Los Angeles: Flash Mob Steals $12,000 Worth of Goods From Nike Store

Not a care in the world. Either this is a big family or these people are recruiting online using apps.

These past few years has just proven how incompetent 'woke' Democrats are at governing.

Yeah, California became the largest sub-national economy in the world by sheer incompetence, for sure. Won the Summer Olympics bid for the same reason.

The second these people enter, run to the front door and lock it and call 911. They allow them to just run out.

Large stores like this should be allowed to have shutters that close and seal off the stores and safe rooms for the employees so they can cage the animals until the authorities arrive if this is how people are going to act.

[QUOTE] These past few years has just proven how incompetent 'woke' Democrats are at governing.

What the hell would Republicans do differently that would’ve prevented this, R2?

Reparations y'all!!

R4, police are powerless. These DAs let them go if what they stole is under a certain amount. All I hear from Gen Z and morons like Cynthia Nixon is that this is justified - capitalism is bad, and the stores will get their money back through insurance. No one was hurt.

Just start turning shoplifters into 3-strikes lifers - prison boom time!

Millennials weren't doing this shit.

Millennials were cowards! ^^^

Fun fact: Nike actually makes $5 profit from a $100 pair of shoes.

[quote] What the hell would Republicans do differently that would’ve prevented this, [R2]?

As much as I hate Republicans, they wouldn’t stand for this “You can steal as long as it’s under $1,000” shit. They’d also lock them up and throw full support behind the police. This idea on the Left that the US can abolish its police force and install social workers is peak insanity. Philly, Chicago, and California are sinking thanks to these so-called progressive policies. No one is afraid break the law anymore as there aren’t real repercussions.

One hour of community service per penny of damage done.

Stores need to go back to the model like Service Merchandise, Argos or Oleson’s Mercantile. Pay for it first then someone brings the item to you from the stockroom.

R15, they’ve tried that but civil rights groups and politicians come out screaming racism and threatening lawsuits and everyone backs off. Stores in Philly have everything locked up. Corner stores had everything, including the workers, behind glass (workers were constantly getting robbed and shot at) and the city threatened a racial discrimination suit because it made black residents feel that they were being treated like criminals in the stores.

Arm all retail workers and extend "stand your ground" laws to stores. A couple of shoplifters getting blown away will stop this crap dead.

Maybe this is the reason that Wall street hedge funds are financing ultra "progressives". Cause, you know more crime on the street, more merchandise sold.

College kids home for Thanksgiving, bored and looking for a cheap thrill. Victimless crime, just kids goofing off. They'll use this experience and A.I. to produce papers for their Intersectional Resistance and Law Reform course.

Cities are asinine to defund their police departments because we're obviously going to need a lot [italic]more[/italic] police if we want to maintain a civilized society...which sadly seems to be slowly slipping away in major cities.

The proliferation of this type of activity, particularly in urban areas, is the result, in part, of municipalities being hesitant to hand out criminal penalties for relatively minor crimes committed by young offenders. And, yes, there is a racial component to this calculation. But I’m not sure how local legislators and executives thought that this was going to solve the problem. Shockingly, letting the thieves off with relatively few if any repercussions didn’t stop crime, because the miscreants only upped the ante. Instead of just flouting the laws by committing fare-jumping when riding the subway, 13- and 14-year-old kids moved up to commit armed carjackings.

And yes, a part of the blame is the fault of cops and prosecutors who don’t want to deal with these crimes and the rest of the judicial system where administrators don’t think they have the capacity to handle a large volume of smaller cases. But failure to curb the problem when it is small leads to it becoming a bigger issue.

Thank God R5’s stupid ass isn’t in charge of anything except putting on his own Depends.

Imagine stores following that dumb plan, allowing you to be trapped inside with a group of desperate thugs.

You wouldn’t be sued into oblivion AT ALL!

[quote]Yeah, California became the largest sub-national economy in the world by sheer incompetence, for sure. Won the Summer Olympics bid for the same reason

The IOC is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world.

Open fire! I've had it!!

I feel bad for retail workers who have to deal with this type of threatening behavior when they're just trying to earn a living to put themselves through school or pay rent.

And California became the largest sub national economy in the 20th century. For most of the 20th century until the Clinton-era realignment, California was an incredibly conservative state. Anyone who keeps trying to rest the state’s laurels on the economic success on the 20th century is essentially simping for reactionary law-and-order policies of Ronald Reagan.

R26, are you arguing for a return to law and order?

The foundation of secular liberalism, is, in fact, law and order. Look at the idiots who had absolute faith that Robert Mueller was going to do something.

The mistake that “crime reform advocates” are making is that they are operating under the assumption that “safe blue” communities will never oust them from power.

They are horribly, horribly wrong and in face are paving the way for a pivot to reactionary authoritarianism. And not all reactionary authoritarianism is right-wing (remember that thing called the Soviet Union?)

This reminds me of the liberal Minneapolis suburb that vowed never to call the cops after the Floyd incident. I wonder how long they kept that nonsense up. Probably right after all their cars were stolen.

Black teens commit crime, news outlets and police afraid of being called racists if it is pointed out, liberals blame black crime on white privilege, and the crime continues...............

Almost all neo-Marxist rhetoric in regards to justice reforms blithely ignores the fact that Marx himself had little affection for the class of people he called the Lumpenproliteriat, which included petty thieves and the like, the “…essentially parasitical group” which “could not normally play a progressive role in history.”

Most university-trained “Marxists” in the West are simply cosplaying bourgeois dilettantes. Actual Marxism is very, very severe. In a Marxist-Leninist society, these people (who would have been raiding a communal commissary instead of a private enterprise) would simply have been shot on sight.

"Fun fact: Nike actually makes $5 profit from a $100 pair of shoes."

Total and complete bullshit:

Raw Materials: $1.00 Raw Labor: 50 cents (nothing if they can be made in a forced labor camp or use child labor) Transportation Costs: $5.00 Advertising/Marketing: $25.00 Corporate Overhead: $20.00 Executive Compensation: $15.00 Payments to athletes for endorsements: $20.00

Total Expenses: $81.50, profit $18.50.

Why don’t stores in large cities have armed security at the door? Wouldn’t paying guards come out cheaper than losing hundreds of thousands to theft every year? By the time the cops respond, the perps are already long gone anyway . Need to be locked and loaded in the heat of the moment.

R33 These tin heads have no idea of Marx' theory. Marxism is an economic and political theory that examines the flaws inherent in capitalism, the exploitation of laborers, the theory of surplus value, class struggle. It uses a materialist interpretation of historical development, better known as historical materialism, to understand class relations and social conflict and a dialectical perspective to view social transformation.

I has nothing to do with ideologies promoting reverse racism or white liberal self hatred sponsored by Wall street and big business to stir shit and division.

Cynthia Nixon thinks it's wonderful that RIFF RAFF is now allowed to steal up to $900 of merchandise at a CVS or other retailer LEGALLY.

R31- Therefore the neverending

CHAOS 😮

What exactly could a security guard do in a situation like this? Close the door locking them in with employees and customers? Shoot them? These are not rhetorical questions.

Get a large enough group and steal all you want without repercussions.

Has the black fist troll showed up yet. Once in a blue moon that cunt is funny.

What would Republicans do?

Lock them up in prisons that’ll be decommissioned in order to finance the next round of tax cuts

R31 You are 100% correct. I wish more black people would wake up as I have.

Teacake, I am glad you are finally acknowledging that you are Black.

You are still extremely ghetto, though. You have that pompous, pretentious writing style that suggests an insecure Black person who is aiming to appear more intelligent than they actually are.

You see a lot of drag queens doing something similar.

Thieves are horrible. I wish there was a little clear plastic cable or something that pop up at the exit and cause them to trip. It would be funny all their stolen goods go flying like in Better Call Saul.

R44 I have always acknowledged that I am black despite some insisting I was partaking in digital black face. As far as the other diatribe you posted, well you know. You are non motherfucking factor cunt. It doesn’t even make sense.

I don't know about all that. But you know what I do know? Training Day movie still holds up. It's a damn good movie.

[quote]As far as the other [bold]diatribe[/bold] you posted

See, there you go straining again. You had to reach for that word that you thought cost 50 cents, didn't you? And you paid double what it is actually worth.

Next time, just say something like, "As for the rest of your post ... "

You'll seem like less of a try-hard that way.

R46 Teacake love, they're not worth it. They feed off you getting upset. There is something wrong with them and you can't fix it. You can never fix sense in a troll, they're too demented and unwilling to meet in the middle. They like to fight.

R48 lol. You are so miserable with your life but that did give me a good chuckle—the 50 cent joke. Haha. Are you suggesting one is cashing check that one’s ass can’t cash. Can you help a cunt out. Be my benefactor.

[quote]These past few years has just proven how incompetent 'woke' Democrats are at governing.

The largest Republican run city in America, Jacksonville FL, has one of the highest crime rates of a large city in America. Higher than Chicago. So, sorry Defacto. No.

Teacake, my life is great. The advice that I just gave you is a gift, and it is very valuable. You should take it and run with it. And not only online but also in your professional life, where your particular brand of misplaced snobbery will actually cost you a great deal, no matter how much shit you talk about other Black people.

[quote]Teacake, I am glad you are finally acknowledging that you are Black.

Teacake-facto is about as black as I am.

But they're little angels!

So close to working on their Ph.D dissertations!

Reparations!

R52 I am not a snob in real life and never have been. Get lost you loser.

At some point, one of these mobs will try this and one of our mass shooters will mow them down.

Two sicknesses of American life will merge. It's only a matter of time.....

Why do people insist I am defacto when I am not. However I’ve also seen people swear Greg is defacto.

By the way, I am actually Black so I am perfectly entitled to tell you about yourself, Teacake.

All of these stores need some Rooftop Koreans. That'll end this fuckery.

I don't think OP knows what a " flash mob" is.

Why is it always blacks who do this shit? Why?

R51 could you explain yourself. Chicago has a much higher crime rate than Jacksonville Fl according to statistics.

I can’t help noticing these flash mobs seem to focus on stealing highly fetishized items. I find a certain irony in that since one doesn’t work for something it often has less of a personal value. Possibly the act of stealing is a big part of the incentive. They probably end up selling them for Pennies on the dollar.

Apparently, a lot of this stuff ends up on Facebook Marketplace r63

12,000 divided by 17 is with a 10 percent manager's discount on the floor samples is 635 each. Of course, their behavior is abhorrent, dangerous and criminal. I'm sure this clip will play 100's of times on FOX this week.

I only wish that rich people's crimes carried the same proportionate outrage. All financial crimes should carry the same weight as a thug with an I phone or TWIG.

Trump scammed his insurance company for 17 million or the equivilant of 17, 000 TWIGs and then made his ins broker Ambassador to the Dominican Republic.

Gotta get my gibs!

I wish people would stop downplaying these crimes. Activities like this are not good for us (prices passed on to consumers), our neighborhoods, or our mental health.

The link

Please grow up, R67.

What is your argument that these crimes don't harm us? Please address the topic.

Jacksonville elected a Democratic mayor this year.

The largest Republican mayor-led city is Dallas, whose mayor switched parties.

My argument that they don't harm me is that I am sitting in my luxury condo on 22nd floor of my luxury building on the waterfront in Boston. Prices are up, but prices are up across the board for everything. I went to the Cheesecake Factory yesterday in Cambridge, their menu prices were up. I am not sitting here blaming rambunctious teenagers for it. Only you are doing that. Grow up. If you are looking for someone to blame for your pocket book getting squeezed, then look to the companies that you buy from who are actually squeezing your pocketbook.

It doesn’t affect you today.

Lawlessness will eventually, though.

It will even come to the door of your luxury condo, eventually.

Corporate malfeasance (eg wage theft) does far more societal damage than these flash mobs. But it usually doesn't have a face, whereas these mobs do -- AND they allow right-wingers to freely indulge their racism. It's a great strategy for the divide-and-conquer crowd.

Not dealing with crime makes people feel the government has forsaken them. And calling people who care about crime racists also doesn't works well with POC. Just another reason for them to abandon the Dems as their real concerns are not addressed.

Republicans are too busy stealing from the top down

Those people are just out of control lately.

It’s funny to hear Cher now complaining about this, “It’s even hit Malibu!” As if other areas don’t matter.

Did you ever see this one. The guy opens the security cases with a blowtorch in NYC. Stole hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. No one is afraid anymore.

I love these “progressives” who say that they’re stealing shit because they’re poor, as if they’re stealing milk to feed their baby. Meanwhile, they’re stealing makeup.

Everyone screams about the US having too many people in prison. Have you gotten a good look at Americans? We need MORE prisons, not fewer. Too many lunatics running around.

R72 is a parody post.

R65, you are an amoral person. With that out of the way, this is a gateway into bigger crime. These will be future murderers and rapists. They fear no one. Wake the fuck up. It will end up at your doorstep.

I don't think most progressives are claiming they're stealing to feed their children, r79. But (as a progressive) I think a feeling of hopelessness and nihilism absolutely drives this type of behavior. Have you ever had nothing to lose? Well, the people engaging in this type of activity have nothing to lose. They know they are disposable.

Here is good old Philly, kicking in a woman’s back window on motorcycles with guns out. She has a kid in the back of the car. She gets out and stands up to the thug who has the gun pointed at her.

[quote]It will even come to the door of your luxury condo, eventually.

*rolls eyes*

Stop being such a simp.

R58 I don’t give a fuck if yo stankin ass was purple. You are an annoying insufferable online troll. Furthermore you feel some type of way about a fellow poster’s blackness or so called lack thereof or put on. I don’t even know how to put words on your hating ass. Get a life, cunt.

In other news: An Illinois jury ruled this week that several major egg producers conspired to limit the U.S.'s supply of eggs in order to raise prices in a case stemming from a federal lawsuit originally filed 12 years ago… The jury found that the egg suppliers exported eggs to reduce the overall supply in the domestic market, as well as limiting the number of chickens through means including cage space, early slaughter and flock reduction, court documents say.

The suit was brought by Kraft and Kelloggs and the price fixing happened between 2004-2008.

Now imagine if prosecutors brought a new suit to determine if the same ”scarcity” happened during Covid. Four egg suppliers control most of the US market.

Just in case you thought all the retail thievery happened due to gangs of kids.

R86 You are tedious.

Two things can be true at the same time: price gouging is wrong. Looting stores is wrong.

But what you don't seem to get is that looting going on in your neighborhood, hits close to home. It is visceral. It creates a climate of fear, of unease. The feeling that things are out of control. It is a quality of life issue.

But all of that goes right over your head. You're simply too dumb to understand. And we're through with the likes of people like you.

Teacake can't be black because blacks don't use the word cunt. She also writes like a prissy white gay man.

I listened to something yesterday where a man said these are mostly kids and young people and for this reason there are little to no consequences. No consequences is the problem. Also a sense of entitlement that some young people seem to have.

But we never work on the actual problem and we just moan about it so it continues.

R88 there goes another DL conspiracy theory

The Nike Store needs a "Schvoogie Buzzer."

When you're working the front counter and a Black person comes in, press the button once. It will alert the manager in the back room.

If two Blacks come in, push the button twice.

If three or more Blacks come in, run out the back and call 911.

r91 is OP of:

[quote]Gay Maryland Mayor Arrested for Child Porn - Is It Gonna Hurt Our Gay Agenda?

And R92 never found the humor in Howard Stern's comedic bits about the racist shopkeeps of Long Island

I hate these crimes and want the criminals to be prosecuted.

But I do understand that it's happening, the increase is happening, because people are doing this to survive. There may be an element of organized crime to this but it's mostly people who have been excluded from society and are doing whatever they can to survive.

This is most of the package stealing as well....people stealing what they can and trying to resell it.

This will increase as the massive corporate machine continues to disregard human life and focus on maximizing profits and minimizing costs, at any cost to society.

R94 Miss me with that hot bullshit.

These animals aren't stealing food to survive. They're targeting Nike shoes, which they can sell for coin. It's organized retail theft. It's not surviving. It's deliberate property crime done by people who'd rather steal and destroy than work for a living. Fuck them, and fuck anyone who feels sorry for them.

No one's been excluded from society. These fuckers can get a job faster than you can say "Record Low Unemployment." Entry-level jobs are begging for applicants in this economy.

Spare us your "corporations did this" nonsense. Criminals did this.

[quote] This idea on the Left that the US can abolish its police force and install social workers is peak insanity

This thought doesn’t exist.

The idea is to hire social workers to work alongside police. Huge numbers of police calls are for people who are emotionally disturbed/mentally ill. The real reason GOP and their billionaire puppeteers don’t want this is because it means social services will need to be delivered. Mental health care. Referrals will need to be made. Cities would become responsible for dealing with their mentally ill/homeless population.

They’d rather just let cops shoot everyone

R96 And who's going to fill all these social work positions? Who's going to get a master's degree and sit for a battery of licenses just to earn $38k a year and spend days and nights in the same room as violent homeless people and child abusers? Who's going to pay for a magical increase in social worker positions, benefits, wages, etc.? And from where are all the mental health beds going to appear and serve these millions of unwell individuals? And who's going to pay for that?

Cities aren't responsible for the genetic conditions or poor choices of their residents. They are only responsible for protecting the law-abiding from the law-breaking. A civilization's bedrock purpose, from Ancient Persia to Bedouin nomads to American suburbs, has been the protection of its members from harm.

And yet no one in their families will get a Christmas present because da man is such a white bastard.

I'm not from around these parts but the likes of R2 are confusing me, as an outsider it seems that the shoplifting craze is quite apolitical with regards to location, I've always read that places like Texas are 100% Republican? Maybe the Republicans of Texas are asleep and not woke?

shriek!

R95 "Miss me with that bullshit"

It's called logic. Something a festering cunt like you appears to be incapable of summoning.

I abhor violence and guns, but seriously wouldn’t mind if these people were shot while in the act. I’m sick of this.

R102 There's no logic in what you're suggesting. Only sentiment, naïve intentions, and a whole lot of Other People's Money.

If you want to open your heart, your wallet, and your home to people who shoot up heroin, shoplift, and shit in the streets, go right ahead.

I work for a living and pay for my own shit.

Obviously scenes like this are maddening and we have to do something about it. It's also copycat behavior and the YouTube prank bullshit.

BUT - theft and loss among retailers is NOT up.

I have a feeling retailers LOVE these clips as a diversion for the unjustified higher prices.

Both can be true.

Aaaaand blocked.

[quote]It is a quality of life issue.

Ding ding ding ding

R87 has used the magic words that police love to use when they are justifying dumb, racist policies like "stop and frisk."

Are you a dumb, racist cop, R87?

Teenagers pose no quality of life issues for me and my neighborhood. Maybe you're just a big, racist Karen.

Stop bringing your naive, Republican bullshit to this board, R103. You just want to justify your inner desire to lock up black kids. Society is wise to your tactics, so now you are trying something new. The fear .... of shoplifting? The fear of ... higher prices?

Well, we can't have that! The only answer is more police! More military hardware! More jails! R103 demands that we construct a police state around ourselves in order to cut down on the shoplifting that has always been there!

You sound like an idiot, R103.

This is the biggest load of horse shit that I have ever heard. And you just know it's coming from dipshit who (1) pays next to zero taxes and (2) was salivating over those government stimulus checks during the pandemic.

People who pay taxes and actually fund government prerogatives through their taxes understand that the real compact between a government and its citizens is to protect everyone, not just the white people living in the suburbs.

And don't even get me started on your use of the word "genetics."

What a piece of shit you are.

The same raci$t piece$ of $hit demanding these "people" be brought to justice are the same assholes applauding Donald Trump every time he wipes his fat, white, entitled ass with the US Constitution and thumbs his nose at the American justice system by physically threatening anybody who threatens him.

[quote]But I do understand that it's happening, the increase is happening, because people are doing this to survive.

Please tell us: why don't you ever see hordes of Asians looting stores?

R110, they don't have a chance, as they are muscled aside by the hordes of impoverished fresh-from-the-boat Mexican migrants. I mean, I haven't seen any reports of these migrants doing these lootings, but they must be doing them, because poverty FORCES people to organize mass lootings of expensive gear. They have NO CHOICE. Poverty, y'see.

Exactly, not even the Mexicans.

Instead it aways seems to be the same demographic group that goes en masse to spread terror with their looting sprees.

[quote]demands that we construct a police state around ourselves in order to cut down on the shoplifting that has always been there!

"Shoplifting" ? Sounds so quaint.

This isn't mere shoplifting. It's LOOTING. It's SMASH and grab. It's violent thuggery.

Notice how, at the beginning of the film, they appear to be just innocently wandering in to shop.

We've all seen plenty of similar videos, in which young black people amble into a store, and then violence or looting break out. We have to pretend we haven't noticed the trends. We have to obediently look sad and sympathetic when "community leaders" wring their hands and wail, "every time a shopkeeper sees a group of young black men in the store, they watch them like a hawk! Oh, the racism!"

This drama is making my pussy wet.

It's very depressing for everyone who saves their cash to buy goods they can afford, and to all the employees working in these stores. It's a mockery of the system we have generally agreed that builds our civil society.

I see people stealing often at self-checkout at the supermarket. It makes me feel like a sucker that I don't steal because apparently immorality and criminality is now routine and fine.

They're all black, right?

R117 there is a meme circulating around: Martin Looter King

R4

Store employees earning minimum wage are supposed to stop a gang of robbers?!

That reminds me of this urban legend that was making the rounds in the 1990s. An Asian clerk gets anxious when a group of young black men enters his convenience store. He keeps an eye on them and holds his breath until they have paid and departed. Shortly after they exit, a bunch of clean-cut white guys enter and the clerk is relieved to see them, but one of them pulls out a gun and they rob him blind.

I think it was supposed to teach people not to race profile black people or something, but if it walks like a duck...

R99

100% Republican?! Are you mental? They still dominate but hopefully, not for long.

Democratic margins are improving in urban areas of the state. In the five counties with the most registered voters (Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, and Travis), Democrats narrowly edged Republicans in 2014 (49.84% v. 48.40%), then widened their margins in 2018 (53.58% vs. 44.12%) and 2022 (57.58% vs. 40.99%). These counties combined accounted for 41.69% of registered voters in the 2022 election, and 40.91% of all votes cast.

Travis and Dallas counties much more closely resemble the frequently assumed default of “blue cities” than do Harris, Bexar, or (especially) Tarrant counties. O’Rourke received 72.61% of the vote in progressive Travis county (up from 66.81% in 2018 and 63.16% in 2014) and 62.78% of the vote in Dallas county (2018: 58.74%; 2014: 54.79%). In Bexar, O’Rourke received 57.47% of the vote (2018: 52.25%; 2014: 48.42%), while in Harris, he received 53.94% of the vote (2018: 52.11%; 2014: 47.08%). Abbott narrowly carried Tarrant after both O’Rourke and Biden narrowly won the county in the 2018 Senate race and the 2020 presidential election, respectively. While O’Rourke was not able to hold onto Tarrant in 2022, the same pattern of gradual Democratic improvement is evident: the Democrat received 47.42% of the vote this year, compared to 43.75% in 2018, and 41.08% in 2014.

Look up Émile Durkheim's concept of anomie.

Crimes like this are just a symptom of a larger problem. Doesn't mean there shouldn't be short-term fixes for it (i.e., punishment for individual crimes and restorative justice), but you won't get rid of it unless you do something to improve social cohesion and a fairer allocation of resources.

And for those who don't read:

White collar crime is a terrible blight on this country ripping off our taxes far more than we can imagine.

But this kind of crime threatens our lives. It is so much more visceral. It hits us in the gut palpably and that's why we react so much more strongly. It is literally a matter of life and death.

R99 your info is wrong. Texas is not 100% Republican, but more like 52/48 split. Urban centers are Democrat, but the hinterlands are vast and regressed. The schism goes to the US civil war when the state narrowly voted for being Confederate i.e. slave holding. Now please carry on, men.

[quote] It is literally a matter of life and death.

Mary!

If you do something stupid maybe. The nature of this kind of crime is to get in and out fast, not murder bystanders. It's the freaks and mentally ill with guns you need to worry about. Shop online!

Great solution R126. Go straight home from work. Don't use the public transportation. Don't go out after dark. Shop online. Don't meet guys on the apps. Don't go out in bars or clubs. Don't open the door to anyone.

[quote]Go straight home from work. Don't use the public transportation. Don't go out after dark. Shop online. Don't meet guys on the apps. Don't go out in bars or clubs. Don't open the door to anyone.

You've just described 95% of DLers.

I use public transportation.

Just so stupid.

“Shop online!” has to be the stupidest comment on this thread.

Here’s hoping you’re not a DNC strategist, r126.

I hate black people.

[130] [131] You're the stupid ones if you don't shop online. Better deals! Order anything you want without being murdered!

Is Teacake Paul Robson black or Rachel Dolezal black?

If a man can be a woman a white person can be black.

And the trans lunatic has arrived!

And the man can be a woman lunatic has arrived! Have you taken out an ax yet and chopped off your dick and balls? Did you do it on a tree stump? I hope so! Blow up your tits with a bicycle tire pump. Send us pics.

[quote]And the man can be a woman lunatic has arrived! Have you taken out an ax yet and chopped off your dick and balls?

No. I'm happy with my dick and balls, just just don't care what adults do with theirs, and how they choose to live their lives.

Yeah and you don't care about how teens mutilate their bodies and they use puberty blockers for children and let men compete in women's sports. Well I'll put it very kindly. You're fucked in the head Joseph Goebbels.

I said adults, troll.

Your obsession with trans people is disrobing.

Disturbing *****

BTW, sorry for derailing the thread, which I guess was r135's intention.

Last post. Really.

R136 derailed the thread. I was just responding to the post from above remarking about Dolezal.

Anyway I do care that men who don't transition call themselves women. It's completely rotten.

It's always the same people.

Most retail theft is committed by the employees.

These mobs are really disturbing though.

Make this behavior a felony and start locking these people up.

Or just shoot them.

R146 is this statistically true? I remember many years ago the head of Tower records saying that he wouldn't raise wages because employees make enough in stealing merchandise.

If someone is shoplifting food, let them be. Otherwise, throw down.

What if it's Coke and Doritos?

Stats don't lie. I tried to warn you.
