STORE LOOTING IN AMERICA IS BLACK!
CRIME IN AMERICA IS BLACK
BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD!
In 2021, retail theft cost the industry $94.5 billion.

Los Angeles Police DepartmentCalifornia bill would ban retail employees from trying to stop thieves
Lawmakers in the erstwhile Golden State of California are hoping to push through controversial legislation that would ban retail staff from attempting to prevent thieves from stealing from their stores. Senate Bill 553, which was submitted by State Senator Dave Cortese, has been passed by the State Senate and will now progress to policy committees in the State Assembly. Cortese claims he hopes the proposed law will prevent workplace violence and protect staff from being injured during robberies.

Note that Senator Cortese is not indicating how much can be shoplifted under his bill. He is addressing another matter on the floor of the California State Senate.
But many retailers, from store managers on down, are furious over the plans. The California Retailers Association characterized the move as “an open invitation for thieves to come in and steal." As if yet another incentive to steal were somehow necessary in a state where theft of up to $950 isn’t even prosecuted. Retailers, small and large, are closing their stores in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland because of asinine policies just like the one proposed by Sen. Cortese.
If SB 553 passes, it would effectively make it a crime…to try to prevent a crime.
Could there be a more perfect illustration of progressive lunacy than that?
Nolte: Democrat-Run Oakland Suffers 100 Robberies in Single Week
In today’s edition of You Get What You Vote For, Democrat-run Oakland has become the Old West, with 100 recorded robberies in a single week.
This is what Democrats want to do to all of America:
Residents of [Democrat-run] Oakland endured 100 robberies during one tumultuous week this month, some of which erupted in gunfire or assaults, the city’s interim [Democrat-appointed] Police Chief Darren Allison said Wednesday.
Fifty of the incidents occurred in one weekend, Allison told reporters in [Democrat] Mayor Sheng Thao’s third-floor conference room, where he joined other [Democrat] leaders in struggling to explain the surge of violence and chaos to the [Democrat-voting] public.
“Our [Democrat-run] city, like many other major [Democrat-run] cities, is facing very challenging times,” Allison said, urging officials to collaborate to address the crime wave. As of Wednesday, robberies had increased 7% over the same period last year. More and more often, the alleged perpetrators are children as young as 12, according to law enforcement.
This could all end within a few months.
Would you like to know how to end this?
It’s not complicated.
Time and again, this method has proven to be foolproof.
All you have to do is…
Put convicted felons in prison.
That’s it.
That’s all there is to it.
Someone is convicted of a felony. You put that person in prison. Crime decreases dramatically.
You put a hundred felons in prison, you’ll stop thousands and thousands of crimes.
If you enforce the law, this will stop. You don’t have to violate anyone’s civil rights. You don’t have to hire Charles Bronson. Time and again, history proves this. Starting in the 1960s, violent crime was an American epidemic until the 1990s. What changed in the 1990s? What reversed that tidal wave of murder, rape, and thievery? Cities like New York began enforcing the law. That’s it. That’s all that happened. Citizens and politicians (even Democrat politicians) supported the police, put violent felons in prison, and the quality of life in urban America improved dramatically.
The solution to violent crime is not a secret. We know how to do it. Democrats simply refuse to do it because they are enacting the Cloward-Piven strategy of creating massive unrest that allows the fascist federal government to take over everything, especially policing.
Democrats do not care how many people die, how many lives are ruined by violence and drugs, or how it turns their cities into burnt-out cesspools of filth and despair. With all their ideas discredited by reality, they are forcing an alternate reality.
The good news is that this alternate reality only punishes the idiots who vote for Democrats, which means none of this is my problem.
I live here, and here, life is safe, clean, tolerant, and oh-so-sweet.
You want to live in filth, failure, and fear? That’s your right as Americans.
Keep voting Democrat, morons.
The rest of you? Stop worrying about Oakland. Oakland isn’t your problem or America’s problem.

Eight things that killed the Democrat Party
By M.B. Mathews
The old Democrat Party is gone. In its place is a radical Libertine Party, full of itself and full of radical sexual, cultural, and economic ideas that have all but killed their chances of ever getting legitimately elected again. The following five things are what I believe has murdered the Democrat Party in its sleep:
1. CRT: Critical Race Theory in all its permutations, regardless of its origins and history, has become the banner of anti-white racism, disguising itself as "anti-racism." Under its banner, white people are told they are worthless, toxic, hateful oppressors. Worse, companies are actually hiring people who promote this toxicity and schools are teaching students to hate white people. Now out in the open, anti-white racism has created a hate-filled atmosphere of constant tension and dissension, where the only thing that matters, first and foremost, is skin color. This can only be laid at the feet of Democrats.
2. TRANS WOMEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS: The gross unfairness of allowing men into women's sports (no, I will not call them "women") is so blatant and outrageous, that proponents are seen not merely as insane, but malevolent. The destruction of women's sports is viewed by all rational people as evil in the name of wokeness.
3. CORRUPTION IN THE FBI: The malicious and ethics-free raid on Mar-a-Lago is viewed even by many Democrats and all Republicans as vicious political intimidation, with the goal of destroying any followers of Donald Trump. This began in earnest during the "Russia collusion" case and saw its culmination in midnight raids of innocent conservatives revealing a hateful, vengeful vigilantism on the part of the radical left. In the hope that supporters of Trump and other conservative candidates would drop out of politics in fear of similar reprisals, these Gestapo tactics have not only solidified Trump's support and the support of even moderately conservative candidates, but have shown the Left to be petty children in a deranged, red-haze temper tantrum.
4. COVID MASK AND VACCINE MANDATES: Certainly a show of power rather than anything prophylactic against COVID, blue states and leftist groups have revealed that they know the masks do not prevent COVID, but instead are a symbol of big-government Stasi tactics designed to subjugate the citizenry in order to prepare them for eventual control.
5. DRAG QUEENS IN THE SCHOOLS: Young children have been indoctrinated into sexual fetishism and perverse sexual behavior at the behest of school administrators and leftist parents who seem to see nothing morally wrong with gay men dressing up as women in highly sexually-suggestive costumery and behavior. Why they are doing this has become clear: They want to break down all parental control over children and indoctrinate them into pedophilia, perversity, and compliance. For most parents, this was a bustier too far.
6. THE ECONOMY: From the start in 2021 when Joe Biden killed the Keystone pipeline and halted all drilling and new permits, the economy began tanking. Gas prices, supply line problems, paying people not to work, profligate spending, and other avoidable problems has hit the average American smack dab in the wallet. No matter how much the Biden administration denies their role in inflation and no matter how many times Joe says the economy is "strong as hell," Americans watch their buying power dwindle. They want relief and it is clear they will not get it from the Democrat Party.
7. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: From day one, the borders were flung open by the Democrat Party to drug traffickers, murderers, and myriad other miscreants in the hope they would be new Democrat votes. As a result, crime is rampant, blue cities under Democrat rule are suffering and homelessness is on the rise, all the while Biden spokespeople are claiming the "border is closed." Squealing like stuck pigs, places like New York City which have reluctantly become home to Texas' illegals, have seen a marked inability to safely house the very illegals they claim to have wanted to live in their "sanctuary city."
8. CRIME: Because of the Democrat rule in blue cities, crime is not being prosecuted in the name of some weird kind of reparations. What the Democrats don't get is that they hurt their own innocent population by allowing criminals a get-out-jail-free card, and by not prosecuting at all. Their racist policies hurt the very people they claim to want to help. Why are they doing this? To deliberately create chaos in the execution of anti-white racism. The one solution to the rising crime rate, the prosecution and incarceration of criminals, is the one thing blue cities under Democrat rule will not do. Mayor Lightfoot makes weird and demonic home videos of herself dancing around in what appears to be a drugged stupor. Rather than be a responsible mayor, she has totally ignored the death-by-violence rate in Chicago. This is another very clear example of Democrats doing what they do best; destroying things.
Only certain Black lives matter to BLM
The very people who wanted to defund the police are now finding themselves defunded.
Why? Technically, the answer would be mismanagement of funds, but in part, it could be said that they weren’t living up to their name. People are starting to see beyond the name and realize that that not all black lives mattered, just the ones who were friends and family with the organization’s management.
In some regards, Black Lives Matter can be considered a grift because an organization that is supposed to reduce police violence against Black people and improve their lives has nothing substantial to show for the scores of millions of dollars donated. Life hasn’t gotten better for Black people, and not because police were shooting innocent Black people.
BLM’s ill-thought-out mission to defund, disband, and criminalize police reduced the number of officers on the street leading to an increase in crime. That crime has affected Blacks more than other racial groups because the places where crime has increased the most are the cities, which are predominantly liberal and Black. So, the very people BLM says it represents are suffering the most from its policies and positions.
Meanwhile, BLM pulled in plenty of cash because everyone wanted to be seen as a supporter. The problem is how the organization has spent that cash. It didn’t go to help Black people affected by violence or even try to find alternative ways to fight crime, which is devastating the Black community. It did go to pay founder Patrisse Cullors’ brother who was paid a total of $1.6 million for security services as the head of the security team at the $6 million Los Angeles mansion bought with charity donations to BLM.
“He is best known as a graffiti artist, with no background in security,” the Daily Mail reported. “Patrisse Cullors defended hiring him, saying registered security firms which hired former police officers could not be trusted, given the movement's opposition to police brutality.”
A sister of a board member was paid $1.1 million for “consulting.”
The organization has also purchased luxury properties in Los Angeles and Toronto totaling $12 million.
It was recently reported that “The group ran an $8.5 million deficit and saw the value of its investment accounts drop by nearly $10 million, with fundraising down 88% year-on-year.” Reports have also appeared that the organization is at risk of going bankrupt.
People can now see that BLM is more interested in themselves rather than Black people. Just a third of the money BLM has received has gone to charity. That means two-thirds has gone to things that won’t benefit the Black community.
In general, BLM has laudable goals, but words without actions are meaningless. BLM’s actions show a much different goal. They are enriching themselves while allowing the community that is supposed to matter to them suffer from rising crime and a reduced police presence.
It’s time to end the farce of BLM and send any future donations directly to neighborhood organizations that are actually working in the Black community and helping the people. That’s the best way to show Black Lives Matter.

Report: Assaults on NYPD Officers Rise 32% as Criminals Feel Emboldened
New York City police officers reportedly endured 32 percent more injuries so far in 2023 than in 2022 as crime plagues their communities.
In an article published Saturday, the New York Post cited New York City Police Department (NYPD) data regarding the issue.
“From Jan. 1 to March 31, citywide, 1,251 on- and off-duty cops were hurt by people using physical force against them, compared to 949 in the first quarter of 2022,” the outlet said.
Of the various injuries officers suffered, 1,179 of them were recorded as minor. However, nearly 50 of them were deemed “substantial” and required the victim to go to a hospital for medical attention.
In addition, 25 were considered “serious” enough for the victim to be admitted into a hospital’s care.
The Post shared images of officers receiving treatment for their injuries:
Assaults on NYPD officers up 32% in 2023 as criminals show little fear —while cops feel ignored by lawmakers https://t.co/8RtvOYTVkY pic.twitter.com/rlV7K8basX
— New York Post (@nypost) June 10, 2023
The outlet’s followers were quick to share their thoughts about the story, one person writing, “WTG, New York! Policing was hard enough already.”
“Recruitment and morale at an all-time low, officers retiring out and leaving at record pace. But you, in your infinite wisdom, decided to push on and place political correctness above the safety of the citizenry. Well done! Now everyone can ‘feel’ good and live in absolute fear when the whole thing collapses on itself,” the user stated.
Indeed, the city’s police officers are reportedly resigning at a record-breaking pace as crime plagues the nation.
“This is a result of democrat pro criminal stance,” another commented.
In April, a suspect approached an NYPD officer from behind and allegedly hit her over the head with a bottle, according to a report.
Also, an NYPD officer was hurt when a driver fled a traffic stop several times, ABC 7 reported on April 19:
An NYPD Transit Bureau officer told the Post he, too, was hurt recently and did not express shock at the data.
According to him, leadership wants officers to make more arrests, but the suspects do not have much fear about potentially going to jail.
He said lawmakers do not offer police any support, adding, “We could be standing at the train station and they’ll jump over the turnstile right in front of us. This is the atmosphere that was created [by lawmakers].”
When retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct Professor Joseph Giacalone heard about the rising officer assault incidents, he pointed to bail reform and said the criminals involved feel emboldened in those situations.
“They know they’re not going to Rikers. They know they’re not going to face any real-time. So they just keep churning them out and the cops have to deal with it,” he said during an interview with the Post.
FLASHBACK: Protesters Attack and Bloody NYPD Officers in Broad Daylight
Illinois To Grant $300k to Black Lives Matter Chapter Led by Convicted Felon
An Illinois Black Lives Matter chapter led by a convicted felon is set to receive $300,000 in taxpayer funds thanks to Democratic governor J.B. Pritzker.
Pritzker signed into law a $50.4 billion state budget bill on Wednesday that includes a $300,000 grant to Black Lives Matter Lake County, a charity led by black activist Clyde McLemore. A prominent figure in the Chicago metropolitan area with ties to Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, McLemore has a lengthy criminal rap sheet that includes convictions for felony aggravated battery. He currently faces a felony bail-jumping charge in Wisconsin stemming from a prior case in which he was charged with kicking down a door and threatening a police officer during the Kenosha riots in August 2020.
Republican members of the Illinois State Assembly railed against Pritzker for choosing not to block the grant with a line-item veto.
"No taxpayer dollars should ever go to Black Lives Matter. They’re clearly a Marxist organization," said Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour, the vice chairman of the Illinois Freedom Caucus. Pritzker "could absolutely have gone in there with a line-item veto. Apparently, he sees value in giving $300,000 to Black Lives Matter."
Illinois is set to enrich McLemore’s Black Lives Matter chapter as other groups in the movement flounder amid allegations of financial malfeasance. The national Black Lives Matter group filed tax returns in May showing it had doled out millions in lucrative contracts to friends and family of the movement’s co-founder Patrisse Cullors during its 2022 tax year. The year before, Black Lives Matter spent $12 million on luxury homes in Los Angeles and Toronto.
Wilhour lamented that Pritzker chose to fund the Black Lives Matter chapter while other state programs with a proven record of helping minorities are set to expire. For example, the Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship Program, which has awarded 40,000 scholarships to help minority children in Illinois attend private schools, is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2023.
"What program is helping minorities more?" Wilhour asked. "Is it these opportunity scholarships? Or is it these criminal scumbags and Black Lives Matter?"
McLemore said during a podcast Wednesday he founded Black Lives Matter Lake County in 2015 after meeting with Cullors, who he said was mostly preoccupied with issues related to "black transvestites and gay people and gay rights and stuff." McLemore said he hasn’t talked with Cullors since 2015, and he said his autonomous chapter never received any funds from the national Black Lives Matter group.
The activist stressed during a Thursday interview with the Washington Free Beacon that the $300,000 taxpayer grant his chapter is set to receive will go towards a host of programs it already runs in his community, including a narcotics anonymous program, a youth risk intervention program and a civil empowerment program to teach people about laws.
"This money does not come to Clyde McLemore," he said. "Matter of fact, I’m still driving a 2008 Camry. If I got $300,000, don’t you think I would have bought me a brand-new car?"
But this isn’t the first time Pritzker has tried to enrich McLemore’s Black Lives Matter chapter. The Democratic governor appropriated $300,000 in federal coronavirus relief funds to the group in the state’s fiscal year 2022 budget, but records show Illinois never cut them a check.
McLemore said the grant was canceled because of a February 2022 article in the Lake County Gazette that highlighted his lengthy criminal history.
"They was going to authorize it, and what happened was two Republicans came out with a newspaper and they stopped the grant," McLemore said.
Lake County, Illinois, court records show McLemore has been charged in over 100 traffic, misdemeanor, and felony cases since the mid-1990s. His rap sheet includes convictions of felony and misdemeanor battery.
"So, yeah I had some arguments with my baby mama," McLemore told the Free Beacon. "As you know in Illinois, first one call the police, the other get arrested. I got arrested 20 years ago. She’s been dead over 20 years. She died of a drug overdose."
McLemore was charged in February 2021 with felony battery against a law enforcement officer stemming from his involvement in the riots in Kenosha the year prior. Prior to being charged, McLemore had posted photos and videos on Facebook showing him kicking a door at the Kenosha Public Safety Building during the riots. He wrote that he "was mad enough to try to break the officer’s fingers."
A jury found McLemore not guilty of the charge in December, but found him guilty on a lesser misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. Just a few days later he found himself back in court on a charge of felony bail jumping for allegedly failing to show up to court for another case.
McLemore told the Free Beacon he’s never missed a court date and claimed his attorney told him the bail jumping charge will soon be dropped.
Pritzker’s office did not return a request for comment.
