On May 25, 2020, a Black man who’d ingested huge quantities of illegal drugs died while a White cop restrained him as an angry crowd threatened. Democrats seized this incident as an opportunity to reclaim the White House and dominate government by racially dividing the nation.

Let me be blunt. Throwing more money at Blacks will make virtue-signaling White leftists feel a little more virtuous. It will not help those Blacks who are sinking into a morass of poverty, crime, abuse, and despair. The only thing that will change is when they stop looking for reparations (even arguably deserved ones) and start repairing their broken communities. ANDREA WIDBURG

Over a dozen vehicles pulled up to the Broadway Plaza shopping mall. Some eighty vandals, some wielding crowbars, ran inside Nordstrom and stole merchandise. Five Nordstrom employees were physically assaulted.
The action was said to be over in less than a minute. With their bounty in hand, estimated at $200,000, the thieves drove off in different directions. Only three were apprehended. Of those, one was illegally carrying a firearm.

Walgreens Closes Five Bay Area Stores amid Shoplifting Surge

The ongoing shoplifting surge has forced Walgreens to close five more San Francisco stores as local law enforcement continues to do next to nothing to curtail the problem.
In a statement to SF Gate, Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso confirmed “organized retail crime” has strangled San Francisco stores.
“Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that,” Caruso said. “Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average.”
“During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment,” he added.
Asha Safai, San Francisco Board of Supervisor for District 11 admitted to feeling “devastated” over the closure a Walgreens store that has “been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades.”
“I am completely devastated by this news – this Walgreens is less than a mile from seven schools and has been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades. This closure will significantly impact this community,” he tweeted.
Safai told SFGate that the shoplifting had crippled the store’s bottom-line and endangered the staff and customers to an unhealthy degree.
“This is a sad day for San Francisco,” Safai said. “We can’t continue to let these anchor institutions close that so many people rely on.”
Shoplifting has skyrocketed in San Francisco recently, likely a result of Proposition 47, which dictates stealing would not be a felony in California if the item stolen did not exceed $950.
The damage has been felt across a range of business outlets.
In May of this year, The San Francisco News described the situation as being “out of control,” noting that 17 Walgreens have had to close in the past five years due to rampant shoplifting in the city.
17 Walgreen locations in San Francisco have closed their doors within the last five years according to a report from the SF Chronicle. Ten of these closures transpired from 2019 to this year with the last Walgreens store to close its door as of this writing, back on March 17. The cause of the closures is due to rampant shoplifting and looting that has transpired at Walgreen locations in the city believed to be perpetuated by an organized crime ring.
On Thursday, May 13 a hearing was held by the Board of Supervisors with retailers, the SFPD, the district attorney’s office, and probation departments. Brendan Dugan, director of organized retail crime and corporate investigations, believes that San Francisco is at the center of organized retail crime. He brought up a state bust in the Bay Area from last year in which $8 million in stolen merchandise was confiscated from five suspects. The merchandise came from CVS, Target and Walgreens stores from all across San Francisco.
The lack of enforcement made shoplifters so nonchalant and casual they would often steal in broad daylight while awestruck customers documented the crime on their iPhones, allowing for some viral internet moments.

San Francisco Safeway Cuts Hours Due to Rampant Shoplifting

A prominent Safeway supermarket in the Castro district of San Francisco is limiting its hours due to rampant shoplifting, the latest example of a retail store closing or limiting its operations in the left-liberal city due to out-of-control petty crime.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday:
Shoppers at the Safeway in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood will see a noticeable change to the store: It now closes at 9 p.m. due to what one supervisor described as “out of control” shoplifting.
Once open 24 hours a day, the Safeway store on Market and Church streets now has the earliest closing hours of all the Pleasanton-based supermarket chain’s San Francisco storefronts, most of which stay open until midnight.
President Biden and fellow Democrats want to disarm you
For years, whenever a media-genic school shooting has come along (as opposed to the routine carnage of young and old in America's Democrat-run, gun-controlled cities), myriad studies, plus common sense, have suggested simple solutions (limiting school points of entry, armed guards, armed teachers, etc.) and deeper solutions (focusing on families, fathers, and faith). Invariably, Democrats have said "no," indicating that they really don't care about school shootings. They've been waiting for something big to justify overriding the Second Amendment, and, with Uvalde, they think they've got it.
Whenever someone constantly complains about something but refuses to take any steps to remedy the situation, you know that the person already has a plan in mind and does not want other measures to derail that plan. So it is with Democrats and gun control. Indeed, Democrats over the past few years have gone out of their way to increase the risk of gun crimes. In Democrat-run cities, they've defunded and demoralized the police and refused to prosecute violent criminals, including those committing gun crimes. California, after Uvalde, passed a bill that relieves schools of the mandatory duty to report violent threats to law enforcement.
So, given how Democrats purport to hate gun violence, we can guess why they seem to do everything in their power to facilitate gun violence: they want to bring things to a crisis point to justify serious Second Amendment infringements.
Image: Biden demands gun control (and what’s with all those candles?). YouTube screen grab, edited.
We've already seen the Canadians seize on Uvalde to justify attacking handguns and magazines with over five rounds, and now it's Biden's and the Democrats' turn. In the House Judiciary Committee, Mondaire Jones was a standout for the nonsense Democrats spouted with his hysterical rhetoric about destroying the filibuster and the Supreme Court if that's what it takes to end the Second Amendment:
Typically for a recent(ish) Harvard Law grad, Jones has no reverence for the Constitution, which he views as an obstruction to power. (That, incidentally, is why the Founders created the Constitution: to obstruct power.)
But the worst came from Biden himself, who was, as usual, a wellspring of lies, misinformation, and demagoguery. Credit goes to Breitbart for doing an extraordinary job fact-checking the effluvia that flowed from Biden's lips. Here are just a few misstatements, and I recommend visiting Breitbart for more coverage of Biden's speech.
Biden: "Guns are the number one killer of children." False. Children cease to be children when they hit 18 and become legal adults. Sadly, in 2020, 2,281 children from 0 to 17 died from guns (and I'm betting a lot were in Democrat gun-control cities), while 2,503 died in car accidents. Biden (and the dishonest CDC) arrived at their "fact" by including 18- to 19-year-olds (i.e., adults).
Biden: Expanding background checks would limit school shootings. Mostly false. We already have FBI background checks, but Democrats want to have background checks for private sales (neighbor to neighbor, father to son, etc.). But private sellers, who presumably have more knowledge of their customer, already have a legal obligation to reasonably believe that the buyer is not barred from gun ownership. Moreover, according to Breitbart, for the last 15 years, all but three mass shooters got their guns through retailers. Imposing a burden on private sales would have a minimal effect on mass shootings but create a massive burden on individuals.
Biden: Mass shootings tripled after the assault weapons ban ended in 2004. Mostly false, says the WaPo! Biden was relying on a flawed study:
The new mass-shooting database shows that there were 31 mass shootings in the decade before the 1994 law, 31 in the 10 years the law was in force (Sept. 13, 1994 to Sept. 12, 2004) and 47 in the 10 years after it expired. As noted, some of that increase stems from population growth.
Biden: Nothing was done after the Parkland shooting. False. Florida enacted a red-flag law, improved school safety, and even enacted some gun controls.
Here's a fact Biden doesn't want you to know: a CDC study during Obama's presidency showed that Americans use guns defensively from 500,000 to 3 million times per year. That completely dwarfs the ~20,800 gun deaths in 2021, an exceptionally violent year, and a year in which 18.8 million people responded to rising violence by purchasing a weapon.
In the grand scheme of things, school shootings, while utterly heart-wrenching and appalling, represent only the smallest use of guns. And as the worst attack on a school in American history shows — 44 students killed by a bomb in 1927 — evil people don't need guns.
There's so much more to be said. For a deep dive into the principles behind the Second Amendment, the fact that governments are the ones most responsible for gun violence, the misinformation Democrats are spewing about weapons, the lessons from Uvalde, and more, I recommend a post by Wolf Howling, my fellow blogger at Bookworm Room.
And the final word goes to Joe Biden:
