THE LEFT HAS ALLOWED CRIME TO FLOURISH IN CHICAGO—NOW THEY’RE OUTRAGED ABOUT CLOSURE OF WALMART STORES (VIDEO)
 
As recently reported on Def-Con News—click HERE to go to the April 13, 2023, article—Walmart is closing four stores in Chicago.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
 

The leadership at Walmart never came out and said it, but shoplifting and theft are obviously the problems that have led to these stores losing millions and deciding to close.
And now, the [democrats communists/globalists] who run Chicago and have allowed crime to flourish in the city, are outraged at Walmart for pulling out of the community.

Book Club Chicago reported:
South Side Leaders demand meeting with Walmart, threaten boycott as mega-retailer closes four neighborhood stores.

Aziz Rupshi was at the doctor’s office with his mother when he found out Chatham’s Walmart, where he owns and operates a Subway sandwich shop, would soon close.

Rupshi got the word as many others did: local news.

He said:
I’ve run my shop inside the South Side Walmart for years. The grocery store is constantly humming with customers.

He continued:

A little too late when they've already boycotted you.

So let me get this straight: unless Walmart agrees to allow these people to continue to steal from them, the people stealing from them are going to refuse to patronize them?

Well, they didn't say it was a well thought out strategery.

For the left it is!

Not only are there food deserts in certain areas of many cities because of thievery, but now it appears there might not be any businesses period if those areas.
It appears that certain demographics can't seem to connect the dots regarding rampant thievery and stores not wishing to be robbed blind leaving to avoid the thievery.

In my humble opinion, I don't thing the shoplifting (and looting) was the precipitating factor here.  I think it was the assaults on employees that convinced the Walmart execs to pull up stakes.

The libs better temper their outrage.  There is going to be a long siog of dis-investment from urban centers, similar to what occurred after World War II.

Detroit. It has a long, long way back.

Detroit. It has a long, long way back.

My father grew up in Detroit. When I first visited my grandparents who still lived there in 1955, their home was in Detroit. The next time we visited eight years later they were living in the suburbs.
During that latter trip (which included a trip across the Ambassador Bridge to Windsor, Ontario...my first trip to Canada) we visited some of my father's relatives who were still living in an area that was mostly black. I still remember the unpainted and deteriorating houses in the neighborhood where his cousins lived. Also remember crossing The Mackinac Bridge for the first time on the roundabout way back home.
My grandparents are now long dead as are my parents. None of my father's many relatives live near Detroit. I wonder how many other people have a similar story.

No doubt there was a bad side of town... But my memory of Detroit was still in its heyday... I dunno, late 60s, early 70s perhaps, and to my young eyes at the time it was all a-bustle, clean and organized. The places I knew of it are all plowed under now, I think.

The highlight of the '63 trip was to the Detroit Historical Museum on Woodward Avenue which my older brother and I saw as many exhibits as we could in our allotted time. I don't know what the surrounding scene looked like four years later during the riot, but we had a good time four years earlier.
