The Democrats have a problem.
.
A significant part of their voting base are congenital criminals. Some of them are violent criminals, others are 'non-violent' criminals -- the ones we're not supposed to imprison, according to liberals who complain about 'mass incarceration'.
.
Since the George Floyd riots, some of these criminals have discovered that they can organize a group, descend upon a posh sporting goods or similar shop in a white area, loot the place, and drive off. If they get caught, provided they've not stolen anything with a total value of more than $1000, they're not charged with a felony, assuming they're charged at all, and are releaed without bail.
.
The sweet white liberals with "Black Lives Matter" signs on their front lawns (ie "Please don't burgle or invade my home!") are a bit upset about this, especially if they're inside one of the stores when it's looted.
.
So they've been reacting a bit -- acting almost as if they had some common sense. They voted to recall the son-of-Weathermen DA in San Francisco, one of the areas most affected by the organized mass looting phenomenon.
.
But ... the growth of "petty" crime in these liberal-run areas has continued.
.
Now ... capitalism is amoral. The capitalist just wants to make a profit. And while he may virtue-signal frantically to satisfy his 'woke' employees and customers, at the end of the day ... he has to make a profit. Which is hard to do if shoplifters outnumber the customers and his security guards are afraid to deal with them.
.
So ... Walmart has decided to pull out of Portland. They cite "many factors" of course -- yeah, sure, the weather up in the rainy Northwest leaves something to be desired -- but everyone knows it's the deterioration of law and order in that liberal-run city which is the cause.
