I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that this “soft on crime” and “it’s not their fault” victim mentality isn’t working… I’ve seen retail workers CRY because people are constantly stealing and berating them if they try and get involved… it’s a very frustrating issue.

Okay, change it how? Give people homes? Give them more money? Better education? Hold their hands and guide them in life? How exactly do you think we should change everything so that it benefits criminals?

What do you suggest the stores do to curb theft? I’m being serious too? Just ignore it?

It’s a catch 22… literally. If they don’t lock it up, half the shit would be gone within days. I’ve seen it. I work part time in merchandising, my CVS and Walgreens stores have people coming in ALL THE TIME, grabbing shit from the shelves and running out. It’s fucking frustrating.

Oh brother…

The thing I like about Lemmy is that they’re not banning you over stupid shit.

Of course he is…
