Interesting how the Wal-Mart on the higher income side of town didn't see fit to put up one way auto gates.
Link to videos of shoplifters nonchalantly stuffing merchandise in trash bags in Oklahoma??

Hopefully you’ve learned from your mistake in voting Blue and will not do the same in Florida. I live in a Blue hell hole and been thinking of moving to Florida myself, but I’m holding off since way too many NY/NJ refugees are moving down there AND without question vote Blue.

Good luck in your new life in Florida!!

Plus 1 Walmart neighborhood market. There is no Target, due to area income being too low and not enough people with higher income.

Promote funding education, rather than more and more money for prisons and you might have fewer poor people wanting to indulge in crime.
Put them on chain gangs for lessor crimes and death penalty for more serious crimes and poor or not, you'll see less crime.

Promote funding education. We provide free basic education now and there are agencies who provide help to people who are truly in need. For a change, why not place the blame of the crime on the sorry, no-good for nothing criminals instead of falling all over yourself trying to make sure their rights are not infringed on and making every excuse under the sun as to why they are no-good rotten to the core thugs to begin with. I just want to get down on the ground and throw up whenever I hear such BS as you just spouted.

Make it unacceptable and I mean really unacceptable to be a criminal and you will see drastic reduction in crime. Let them get by with their crimes and you will see an increase in crime. It's all very fundamental so surely even the most simpleminded can understand the basics here, even with just a 12 year education provided free of charge courtesy of taxpayers.

Everyone is born with a mind and the ability to make decisions (with the exception of some mental cases of which there are places to help those people too). To keep forever making excuses for the ones (who for whatever reasons refuse to abide by society's laws) is just asinine retarded. Puke, puke, puke.

California has among the lowest threshold for felony theft in the US.

Texas and Wisconsin have the highest threshold @ $2500.

When California increased its threshold to $950, some media sensationalized it and chose not to compare the threshold to other states. Shows how easy public perception is influenced by media and failure to fact check.
