Have you ever had a cell phone-leggings-sneaker sandwich? I guess they are quite tasty, considering how often the ingredients are stolen by allegedly hungry people.
Like the night before last, when a mob of teenagers looted stores in downtown Philadelphia. Included targets were Apple, Lululemon and Foot Locker. Notice the stores were not Kroger's or Safeway or any other purveyors of food. Yet AOC, that saucy bartender-turned-Congresswoman from the Bronx, explains away these repeated crimes by saying that the looters, "may lack funds enough to feed their families so they steal bread to feed their children."
I wish that once -- just once -- an article reporting on these highly coordinated assaults on high-end retail establishments, now so frequent they are considered to be "an epidemic" by the National Retail Federation, would mention that almost every one of the looters is a young black person grabbing nothing edible.
Obviously, fear of angering blacks is the biggest detriment to ending the rising crime in America's cities. So why not talk about it? How does it help anyone to sweep the truth under the rug? Target's answer is to close nine of its stores in four states because of organized retail crime. If a store as large as Target can't handle the losses, how can any retail establishment?
