Plain and simple. The democrats cannot provide their constituents with safety and security. Crime, terrorism, corruption, graft, border security, incarceration, gun rights, espionage, everything. They just don’t give a fuck. | |||

Lawlessness. What happens to a society when it becomes lawless? It falls - every time. I found what you said riveting. | |||

So what is a store to do? Stop people who have shoplifted and take back the stolen goods? What if it can be shown that the vast majority of people they stop are non-white? Isn't that enough to prove prejudice, in the media anyway? We have to boycott these racists!  ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

In CA, the limit is $950 and the criminal is issued a simple citation and released. Not booked or hauled to jail. Cited and released. So if I was an entrepreneuring young criminal, I'd walk into the grocery store, steal $100 of groceries Monday, Wednesday and Friday - and ignore the citations. On Tuesday, I'd hit up Verizon, REI, Bed Bath & Beyond, Costco, Macy's etc. I'd try to run up several hundred dollars per store, haul the stuff home, sell it on Craigslist to generate cash for rent. Yeah baby! P229 | |||

Then they complain about living in a "food desert". Food deserts are defined as parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers. This has become a big problem because while food deserts are often short on whole food providers, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, instead, they are heavy on local quickie marts that provide a wealth of processed, sugar, and fat laden foods that are known contributors to our nation’s obesity epidemic. http://americannutritionassoci...defines-food-deserts "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Well, at least in Dallas that would be stealing "for economic gain" and could get you prosecuted.  flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

What other type of stealing is there other than for economic gain? Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

While it is okay to steal from private businesses and persons, it's NOT okay to steal from the government by paying no taxes. I found what you said riveting. | |||

They did this in Alaska, and thefts including car thefts went through the roof in Anchorage. When DA won't prosecute, the police will quit showing up to fill out the theft reports and last November's election the voters said "enough."

Guess when I need a new Xbox, Ill just go to Dallas. Walk in a Gamestop, pick one up and stroll out. I'm going to keep it, not sell it, so there is no economic gain. Hell, why buy anything? Dine and dash, free gas, free beer. Hell yeah, maybe I need to move there! Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

So at what point do these thieves become categorized as "habitual criminals" and DO get arrested and charged?? Exodus 20:15 "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Enjoy your bucket of FAIL, Dallas. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
Never. “Assumed innocent” until convicted. Can’t get convicted if not arrested and tried so perpetually innocent. Kind of a “Catch -22” What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

And this creates a two-tiered system of justice. If you are white, you get prosecuted. If you are black, you don't get prosecuted. Of course, it won't be spelled out that way, but whether or not you get prosecuted will depend on where you live. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

So if they are not going to prosecute these crimes are the Law Enforcement Agencies not going to respond to thefts under $750? Is it not a waste of department resources to send out an officer(s) on something that will go no further? Is this amount a diminished value? So the insurance company devalues an item 20% per year if someone is looking for an enclosed trailer just take one that is six years old? Value is less then $750. What is the property value amount limit a Texan can protect with lethal force? ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Sounds like a campaign promise tailored to get the votes of petty criminals and their supporters.  | |||

Here, read the full text. https://www.dallascounty.org/A...451i90fACmvzRkZDesNg The shoplifting aspect is a small part of it. Mark my words the lack of prosecution for criminal trespass is going to hurt the city and mental health resources badly. The mental health facilities are overflowing as it is. | |||
