Video Shows Group Of About 60 Teens Vandalizing, Looting Walgreens

Things like this grow and the real danger here is for everyone else in the neighborhood losing the stores they need.

It happened in Atlantic City when I worked there after I retired. On the entire island of atlantic city there was no grocery stores. The 2 they had closed up because they could not control the stealing and the abuse of their employees.

It was a HUGE burden to all the residents that were seniors or didnt drive, you had to take a taxi off the island to buy groceries and lug them back.

And then the Rodents whine about "corporate greed", "food deserts" and "racism", as if it wasn't the natives themselves that forced the businesses to flee.

In Syracuse in the 70s the was on Salina Street running south from downtown, a two mile stretch through the black ghetto with no grocery store, then another mile where the shading started to civilize, with a store on the corner of Brighton, then another two miles to the A&P, then three more miles to the Green Hills in Nedrow.

That was it.

Then the A&P closed because the south side of the city was turning to $#@!.

Then the owner of the furthest north grocery fire bombed the store on Brighton...I kid you not..to secure a regional monopoly.

My parents were driving all the way out to DeWitt to buy groceries, since there was more competition in tgat area and the prices were better.

A few years ago, there was a news story about a proposed big box store in a certain neighborhood - I seem to recall it was in or near D.C. - and a local politician, Black, opposed it on the grounds that, she said, the people in her community would (paraphrasing, but close) not be able to resist the temptation to steal from it.

When that happens it hurts the people that arent criminals. In Atlantic city those supermarkets closing caused alot of grief for alot of people and it took years to finally get a supermarket to agree to come back in.

And when (or if) they ever do, and they institute those security protocols necessary to guard against theft, they will be accused of racism for doing so.

A bunch of thugs. I would close down that store the next day. I am sure that group of animals is probably pissed that a "drug store" is taking up a good corner.

Very unfortunate

Very unfortunate

It's unfortunate because it reinforces bad impressions and stereotypes.

Stereotype????

In three days. Two Walgreens was trashed and looted. A clothing store was looted. A family had a bloody brawl in Disneyland and a girl was licking ice cream and putting it back.

All black.

That's not a stereotype. It's a fact.
