Seems for some it was mostly about destruction and havoc?

Some form of "initiation"?

Here is what has kept me as a law abiding citizen all these years.


Would you really want to risk going to jail, using this example, over the life changing profit gained from looting a Walgreens, split 60 ways?


They netted what, couple of hundred bucks each, maybe, if they went for the expense stuff?

I bet most of them didn’t net even $10 worth of stuff.

This is starting to become a more common thing.

Tear gas canisters dropped from the ceilings or LRAD is probably next.
Or all the stores close and nobody knows why..

Now why did Philadelphia outlaw bullet-proof glass as "racist"?

Mob mentality at it's finest , if I was a regional manager in that district I would stress to corporate to close the store . Transfer the employees if possible and cut your losses . No excuse for that behavior other than you are a drain on society . Everyone wants to be treated equally ........ guess what then act like a law abiding citizen !!!

Being in wal-mart makes me feel dirty, like getting coated in a thin mist of cosmoline packing grease. (and that's on a good day/not a flash mob scenario)

My employer of long ago was a large department store chain. One time we had a group pull a stunt like this in several of our stores where they grabbed leather jackets.

A week later, one of our northern California stores started experiencing huge returns of leather jackets but our system would mail a check if you did not have a receipt. In the end, we never mailed any checks. We did of course incur the inconvenience and the cost of having to ship the merchandise back to the stores.

That's a WalGREENS, not WalMART. Not that it makes a lick of difference.

There is no reason not to expect arrests. There are very good face shots of some of those people.

And it will become even more common as income inequality gets worse. You can't expect people to be content to work 40 hours a week for $600 when the white collars in the company make that in an hour.

This is why exactly why certain parts of large cities are "food deserts".

There was a Walgreens or CVS that was closed because of this sort of BS. And the locals screamed the store was being raciest.

Can't they put a remote lock button on the doors like a bank. Lock them inside and wait for the POO-lice to show up.

Oh please... poor peeps (US) are living like kings compared to the world's poor.

I'll bet every one of those thieves has a cell phone plan with data.

That is, our poor keep on getting richer as the rich get richer. It;s not as if the poor are getting poorer.
