Supermarkets Are Closing in Chicago Due to Mass Looting, So the Woke Mayor Proposes... the State Opening Its Own Supermarkets So That Thieves Still Have Stores to Loot From

As mentioned yesterday, Target is closing nine stores... in blue cities, in blue states.

The Kobeissi Letter
@KobeissiLetter
BREAKING: Target, $TGT, to close 9 stores in major cities across the US due to "violence and theft."
This includes one of Target's New York City locations and 3 stores in San Francisco.
Target said in a statement that the safety of their team and guests are at risk, forcing closures.
This comes after target said that theft is costing them more than $500 million this year.
Walmart has also been contemplating shutting stores and raising prices due to theft.
As inflation persists, theft is getting worse.

Oakland business owners shut down their stores yesterday and went on strike to protest out of control crime.

There was yet another mass-looting in Philadelphia just because it's Tuesday and you know, there's nothing really on on Tuesday nights.

UPDATE - #Philadelphia Large crowds of juveniles loot multiple stores in Center City, police say

Hot Air, quoting garbage site CNN:

More than a dozen people were arrested after stores were looted when a large crowd gathered in Philadelphia's Center City district Tuesday night, police said.
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. ...
Police started getting calls around 8 p.m. from businesses reporting they were being broken into or getting ransacked, Stanford said.
The protest over the Irizarry case ended around 7:30 p.m., and though the police department had begun moving officers out of the area, enough were around to respond quickly when 911 calls about break-ins began, Stanford said.

Even San Francisco's woke Mayor is tired of homeless tent cities.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed has sensationally blasted homeless activists in the city, complaining they are keeping people on the streets and enabling them.
She claimed advocates get in the way of city workers and discourage those most in need from going into shelters and getting help.
"These activists are the same people who hand out tents to keep people on the street instead of working to bring them indoors, as we are trying to do," Breed wrote on the online platform Medium.
"And they are the same people instructing and encouraging people to refuse shelter -- to remain on the street instead of going indoors. Their agenda is clear."
For the past year, San Francisco has been embroiled in a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit Coalition on Homelessness, which claimed the city violated state and federal laws by clearing encampments and destroying belongings of the homeless without offering shelter.

John Sexton elaborates about that last part: Progressive cities are in federal court asking conservative justices to please allow them to clear homeless tent cities.

Specifically, they want judges to set aside a Ninth Circuit (aka "Ninth Circus" ruling) that you cannot clear homeless from makeshift tent cities unless you can offer each and every one of them alternate housing.

In San Francisco, Mayor London Breed was elected on a platform of cleaning up the streets. She began removing tent camps around the city (which homeless activists all sweeps). The ACLU sued the city and the day before Christmas Eve a judge ruled the city could not do any more sweeps. Mayor Breed was clearly frustrated, saying at the time "Mayors cannot run cities this way."
So the outcome of the Boise decision is that cities on the west coast cannot remove tents from sidewalks unless they have a bed to offer every person being removed. In fact, thanks to the ACLU lawsuit, the status quo now is that San Francisco can't do anything unless it has enough beds for every homeless person in the city. Mayor Breed decided to appeal that case to the 9th Circuit, knowing she would probably lose but then expecting to be able to appeal that loss to the Supreme Court.
And Mayor Breed isn't alone. As the NY Times reports, both progressives and conservatives impacted by the Boise decision are begging the Supreme Court to overturn another ruling out of Grants Pass, Oregon which extended the Boise decision to not just cover criminal cases stemming from homelessness but civil penalties as well.

In a surge of legal briefs this week, frustrated leaders from across the political spectrum, including the liberal governor of California and right-wing state legislators in Arizona, charged that homeless encampments were turning their public spaces into pits of squalor, and asked the Supreme Court to revisit lower court decisions that they say have hobbled their ability to bring these camps under control...
"The friction in many communities affected by homelessness is at a breaking point," the attorneys for Las Vegas, Seattle and more than a dozen other cities, as well as national municipal organizations, wrote in one brief. "Despite massive infusions of public resources, businesses and residents are suffering the increasingly negative effects of long-term urban camping."...
"It's just gone too far," Mr. Newsom said in a Sacramento forum held by Politico this month, in which he vowed to seek clarity from the Supreme Court and recognized that he was asking for help from the same conservative jurists whom he had sharply rebuked for decisions on abortion and gun regulations.
"People's lives are at risk," he said. "It's unacceptable, what's happening on streets and sidewalks."

Chicago's wealthier northern suburbs were just hit by nine armed robberies and home invasions during a single hour of mayhem.

Currently, there have been 14,886 reports of theft in the city, and a further 21,160 cases of vehicle theft this year alone.
The number of motor vehicle thefts is up 86% on last year already, which had 11,403 cases for the year.
Despite the rising crime figures, newly appointed Mayor Brandon Johnson has been proposing mansion taxes on sales of homes more than $1 million.

And now, via Nate the Lawyer (who I think we got to know during the coverage of the Rittenhouse trial), Chicago's woke mayor continues refusing to see the connection between letting criminals free to terrorize the populace and business owners fleeing his city.

He complains of "supermarket deserts" (again), where locals have no stores they can go to to buy food.

He doesn't see any connection between this lack of supermarkets and Chicago's tolerance for/encouragement of mass looting of stores and supermarkets

Don't worry, though: He's got a solution.

He wants the state to open its own supermarkets, with the taxpayers basically payng to keep the shelves stocked with goods for Democrat voters to loot.

I visited SF last year for the first time in decades, and the "cleanup" seemed to consist of dissuading tent cities and garbage lean-tos in favor of an entire stretch of highway between the Golden Gate Bridge and the freeway being lined with outdated campers and tent-trailers on both sides of the street. Absolutely no parking in sight, but a nuts-to-butts accumulation of dilapidated Winnebagos and Coleman trailers in what looked like an apocalyptically hellish KOA campground.

We'll done, mayor.

There you go. The protests are peaceful because they define them to have ended once the rioting and looting starts. So they'll never not be peaceful protests, even if they always conclude in violence and theft. By definition.

76 The Philadelphia looting was live streamed by a woman that goes by the online name Meatball. Indeed, as this describes her looks perfectly. She was dumb enough to post online encouraging her followers to meet in the area (she was there) to start smashing and stealing plus she kept livestreaming. She was shocked when during all of the mayhem police arrested her. She kept telling them that she didn't do anything as they were struggling to haul her rather large ass away. Unfortunately for this dummy, she had unwittingly provided Police with all of the evidence they need by her own livestreaming and written words.

They'll use her video as evidence when thr city gives her $4 million for inconveniencing her.

I wouldn't doubt the only reason the city allowed the cops to stop this, is so they can later give payouts to the looters (and their politically connected grifter lawfirms) No one looter will actually be prosecuted.

I seriously doubt that they are going to make a Soviet Store.

Grocery is a cut-throat business operating on tight margins. If the chains that have survived competition through good times and bad, have tens of thousands of years of aggregated grocery store operations experience are having to close in the urban centers, what makes the city think they can pop open a store and have any level of success - even with substantial tax funded subsidies.

They will AA hire. They have no distribution networks; no contracts and deals with suppliers; no store brands to reduce costs over national brands; no history to base forecasts; no "signature" stocking experience; even if they can poach executives from other chains, the city council will still run the place.

It would be no different than granting the city an unstaffed, unfueled and unarmed aircraft carrier in Lake Michigan and expect them to go against first-line global navy within a couple weeks of acquisition.

From Breaking 911 last night...

"The defense argued that Dial, 27, was seen moving away from the vehicle when he opened fire, believing that the motorist was armed. The footage showed that Irizarry had a knife in his right hand. Prior to Pew’s decision, Dial had faced charges of murder, voluntary manslaughter, official oppression, and four other counts, all of which were dismissed.

Prosecutors will appeal Judge Pew’s ruling and pursue charges against Dial once more."

Sad to say, but if we don't become the Rooftop Koreans, we will be worse than Zimbabwe, worse than the Balkans.

Reason why, is that nearly the entire infrastructure of the FUSA is designed around a cooperative, high-trust society with shared values and a respect for life, private property and liberty.

Those who are quickly out-numbering Heritage Americans have none of these traits. It take very little effort to burn down an entire neighborhood of traditional stick construction homes, no real skills to destroy the power grid and sanitation systems, and as we can see right now, a few hundred people can cause whole communities to collapse their business store fronts.

137 The absolute insanity of allowing retail, of any kind to get looted is staggering. I spent too many years in retail not to have learned this hard truth: Theft is shrinkage,lost, damaged and stolen merchandise. the operating rule at the time, 80's/early 90's, was that for every pair of socks lost to shrinkage, 5-6 units of the same need to be sold to make up the lost costs, shipping and profits on a single unit.
It's economic suicide to allow this to happen, and as goes retail, so goes the neighborhood.

Gavin Newsom lauds disgraced Andrew Cuomo in interview with his brother, Chris Cuomo
tinyurl.com/yc5vcdbt
California Gov. Gavin Newsom went out of his way to praise disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday during an interview with Andrew’s brother, Chris Cuomo, who was himself fired from a high-profile CNN gig after allegedly violating the network’s ethics policy.
On NewsNation, where Chris Cuomo is now an anchor, Newsom lauded the former New York governor’s initial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“By the way, your brother did a magnificent job in the beginning,” Newsom told Chris Cuomo, who was dismissed from CNN in late 2021 over accusations that he tried to help Andrew Cuomo fend off sexual harassment accusations. Later in the interview, while explaining that he wants to be more self-reflective about how he handled the initial COVID-19 outbreak, Newsom said, “I applauded what your brother did early in this pandemic.” He then compared California’s per-capita deaths and other peak-pandemic-era metrics against Florida’s, run by conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis.

California just granted parole to a guy who tried to assassinate a deputy by shooting him in the head and did successfully assassinate the chaplain who was also on the scene . The perp did this when he was 24 years old. He was not supposed to come up for parole until 2034. He was granted parole 11 years early based on the ‘ youthful offender’ statute. CA has raised the definition of youthful offender multiple times until it now includes up to 24 years of age.

In the center was stacked, 3 cans of peaches.
But those were just for show. If you wanted the peaches you had to wait in the queue, when you got the front, by the way, we're out of peaches, here, have some beets.

I agree, these people have chosen their path, let it take them to its logical end. It's Darwinism in practice, it's The Science.

Krasner re-filed charges against the cop today so the looters got their way. He would've done it anyway.

Being Philly adjacent I heard the initial charges and gritted my teeth, knowing they were over the top. Judge threw them out, because maybe he knew the same? Don't know.

Seems maybe the Soros DA's aren't too swift. Or, don't GAF if a city tears itself apart. Part of the plan?

241 some self proclaimed conservative over at the althouse blog said that you can't shoot a looter because even though he is ruining your life, his life is worth more than your business

another conservative who voted for obama and hillary, no doubt

Do these people realise that they have been presented with a Sophie's Choice and they are making it? It's shops today but tomorrow it will be their children. Actually they have already come for their children in the form of trans activism and these people have handed them all of their children.

242 I boosted a candy bar from a market when I was 4, my old man caught me, made me apologize to the owner and spanked the living shit out of me on the sidewalk. I don't remember the incident but spent 20 years being reminded of it.
The lesson?

Hide the candy bar in your underpants, nobody looks there.

243 The old school machine democrat policy was

Looters will be shot. Anyone with a molotov will be killed.

“What if we just shoot ‘em a little” is perfectly reasonable. It’s comin’. Didn’t say I liked it.

What happened to all those spiffy less than lethal “active denial” weapons the government perfected 20 or 30 years ago anyway? Why don’t they deploy those on the mobs? All sorts of spiffy stuff. You will not stay in the AO when they point that shit at you and turn it on.

244 Actually, a government run store for the inner city isn't a bad idea.

If I were the president, I would have federally operated and owned grocery stores and shops in the inner cities. When one is looted or another crime occurs on its property, it becomes a federal offense and my personally appointed US attorney of that district handles the prosecution rather than a Soros elected DA.

245 I'd like to see one of those businesses post a sign:
"Occupied. Any forcible entry will be viewed as an immediate threat of grave bodily harm or death. Any arson against the building will be treated as the same."

And then act on it.
