Walmart is tired of BLUE city crime

[OKRuss]

Just like those idiots who rioted and burned down the only grocery store within like 10 miles and nobody in their hood had a car! SMH.

At one time Portland, OR was a fun and beautiful city with an interesting history. Glad I lived there during the good years.

All retail stores in these crime ridden areas should close. The people should be barred from moving into other areas and destroying them as well. All the woke people talk about food deserts and how the poor folk need stores close by. Screw that, they had stores close by and demonstrated they do nothing but steal and burn them down. It’s time to stop the BS and protect the law abiding citizens, those who want to steal and burn can starve as far as I’m concerned.

Many of the local businesses have already closed. On top of crime they have to deal with high rents and an oppressive business environment. In Seattle my wife's business required her professional licence, a city business licence, a county business license, a state business licence, sales taxes paid to all of the above and a "Business and Occupation" tax pain on Gross receipts. Plus getting shut down by covid.

I'm going to guess that on top of the chit hole it is, it's just the first. Its said Wally is closing stores in 5 other states. Gang green , how long can the rest of the body hang on ?

I think the article mentions a couple other stores are only a few miles away from the ones that are closing. So what's to keep the thieves from just going to the open ones? Seems like they just moved the goalpost instead of removing it.

If they're outside Portland, they're probably in jurisdictions which will prosecute petty crimes; Oregon is a pretty red state once you get outside the Portland area. That actually works out better for them--they'll still get the money from Portlandistas without having to tolerate the incentivized theft.

You would be amazed at the amount of inner city people that don’t actually have means to travel outside of public transportation. A few miles in the right direction could be a different world
