They aren't working and are desperate for money. It's like all of the "migrsnts" selling candy with the kid. Do you think they make any real money doing that? Not really.

Sometimes I think you like to stir the pot just because you think you can.

You don't know eff about these people nor countries they came from.

Versace, Dior and Prada are worldwide luxury brands. You'd have to be living under a rock not to know.


You don't think there is wealth along side poverty in Venezuela or Africa?

Every news article on this story tells same MO; these "migrants" entered Bloomingdales and went straight for sunglass area. They also knew what to take. Thus obviously either one or more of them had been before, or someone who has gave them marching orders.

If this were some random grab and dash there is plenty of other merchandise close to doors these 15 or so eejits could have jacked and made a hasty retreat.

There most definitely is... One of my friends is from Venezuela from an upper middle class family in Caracas. Those were the people immigrating here before... Professionals.... Now you've got you're tired, your poor.... They're not sending their best here...

Why, because I'm not on the bandwagon with everybody else? Lol.

Because I wasn't aware that the mod's role on C-D was that of contrarian and pot-stirrer, pushing an obvious agenda. But what do I know?

They are shorter than American grown people, even of the same ancestry.

Contrarian? Absolutely. But I have no agenda. It's not a requirement for all of us here to be in agreement with each other. All I do is make sure things are kept civil on here. When spammers come here, they are dispersed, and nobody disrespects nobody else on here. No copyright infringements, all in the ToS. But nobody has to agree with each other.

We need that here on C-D. It's too much of a right-wing silo as it is.

Pot-stirrers are fun. Like you, Otter. Fun posts. (I for one, agree with your phone protests and all that)

Bizarro world.
It seems the Chinese are now using Ecuador as a gateway. Who knew, with how "well" China is doing, taking over the world and all that, lol. You think these are educated Chinese or peasants? Usually, the Chinese do very well in the U.S.

But they might get caught up in the new violence here too (Ecuador).
