Target closing 3 Bay Area stores due to retail theft, company announces 

And a 12 Guage

Lowering the prices that even You can't afford

That would make too much sense.

You think these targets really close due to theft ? - DYOR I bet you phone scammed still 🤣

@@WeylandLabsWhat about CVS and Whole Foods? Are they in on the scam too? LOL

Oh no, 3 of the 22 targets in SF/Oakland have been captured by criminals who steal from working people! Oh wait, that's every single Target when it's open, seeing as as they make billions in profit off of a wage-slave labor force.

Exactly.

The vote is all that matters there. As long as the morons vote Biden, They give no fu*ks!

Target invested over $100 million into a Marxist Terrorist Organization that then embezzled and stole millions and now the very people Target was trying to help with their phony virtue signaling are now putting them out of business. How Poetic.

Terrible leaders in CA and even worse voter base....... too bad.

hey fuckface - what planet do you live on where shop lifting isn't a crime?

Not really the law was passed a few years ago... If anything consequences have been rather slow but predictable ... Be interesting to see how the state looks in 10 years tho..

Actually not slow at all, these cities have declined so rapidly in just the last few years, it's hard to believe. I believe that within the next ten years these cities will be forced into bankruptcy. What business in its right mind will move into these cities?. I gave you an up vote because you didn't bite my head off.

Decriminalizing was made to ensure you white folks don't see the inside of a jail cell. Legalized drug possession? Enjoy!!!

CORPORATIONS GET AN INSURANCE BENEFIT IF THEY CLAIM THEY CLOSED DUE TO THEFT. SO IF ONLINE SALES WERE THE PROBLEM THEY WOULDN’T TELL THAT TO THE PRESS. STOP BEING SHEEP

I hate how liberals enable shoplifters to ruin for everyone.

Pretty sure it’s failed policies that more or less incentivized shoplifting. Might be a more sound choice to focus your disappointment on your local and non-local lawmakers.

Me too!

You get what you vote for

The end result for defunding the police.

The police gave up because it's a"catch & release system"...there is no justice to be found in the courts, the D.A. won't prosecute, the laws are lax & won't punish and so there is no justice and a proliferation of crime. Criminality pays in CA and the word is out, businesses are leaving in droves and criminals are operating in droves. Good Luck!

Just look at Banko Brown's situation and you can see why no one wants to do anything. Just chalk up the losses as reparations at this point.

so blame the lenient liberal judges?

@@asiananglerjudges aren’t the ones making laws that allow them to be released. They’re following laws that politicians made and so they have to follow them. So blame the people voted for in office that made these progressive laws that are pro-criminal.

@@janeclayton151Yeah, this just doesn’t make any sense. Businesses will leave if they are losing money and people don’t feel safe shopping there. I don’t blame them at all for leaving!

Nobody wants to be a cop, especially younger people

Oh, we need MORE cops. Like THOUSANDS more. We need enough to cover that 16% of our population that likes to steal, rob, assault, stab, shoot, and run over people with cars.

🤣🤣, you are plainly stupid and ignorant

Agree, With all these bodycam videos of them violating people rights. Being a police officer isn't what is used to be. Now they are all looked at as legal corrupt serial killers, is a disgrace to be a police officer now.

I know they're short a few hundred cops but that's what happens when you're in a city that demonizes them. Who would want to stay in the job?

Thank you for not making this a race thing. Everyone is stealing nowadays. Sometimes it’s food. But m a lot of it make up and hair products.

They couldnt do it without democrat voters.

All these dumb city folks say they don’t like these “big box stores“ well, mission accomplished😂

This is what happens when people like you keep voting them back in.

​@@MA-yl1erand yet Republicans want to put a criminal back into office. Smh.

This is also what happens when a corporation is too pussy to allow their guards to do anything

It's like the worst Law and Order series ever.

No. The cops give them a ticket, for less than a $1000 value.

No, the cops don’t even do anything. Especially in San Francisco.

Big deal !

You guys realize most of the problem is because retailers don't allow their "guards" to stop anyone, right?

I live in the US , but I grew up in Canada, Zellers was awesome liked it far more than Walmart and they had quality stuff in the 90s. I got most of my clothes and school supplies from Zellers and I even worked as a cashier there for a year before moving. Always will love Zellers!

​@@screaminpman Whether your feelings are hurt by it or not, still true.

​@@screaminpmankeep voting the way you do, just don't expect change

@@screaminpman welp, whatever. Still true.

De facto in San Francisco. Everywhere else there’s a whole list of other problems…

White liberals think by decriminalizing shoplifting they are "helping" black people', when in fact they are destroying businesses in black neighborhoods. However white liberals don't care about that because there's no virtue signaling in it.

Sort of. In CA they created a new crime definition of "shoplifting" which is stealing up to $950 worth of stuff, and is treated differently from other forms of larceny. This is classified as a misdemeanor. But the reality is DA's in SF area rarely bother to prosecute this crime, usually pushing a diversion program if they don't outright let it drop.

so you think there is a correlation? :)

Yes. It was sold to us in a very tricky way. I am ashamed to say I voted for it. They sent us "for and against" essays, and they were very, very deceitful about what was going on. I was under the impression that the idea was to prevent wealthy people from being able to buy their way out of crimes via the bail system...as in keep them IN jail. That's the way the essay made it sound. The reality is that they intended to let everyone OUT instead of having bail.

you can thank BLM , woke people and family members of criminals

I blame the current economic crisis in these cities when your homeless population rivals your homed population this is going to happen. Greed and suffering go hand in hand

Most cities don’t have the big money like New York City where they have billions of dollars and a massive army of police. People in other cities don’t want to pay the higher taxes

@@ramencurry6672 New York has only 36,000 police officers, for a city that big. They defunded $282 million from the police. That means they fired nearly half their police force in their defunding act. They lost over 19,000 police officers.

@@NR-cq6uu police budget for NYC is still over 5 billion dollars though. What’s the police budget for the nearest big city you’re in?

I swear liberals lie and hide facts more to protect feelings and conservatives telling the truth get called a**holes or r*cists or misogynists.

The problem is global warming and white supremacy!

They are not actually lying to themselves. They are just towing the line, for the elite, corrupt and crooked California governor and his band of elected thugs (aka politicians in California). These people live in their ivory towers, and are not affected by this one bit! Blame the deranged nuts in that state who vote these people in!

I hear ya and often wonder if anyone else thought the same thing.

I love that answer its the best.

Most thieves were trump supporters

“It’s evolving, just backwards.”

That's exactly what they're doing.

😂 Galvin, go work at a target. We need a real leader, not a loser.

They can just go work at another store, the employees aren't losing their jobs.

​@@mrsleep0000You must be a criminal. And you'll steal from that store too and they won't have a job. You don't know what working is since you steal everything. Pathetic

Target inflates their losses to increase prices ! It’s a known that they are aware of evetry item that leaves the stores

Why else would they be closing? If the business isn’t thriving, it makes sense to close up shop.

@@DSTREETMEDIA So they are purposely shutting down profitable stores? Yeah, that's complete and total BS. Stores don't have to "justify" prices. They charge what they charge and you buy it or don't.

@@vonettadevo Well yes. The thing is though all the supermarkets and wal marts gave BS word salad for why they closed.

@@The2ndFirst I mean I’m sure they aren’t telling the complete truth and that there’s more to it. After this, I read that they’re opening a new location in Harlem on 125th St soon after closing the East Harlem location.

There are plenty of laws. There is an enforcement of law issue more than a lack of laws issue

Obama gang

Yeah these people are stealing because their families are hungry due to covid restrictions. Uh huh.

But no one is leaving and you will deal with it no matter how bad it gets

It didn't make stealing legal, it made any theft amounting under $950 a misdemeanor. It was advertised as a bill to help low-income areas by diverting funds to more mental care facilities, when in reality it just went back into Newsom's direct deposit

There’s no incentives for the DAs and prosecutors to start prosecuting either because the voters are too stupid to stop voting democrat And can’t connect dots

Unfortunately that behavior has become a problem across the US and all because of one culture

Just remember, it could be Gavin Newsome the Govenor of California, who will be running for President against Trump.

@@elgastsos210 the only reason they legalize weed is for votes. I don’t care if people smoke the stuff just don’t lie about why they legalized it

This was what voters were told about Prop 47. "Requires misdemeanor sentence instead of felony for certain drug and property offenses. Inapplicable to persons with prior conviction for serious or violent crime and registered sex offenders. Fiscal Impact: State and county criminal justice savings potentially in the high hundreds of millions of dollars annually. State savings spent on school truancy and dropout prevention, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and victim services." This is what voters weren't told. Under Prop 47, you may qualify for a reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor for some of the following offenses: Certain Forgeries Commercial Burglary Petty Theft with Priors Bad Check Grand Theft Crimes Possession of Stolen Property.

@@MelissaR784That's always the scam with these loaded bills. Too many innate complications filled with treacherous advertising talking points. Our omnibus spending bills are exactly the same.

@@MelissaR784 it's not even that. no specific bill or proposition did all this.

@@BlueInOrangeAgain This is true. There's an agenda that's slowing being implemented. Worldwide.

No room for the criminals. There's nothing to do

​@@TC-zf1jiSimple. Jail and heavier sentences. We let them out in CA; we voted on it in a proposition a few years ago. Bail was removed in exchange for just letting everyone go, then they just ditch their court dates and go back to commiting crimes, and the cycle repeats. They keep closing prisons in the name of "prison is unfair to black folks" and that sort of thing. Well, getting robbed in broad daylight is unfair to ALL of us. I have had to call 911 5 times just this year. I have been robbed twice, both during the day, and had my catalytic converter stolen, also during the day. I am beyond sick of it. Living here is terrible...and also, ironically, more expensive than anywhere else I've ever lived. It's not rocket science here. It we just did what every other state in the US does, we would have similar crime stats to them. This is all in the name of "diversity and inclusion". The governor refuses to even admit crime is up, he even says it's DOWN...while retail stores and real estate firms literally abandon their properties to cut losses...it's like Gavin lives in an alternative universe.

But Target has insurance

​@@XxowendanxXBasic retail theft isn't covered by business insurance. It only covers losses from events like looting from riots or natural disasters.

​@@gheebuttersnaps2011I believe he's being sarcastic in reference to the crazies saying the exact same thing when they burned a large chunk of Minneapolis to the ground.

pacifism is the best way to enable the evil parts of society to get stronger and bolder. modern liberals assume that people are only evil because of the system making them bad but certain people are just more likely to act in certain ways and thats just human nature. so they apply these laws that make no logical sense thinking it will make society more fair when all it does is gut the social cohesion and trust when people sees things like this go unpunished. and the worst part, instead of changing their practices seeing that its not working, they double down

They've created such a mess, I don't think they have the backbone to do what it takes to clean these cities up. All they'll do is try to push these people off onto other areas and make the rest of us deal with this trash.

They stand to lose millions of not tens millions and they have nothing to say? There has to be something else going on.

Because they can't. 😂 Policies and politics won't let them.

Major stores use to be able to hire off duty police officers. Along with store security; they would be able to apprehend and charge right on the spot, but the communities complained it was unfair, especially in liberal areas. Forget the fact thieves would be caught with the evidence. Neighborhoods said we don't need police. Here we are. Go Blue states!

@@TasmanianWolvesheard that it was already ruined a long time ago by white drug addicts. the blacks destroying it was just the final nail to the coffin.

I think this is part of a plan to move everything online. Silicon Valley would be a prime location to start such a “online only” society. The solution is so blindingly obvious but the politicians won’t do what is required and I think they are getting the intended result. Throw shop lifters in jail on every offense, and prison after 3 or more convicted counts and watch shoplifting disappear, but it’s not even mentioned.

It’s literally unconstitutional. The people have spoken

But they is melanated and oppressed

Prisons are over flowing and too many steel

In Alameda County, they have to deal with the incompetent DA Pam Price, she basically says it’s racist to arrest them, anybody really, murderers, thieves, to charge them and add any further charges even if they murder somebody, cuz she was once a juvenile criminal in her youth, so she thinks these thieves and gang bangers will be the next US President, the next in Congress or something, the next Obama, so there are gang bangers not getting gang enhancement charges, gun charges dropped, a 5 year old was murdered on the freeway, people let off, and she issued a memo to her staff not to file criminal charges, so it is basically lawless for the most part and AC has to deal with her for another 3 years til 2027, so I don’t except much to change, the dmg had alrdy been done, that’s pretty much the Bay Area thinking in-general 🤔 and them DAs get paid probably 200k-400k+, like $150+ an hour to be severely incompetent and protecting the thieves, homeless and gang bangers Stay outta the Town, the O, its too hood, the Bay Area in general, you’ll be risking your life, gettin robbed broad day light, and your car will either be stolen and gone, maybe stripped and left out on the street if its a nice car, your car will be on 🧱 cats stolen or broken into, itsa no go zone if you value safety 🚫⛔️🙅‍♂️❌🙅‍♂️
