Good day all. In the Blue cities and states, crime is now out of control. Retailers are suffering from massive amounts of shoplifting and now \u201cSmash and grab\u201d mobs coming in and taking everything that isn\u2019t nailed down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reasons for all this are both simple and numerous. The primary reason are the Soros prosecutors who are refusing to uphold the law and putting the criminals in jail. Another is states that have said that you can steal anything you want up to a certain monetary value without fear. Then you have the blue states going after people who do defend themselves and their property from the thugs. (See Kyle Rittenhouse) Finally we have the actions of the CEO\u2019s of the major retail chains.<\/p>\n

When the Black Communist Only Lives Matter terrorists started showing up, the CEO\u2019s decided to show their progressive chops by throwing money at them apologizing for being white and shoving things like Critical Race Theory down their employees throats. They thought that doing all this would immunize them from looting parties.<\/p>\n

Now they are finally learning that paying the Danegeld only makes the Viking come back for more, and they are screaming for help. Here are the details from Fox Business<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Retail CEOs are calling on Congress for help amid the smash-and-grab lootings that are leaving them grappling with hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost or stolen merchandise. Some of those same companies, however, supported organizations last year that have called to defund or overhaul policing in the United States.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

“Many corporate leaders jumped on the woke bandwagon and wrote big checks to organizations that still continue to advocate to defund the police. They did not think of anything beyond not being labeled a racist,” Sean Pritchard, president of the San Jose Police Officers Association, told Fox News Digital Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another issue a lot of these woke CEO\u2019s and Boards of Directors are also grappling with is they physical danger their corporate polices have pit their employees in to. As a general rule of thumb, the employees are told not to resist and are forbidden from arming themselves regardless of the laws on carrying a gun. In a number of cases, the scum and villains looting these stores are also going after the staff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nearly two dozen CEOs signed the letter to Congress asking for support as theft crimes<\/a> rage, including the chiefs of Target, Nordstrom, Levi Strauss, Ulta Beauty and Home Depot.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“Leading retailers are concerned about the growing impact organized retail crime is having on the communities we proudly serve,” the letter, which was sent by the Retail Industry Leaders Association to Congress last week reads, highlighting support for the <\/b>INFORM Consumers Act<\/b><\/u><\/a>. “This important legislation will modernize our consumer protection laws to safeguard families and communities from the sale of illicit products and we urge its quick passage.” <\/b><\/p>\n

I took a quick look at the bill, and I don\u2019t see how it actually helps stop criminals from looting stores in Smash and Grab attacks. Of course, it\u2019s also written by Illinois Senator Richard \u201cDurban the Turban) Durban, so it won\u2019t do anything but make life tougher for the average citizen. I\u2019m guessing, from the reading of the bill, and I am no expert in this stuff, that it\u2019s meant to keep people from selling their stolen goods online. I wasn\u2019t aware that Ebay was being used as a fencing operation.<\/p>\n

Fox News examined public support pledged by the companies last year during nationwide protests and riots following the death of George Floyd, and found many of the companies supported left-wing groups such as Black Lives Matter, the Equal Justice Initiative and the ACLU, which advocate to defund or reform policing in the U.S.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah, how is that working out for you numbnuts?<\/p>\n

Nordstrom stores, for example, have repeatedly grabbed the nation\u2019s attention in recent weeks due to mobs of looters storming multiple locations in California, leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and stolen merchandise. CEO Erik B. Nordstrom signed his name to the letter asking for Congressional support, but earlier this year, the company doubled down on its support for Black Lives Matter.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

In a press <\/b>release from January<\/b><\/u><\/a>, the company announced different ways it will reaffirm “commitment to advance diversity, inclusion, belonging” during Black History Month, among them was “supporting the important work of nonprofit organizations including” the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I looked up Nordstrom. It is a publicly traded company, (Stock symbol JWM), and their 5 year chart is not one to inspire confidence for an investor. Having to replace stolen stock certainly doesn\u2019t improve the bottom line even if there is insurance coverage on it. I have to wonder if the shareholders haven\u2019t been paying attention to the CEO\u2019s Progressive antics. It appears he has been putting politics ahead of the company, and that never ends well. I also have to wonder if he has actually thought through what his support of the BCLOM communists is actually giving him.<\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter led the charge last year in rallying Americans to support defunding the police. Co-founder Patrisse Cullors, a self-described “trained Marxist,” said that the way “<\/b>we actually get real accountability and justice<\/b><\/u><\/a>” is through the “demand of defunding law enforcement.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Ahh yes, Comrade Cullors. She is a flat out hypocrite, and should be investigated for fraud. I would love to know how a \u201cTrained Marxist\u201d can justify, or have the ability to buy several mansions woth millions. This is the sort of person Nordstrom is supporting, which makes me think that his competence in running the company is questionable.<\/p>\n

The calls set off a cascade effect of liberal cities moving millions in funds from police departments and an increase in anti-police sentiments followed by corresponding increases in police resignations and early retirements. Departments across<\/a> the country are still struggling to recruit new officers.<\/b><\/p>\n

Morale among police in the Blue cities and states has cratered. They don\u2019t see a reason to actually go out and uphold the law when the criminals are released without charge and go on to commit even worse crimes. They certainly aren\u2019t bothering to show up at the stores suffering from the Smash and Grab looting parties. Now the CEO\u2019s are starting to feel the financial pain and are screaming for help from Congress. They aren\u2019t getting the responses they had hoped for.<\/p>\n

Now, as the CEOs ask for help in combating widespread crime<\/a> in their stores, some in Congress are hitting back.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

“Help them directly? Hell No. They should be ashamed of themselves,” Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy told Fox Digital on Tuesday when asked about the companies pleading with Congress for assistance <\/b><\/p>\n

Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar also said he will not support congressional efforts to assist retailers that “backed BLM during their \u2018summer of love protests\u2019 and efforts to defund the police.” <\/b><\/p>\n

“These woke companies made their bed, now they can sleep in it,”\u00a0he told Fox News on Wednesday. <\/b><\/p>\n

“This is what happens to the woke, they reap what they sow. What did they expect would happen?” <\/b><\/p>\n

Basically, Congress is telling these Woke idiots that, “Getting ripped off? Sucks to be you!\u201d Even worse for the CEO\u2019s is that they probably assumed that the Republicans, at least, would be willing to help them, since the GOP is supposed to be big on Law and Order. Well, they are. What they aren\u2019t is stupid…well, sometimes. They see no reason to help these CEO\u2019s who have done everything they could to wreck the United States and screw over the Republicans. The answer to their cries for help basically is..<\/p>\n
