An environment that fosters less crime would include jobs and small businesses, which the radical left have pretty much burned to the ground, including those in the black community.

No one in their right mind could think that having less law enforcement is going to help that. There will be more street justice and vigilantism, and more black on black killing. Without (or with less) law enforcement, it will be a wild west free-for-all. We have already seen that.

Do you think that stores like Walmart or Target or anybody wants to go back into a neighborhood where they just got looted and torched? These places do look like Mogadishu or Beirut and will stay that way. The Democrats have lost control and have given their cities to the mobs. All that's left is a smoldering pile of rubble and lawlessness.

It's going to take a lot more than the pipe dream of community improvement programs to dig your way out of this mess. It isn't going too happen with the current crop of weak Democratic leaders and certainly not under Creepy Uncle Joe.

Oh, you can be sure walmart, target and other stores will rebuild in those exact same areas! They are making hand over fist in those areas!


The insurance they have, will cover them for this loss too.


Just wait and see next year...look up their P&L figures for the year, I would bet my paycheck the loss of these stores is not even significant, their profits will be HUGE like normal.
