Target cuts store hours in San Francisco to quell shoplifting: may cut number of products for same reason

Midnight Special Sale

Target is just one of many stores in San Francisco that is being hit hard with shoplifting as the city is inundated with crime. In order to force shoplifters to "get on with it" more quickly and not waste the best part of their day hanging out, they will now be forced to shoplift in a smaller window of time, that is, up to 6 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. This should eliminate those shoplifters whose mom's don't allow them to go out when it's dark.

You might remember last month when a young shoplifter took his bike into a Walmart's store, began loading up a sturdy garbage bag with merchandise, and peddled out of the store while the guard watched him shoplift and then made a perfunctory grab at the garbage bag as the kid rode out. It seemed to happen during the daytime, before 6 p.m., so it's unclear how Target got this brainstorm of an idea.

The situation in San Francisco is so horrible, in fact, that Target shuttered their doors of one city location just days ago, SFGate noted.

Perhaps another solution would be to drastically cut the selection and category of merchandise Target sells. If, let's say, they only sell toilet paper, shoplifters would not be able to load up on very much of the product as it is relatively bulky, and additionally, this would virtually eliminate shoplifting by Middle East and Asian miscreants.

But as a last resort, large retailers could hire real security guards who would actually be more than uniformed decoration. And when it comes to policing, it might be a good idea to actually arrest criminals and prosecute them, regardless of race or ethnicity. After all, isn't everyone supposed to be equal under the law?

GOP congressional candidate hoping to unseat Ilhan Omar allegedly gets caught shoplifting

If only she could have waited to be elected as a congresswoman running against Ilhan Omar before taking what didn't belong to her, like most political hacks do. Instead, a Minnesota congressional candidate hopeful to unseat the anti-Semitic Omar now Republican Danielle Stella ["Hey, Stella!"] faces felony shoplifting charges, according to a report.

Stella, a 31-year-old light-fingered supporter of President Trump, was arrested twice already this year, in the thefts of 279 items valued over $2,300 from a Target and $40 worth of goods from a grocery store, The Guardian reported. A grocery store sounds like it's privately owned--how terrible to steal from anyone, much less an independent merchant.

“I am not guilty of these crimes. In this country I am innocent until proven guilty and that is the law,” the special-education teacher told the news outlet.

But 279 items? Even if she didn't steal all 279 items, it seems very possible she may have stolen at least one. Allegedly. And a grocery store?

“If I was guilty of crimes, I would never run for public office, putting myself in the public eye under a microscope to be attacked by all political sides,” she added. This makes no sense as politicians are notorious for using money that doesn't belong to them for things they want.

This week Stella described Minneapolis as “the crime capital of our country.” And she should know.

Stella told the cops that she “remembers arriving at Target to purchase items but nothing else” due to post-traumatic stress disorder, and that “normally she goes to Target with someone because of anxiety around people,” according to a criminal complaint cited by The Guardian. 

Great--Stella has Social Anxiety Disorder and she wants to run for PUBLIC office.

Please don't do the Republican Party any favors. There are clearly better candidates out there and it should be relatively easy to beat the crazy Jew-hater, Ilhan Omar.

But after all is said and done, this is all going to end up being Trump's fault.
