have to put the criminals someplace where they cannot commit more crimes.”
“We can’t just lock up all those criminals. We have the highest incarceration rate in the World.”
“OK, Then make it legal to stop property crimes with deadly force. It will be bloody, but crime will go down when they run out of criminals.”

The sad part is her beautiful half million dollar house just blocks from one (of many) riot scenes of the Martyred Saint George of Fentanyl is no longer worth a half million. She knows this because she wants to GTFO now, because crime is getting bad in her middle class neighborhood.

It seems like every place in America hands out a driver's license to you if you even have a pulse (and I expect any day that Undead-Americans will riot for their right to have a DL).

You could have done something to stop this looting and shoplifting, but did nothing. Instead you deliberately elected people who set the policies resulting in this.

These people in Chicago are victims of systemic something or other. Sure, they've been given handouts their whole life BUT they haven't been given enough. In their minds they deserve to live like royalty without effort... and you need to provide it to them because... well, because.

Accepting spiraling crime does not get you to Communist nirvana contra Cloward Piven. It gets you brutal crackdowns of one sort or another even to the point of genocide. Want to cause a Euro weenie to froth at the mouth, ask them what they think of gypsies.

Walmart is the giant here, and has resilience thanks to their 100's of other stores, but I bet that gas station is owned by an individual/family. How do they recover from being picked clean? Can they afford to maintain insurance, or will this set them on a downward cycle that ends in closing (because I bet they ae hit again by the mob for funsies)?

This idiot mob and their activist enablers are creating more Walmarts because only the Walmarts, Amazons, Targets can sustain the kinds of losses the mob is inflicting.

This means caregivers must agree to use preferred pronouns, take their children to events such as LGBT pride parades, and even take young children to receive hormone shots as part of what the left calls “gender transition.” When Jessica explained that she would love any child, but she just couldn’t do anything that went against her Christian faith, the state turned her away.

You want stores in your area? Act right. Arrest criminals. Don’t make excuses. It is not my responsibility, directly or indirectly, to take care of people who are fully capable of taking care of themselves and choose not to do so. If you don’t want this to happen in your area, rise up and demand those who are tasked with running a civil society actually do it.

====================

I have suddenly seen armed security guards posted in the grocery stores in the Minneapolis suburb of Plymouth MN outside the 494/694 loop. It is a ten-fifteen mile ride straight up Highway 55 from North Minneapolis. One security guard had a handgun, Tazer, and a vest with a dozen pistol magazines.

They are also closing the second/ third entrances earlier and earlier, and also shortening their store hours. That sucks, because I liked shopping later, like 9PM to avoid hearing the crowds and the screaming kids.

People instinctively do not want to be taken advantage of and the tip bullshit for handing me a bottle of overpriced water then did my own check out got immediately old.

244 "It's going to be a hot one, isn't it?" Sticking his head over the top of the hedge. Morris nodded, hoping that if he did not speak Russell would stay where he was. The hope was fruitless. He could hear Russell unlatching the gate, although he purposely did not look.

"Hotter than the hinges of hell," Russell said, sitting down. "Do the gardening early, that's what I told myself, do it early while it's cool, and look at me. I'm sweating already. Did you hear what they did last night? Beat a cop to death with golf clubs and polo mallets out of a store window."

Morris said nothing, looking up at Paul's treehouse. It was on the other side of the yard, but so high up it could be seen above the roofline of the house.

"Beat him to death right out on the street."

246 Mafia would solve problems by leaning on "community leaders" but there's no leadership here. Just... mobs. Lawless people who learned that they can get away with anything and nobody stops them.

These mid-teen mobs almost always start somewhere. The community pool, the roller skating rink, a school sporting event, etc. If a motivated mobster wanted to stop the youts, they would send enforcers to those events, then start cracking heads if the crowd started moving to a protected business.

If the mid-teens got wiser and moved more of their organizing to social media, a motivate mobster could move on to grabbing members of the crowd and encouraging them to reveal the accounts they followed and do a little bit of detective work to find organizers. Groups like this appear unorganized, but I guarantee you can root out some leaders.

Totally Wile E. Coyote hanging in midair after stepping off the cliff time. Companies have been keeping their work from home policies, they don't need nearly as much office space. BIG companies are reducing. Small companies are just not having offices. Building management can't reduce rent because lower rates won't service the debt, so they leave it empty at the higher rates.

"I guess I am," he said. "Like one?"

"Since it's Saturday …"

It was cool in the house, much cooler than the patio, but the air was stale. He splashed the cheaper "guest" whisky into a glass and added a squirt of charged water.

"Is that your boy Paul's?" When he came out again, Russell was staring up at the treehouse just as he himself had been doing a moment before. Morris nodded.

5. Public transport is dangerous, and anything visible carried (such as groceries) likely to be stolen and/or destroyed.

The tree at the other side of the house gave too much shade for roses. There was nothing under it except a little sparse grass and a few stones Paul had dropped.

307 The original Sam Walton (and family) did work hard, but they went from "Made in USA" labels to everything from China. Also the "Go-G0" momentum stocks of the 80's plus easy money set up a trend of "bigger is better".

AND as mutual funds let the middle class into the stock game, much of America sent a big chunk of their paycheck directly into their mutual funds. The Big got Huge ... and those payments kept coming into WallStreet even as we sent manufacturing of everything to China.

So there is some truth to the concept that the mega Rich Ownership class did not always work harder, they bought political clout which allowed outrageous leverage and massive bailouts. (socialization of risk, privatization of profits).

At this point, if stocks crash, the economy crashes, so "Too Big To Fail/Jail" is the norm, even as it kills the middle class (that does work hard to advance).

311 Totally Wile E. Coyote hanging in midair after stepping off the cliff time. Companies have been keeping their work from home policies, they don't need nearly as much office space. BIG companies are reducing. Small companies are just not having offices. Building management can't reduce rent because lower rates won't service the debt, so they leave it empty at the higher rates.

Eventually gravity wins.

Back in March of 2020, I thought that the "stay home" stuff would last until May at the most, precisely because anyone with half a brain could see that it would be devastating to downtown economies. I thought that blue-city governments would scream bloody murder if it was dragged out any longer. How wrong I was.

On the other hand, I'm laughing my ass off now. My gov agency let our section go fully remote. Meanwhile, the mayor of DC keeps pushing for everyone back into the office, but there's no way that's going to happen. The shitstorm from fed workers would be glorious.

I just watched The Terminal List not long ago. Pretty good show, a bit dark for my tastes, but it was entertaining. But its a goofy fantasy. Shows like that portray the crusading journalist who digs up the truth and when its released Everything Changes.

That's not what happens, not any more. How many unbelievably corrupt and criminal things have journalists exposed over the last 10 years and not only is nothing done about them, but the journalists are sometimes jailed. The rest of the media ignores the story or actively attacks and downplays it.

Police USED to be trained to grab the instigators that were hanging back. The loudmouths at the front look like the root cause, but the instigators at the back are worse.

So far as I'm aware, they don't do this anymore. Too many videos of small groups of cops rushing through the crowd to grab someone that doesn't appear to be causing too much harm caused the cops to be squeamish.

Generally speaking hedge fund managers don't view themselves as Bernie Madoff(and most aren't).

People dance around the obvious because to do otherwise, even here, can result in consequences.

But, such mobs of various ethnic compositions have existed in other times and places such as London, Paris, etc. since time immemorial.

Posted by: Red Turban Someguy

You think that hedge fund managers give a shit about their targets of investment plus the larger market implications of second and third order derivatives. They don't. They exist for their clients and to make themselves rich. They are just as likely to have a big celebration over a successful big short driving a company into bankruptcy and other such antisocial actions.

They have different justifications than the Romany do for their actions but the key is that money is the value most held dear in their tribe--not societal wellbeing. A recent fisking of the Chicago's school's misinterpretation of Adam Smith is about on the netz. Basically, you have to read Smith in light of his earlier Theory of Moral Sentiment. He has no illusions about the rich but simply argues that in production, they inadvertently improve the lot of those poorer than themselves.

Wait we get the MW50 tank and a hatch that can be posed open to see it, but no starter crank which is in same area? Also no repeater compass in aft fuselage but get the pilot's oxygen bottles in the tail extension. For shame Zoukei-Mura...

460 I don't think the Russians, Chinese, or any other enemies willing to use nuclear weapons really cares about innocent Americans. This includes the Marxist Americans that claim they will use them against "Fascist" Americans.

Problem is that the response is disproportionate for today's leftists--their havens are the cities--nuking them hardly increases their political position and nuking rural America won't work due to population dispersion and fallout heading toward cities.

For the enemies, it is a matter of do you nuke places that will consume vast amounts of the enemy's resources or do you go after infrastructure. Cities are no longer our manufacturing hubs of yore but more likely the 'creative' classes with the underclass.

Christopher R Taylor-Deshaun may not use mass transit to the burbs in your area but they do here in the Bay Area. Its been a running joke for years that BART is a getaway car for the Richmond/Oakland thieves.

Same reason that affluent commies complained about highways making it easy to drive from the 'hood to their gated communities. Which is ironic, because now Bootyjudge is slagging highways as racist, because they are built in communities of color, at least in part.

462 That is very true and will temper any attempts at totalitarianism. Simply put, when no one believes anything anymore such as patriotism, work ethic, even the latest diversity class etc., the managerial class will find it more and more difficult to actually do anything.

463 The Dem convention in Chicago ought to be lit. Literally. Maybe that is what it takes. Let some higher up people at the convention get robbed, attacked, etc. and then lets hear them try to explain these experiences away. This past week, mobs of teenagers were not cowed by police and did a lot of damage in front of the cops with no fear of consequences even though some arrests were made.

Well, the rest of us allowed a presidential election to be openly stolen AND the people protesting it to be tortured and held without trial...

465 I've been watching the stats in my 98% white 70% R vote Northern California town for years. It's only 8000 population but a few dozen commit almost all the street crime. Almost all born there even HS graduates. So it's not merely a racial thing. Common thread is getting high.

Dope weakened America. Now they're pulling up the floorboards stealing elections.
Posted by: torabora at April 17, 2023 02:46 PM (8tizg)


Dope, or alcohol, or easy sex, tends to attract people with low-IQs and high time-preferences. These are also the people who engage in the kinds of petty crimes which turn towns and cities into shitholes, and then escalate their criminal activities. It's not causal, but correlative.

468 " He has no illusions about the rich but simply argues that in production, they inadvertently improve the lot of those poorer than themselves." Posted by: whig

SOMETIMES they do, but that is much less the case now that the profits are in China, and this "free market" is a one way street. We build their military, they steal our tech, and buy our politicians.

Without including the cost of pollution control here, no constraints there, or no labor laws there, strict hiring/safety codes here ... then we don't really have the Big Picture of an economy (that is intertwined with society).

Military power is also actually a part of the Big Picture, along with DeepState and the criminal cabals to delivers trillions to friends, taxes for the plebes.

469 Did Walmart issue a statement? If they did, did they cite the reasons and more specifically, did they cite the political 'leadership' that excuses thievery and fosters the lack of accountability? Did they name names?

473 A society either has the rule of law, or it doesn't.

When one group or tribe is given different treatment that is nothing more than enabling of lawbreaking, then those who do abide by the law will leave...when they have finally had enough.

When the illegitimate junta pretending to be a valid government finally pushes the normal law abiding people to their breaking point, then rebellion occurs. Any cursory reading of history shows this.

If the moron "activists" in Chicago (and every other leftard/marxist hellhole) had a shred of integrity or honesty they would be shaming their group members over their illegal activity, rather than demanding Walmart et al continue the humiliating act of economic cuckoldry.

Tolerance of evil has NEVER been a virtue. Looters and rioters need to be shot on sight and anyone defending themselves, their families or their property need to be given the same blanket immunity that Pfizer, Moderna and J&J got over their experimental mRNA gene therapy shots mislabeled as 'vaccines'.

475 "I have no particular sympathy for Walmart, about whom I could care less. "

First of all, it's which, not whom.

Second of all, this is exactly the attitude the looters have. More nonsensical logic from another fraud at HotAir.

I care that Walmart stays open in my town and I care when any business is looted and ransacked out of existence.

Nah, they don't get to shirk the responsibility. There's LOTS of these folks who have spent decades voting for the Gimme Man and all this other crap. There's some fraud, but it wouldn't work if there weren't lots of folks already voting that way.

Build a wall around it and let them grown their own food.

479 LA gas station robbery/street takeover:
The cops said they were outnumbered, so the could not stop the rioters.
Zombie Frank Hamer and his Thompson submachine gun with a drum magazine strongly disagree with this statement.

Also, see: "One riot. One ranger."
