A major retailer has announced the closure of nine stores in four major American sh*thole cities.
This from westernjournal.com.
On Tuesday, CNBC reported that Target said it:
[W]ould be shuttering one store in New York City, two in Seattle, three in the San Francisco Bay Area, and three in Portland.
Target said:
[T]he decision was made to close the stores due to
the real threat of organized crime in those areas.
The Target statement explained:
We cannot continue operating these stores because
theft and organized retail crime are threatening
the safety of our team and guests, and contributing
to unsustainable business performance.
Target acknowledged the importance of its stores to many communities but said that safety must come first.
The statement continued:
We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all.
The CNBC report states that:
Target had been taking steps to stop crime in stores, such as putting some merchandise in locked cases, hiring more security guards, and training staff on how to de-escalate a situation.
Despite all of these efforts, however, Target has been unable to withstand the rapid rise in crime in certain areas of the country.
Further, Target’s statement:
Despite our efforts, unfortunately, we continue to face fundamental challenges to operating these stores safely and successfully.
What the report fails to mention, however, is
that the four cities in question—New York, San
Fransisco, Portland, and Seattle—are left-wing
cities notorious for their crime problems.
Anyone who has followed the news in recent years knows the problems that each of these cities has had with crime, are due in large part to the insane “soft on crime” policies of their leaders.
If we were to ask Americans which four cities they thought would be on the list, we know many, if not most, would guess these four.
– Take San Fransisco for instance, where, despite being full of hippie liberals who would gladly do their shopping at Whole Foods, the retailer was forced to shut its flagship store downtown after only one year in operation.
– Or look at Seattle, which gained notoriety both nationally and internationally after violent leftists seized an area of the city and declared it the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.”
The only thing that is surprising about this report is the fact that Chicago is not on this list.
After all, anyone who is familiar with recent events in the Windy City will remember that Walmart was forced to shut many of its locations there due to the massive problems with crime in the city.
Perhaps Chicago will be on the next list of tragic cities.
So now, because of their leaders’ failure to solve the issue of crime, millions of Americans will be denied access to affordable goods and services as Target moves out.
Looks like these so-called “compassionate” policies are not so compassionate to millions of law-abiding Americans.
Final thoughts: This is a warning to all those remaining in the above-mentioned geographic areas.
Either before or soon after these stores close, the remaining essential nearby stores will also close. You will soon be facing a collapsed tax base and a retail dead zone. Lawlessness will grow exponentially. A Mad Max way of life will consume you.
Escape as quickly as you are able and, please, leave behind your damn broken politics.
