Instead of blaming walmart and capitalism blame the thieves who neither this topic nor their own communities hold accountable for their actions.


Maybe if capitalism wasn't so awful to everyone not rich, people wouldn't steal. It certainly has a share of the blame in all this.

Hundreds of kids go on a random violence spree across the city because they're bored.
The community: *silence*
Wal Mart closes because of too much theft
The community: *outrage*

The beach and park were not a violence of hundreds of kids.

Hundreds of kids went. There was violence.

Remember. Kids should be able to enjoy the park and the beach.

Not when there's a curfew in place that was put up to prevent that very thing.

Yeah, I feel like there's this big misconception about what and why a lot of people steal. There's this long history of movies and shows portraying thieves as down-on-their-luck people with good hearts who just need enough bread to survive and feed their kids.

Unfortunately, that's not the reality.


Bullshit. If people are stealing food then they are doing it to feed themselves and/or their families.

That's not what they're stealing, usually.

These days if you really need a meal bad, you can always hit up a church. At least I know I can if I wanted some Korean food lol. I'm assuming other non-Korean churches serve food too.

And then there's food banks, but I guess that's only depending on availability and how much they're getting hit with requests for food. There are also all kinds of charities.

I'm doubtful that anyone truly starves to death in America if they really want food that bad. If you can even scrounge up a few bucks from donations as a panhandler, you can eat dollar store food. Etc.

It really sucks for the employees because most of them are hourly and thus part-time. Walmart did extend pay for full-timers.

No one is counting how many Chicagoans lost their income.

Literally every Walmart employee is hourly other than the salary paid managers.

It depends on the store and how many available hours they have.

A store with a high turnover rate is gonna have plenty of hours to give away, and retail here has a high as fuck turnover rate.

There were rumors some in Arizona were shutting down but I don't think that ever happened after. If anything they would have closed those neighborhood markets since I don't know anybody who goes to them.

Stop feeling sorry for these criminals, and no it is not being compassionate when you enable or support crime.
Sorry but there is no scenario where wallmart is less evil than anyone stealing them

People got mad when they closed the Target on the south side too.

Theft and the general lack of care from the employees is what did them in and I'm sure it's the same for these Walmarts.

Oh no! Not the theft! From the store with no employees arouns to help anyone!

Who would imagine!!
