  1. Years ago, a local grocery store chain in the heavily Afro-American city of Beaumont, Texas began to put those little security stickers on all Afro-Sheen products as they were being stolen at an alarming rate. The local NAACP raised hell claiming blacks were being unfairly targeted. (Who in the hell else buys Afro-Sheen products?) The grocery chain opted to discontinue selling Afro-Sheen as they were losing their ass from the thefts. The NAACP went ballistic claiming blacks were being unfairly targeted. I’m not making this crap up!

  2. As long as there is no punishment for bad behavior it will continue and get worse. Sadly all of us will suffer for this behavior.
    Rioters, Looters and Shoplifters should be shot on sight. (minimal exceptions}

  3. “It will also require an employee to verify shoppers’ receipts before exiting the store”

    Yeah, I wanna see how that’s going to work – they’re going to have to physically restrain the thieves in some manner or they’ll just walk out.

  4. this sounds almost as funny as the DC Metro trying to stop toll-jumpers (because of their no-enforcement policy) by putting up plexiglass on each side of the tolls.

    now, the toll-jumpers are just ignoring the plexiglass & jumping over the gates.
    there are actually calls for age-discrimination, as older people can’t jump the gates!

    …. can’t make this stuff up
