If you don't understand this, you are watching the wrong news source. Those very same cities are the ones where the legislators, prosecutors, and judges have effectively removed all criminal penalties for retail theft. There are hundreds of videos of people loading shopping bags or carts and walking out of stores with hundreds of dollars of products. They do this as individuals and also as gangs. If anyone tries to stop them, it the good guy who gets in trouble, not the criminal. As for the neighborhood, there is another defining demographic that sticks out beside lower income. Of course, if the decent people of those neighborhoods would realize that no one is picking on them. They just need to change who they keep voting for and embrace law and order.
"..in poor neighborhoods where people have less money..." The redundancy speaks volumes by itself, but the subtle genocide strategy shows how those big business folks feel about people in poverty.
Really? And just what are the big business folks doing to the people in poverty? The large drug chains charge the same prices at the store in the good neighborhood as the store in the crime ridden neighborhood. But, they can't keep subsidizing the store where more product leaves due to theft than is purchased. Or, the store where they have to pay to lock up all the merchandise and then hire twice as many employees to deal with the merchandise all being locked up.
