Property Crimes! Thieves & Vandals, Amoral & Extremely Dangerous

Opinion

“Instead of Gnostics, we have Existentialists and God-is-dead theologians. Instead of Neo-Platonists, devotees to Zen Instead of desert hermits, heroin addicts. Instead of mortification of the flesh, sadomasochistic pornography. As for public entertainment, fare offered on television is still a shade less brutal than that provided by the Roman Amphitheater, but only a shade, and may not be so for long!” ~ WH Auden.

“Aggressive” shoplifting is quickly morphing into armed robbery. This phenomenon is the predictable “next step!”

In recent weeks, two adults and two teenagers formed an “aggressive” shoplifting team that hit a Home Depot in GA. In the process, one of the thieves attacked a store employee, sending the latter to the hospital.

It’s not uncommon now, in the same Atlanta area, for thieves to actually start fires inside of stores so that they can steal merchandise during the “distraction.” These fires cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage (in addition to the stolen merchandise), but thieves don’t care, and sleazy politicians who choose to speak for them care even less.

Thieves commit these acts of thievery, combined with criminal violence, with absolute confidence that they will never be arrested, prosecuted, or ever see the inside of a jail.

Of course, leftists/Marxists don’t believe in “private property.” Accordingly, they think thievery and vandalism are not crimes. In fact, in NYC, all of CA, IL, and certainly Atlanta, thievery is now legal. There is never a penalty (nor even so much as an inconvenience) as we see.

In fact, anyone who even suggests that our government, in the personage of police and prosecutors, should exercise their sworn duty to protect us and our hard-earned property can expect to be immediately excoriated as a “racist!”

Property crimes are vigorously prosecuted in any civilized society worthy of the title. Otherwise, we descend into a third-world shithole, which we, in fact, see happening now in the above-mentioned places.

Media-promoted personal-safety advice:

“Go only to well-lighted places, covered by CCTV cameras, and with other people around.”

It is still valid, but it doesn’t come with a guarantee! The average American citizen is probably not thinking about desperately trying to exit a large store filled with toxic smoke.

Times are changing rapidly, and Operators thus have to increase our level of awareness and tweak lifestyles as appropriate. These thieves and vandals, besides being amoral, are extremely dangerous.

At one time, elected officials cared about our safety and the integrity of our valuable personal property that we labored so hard to acquire. We, and it, enjoyed real value in the eyes of our politicians.

Not anymore!
