Chicago Mayor Johnson is an advocate of looting. Mass looting. He defends and excuses criminal organized theft as “an outbreak of incredible frustration and anguish” caused by “a failed racist system.” In short, tantrums in the form of mob violence and theft are to be expected. As one overloaded looter shouted to a news crew, "This is reparations!"
Highly organized gangs apparently think it's morally virtuous to steal from large retailers. They are developing extremely sophisticated plans for how to rapidly pillage and plunder major retailers. The best of these plans clean out a retailer in just minutes from invasion to retreat. The stolen goods are then resold online or in the streets, and the total losses are huge and growing, largely because the thieves are praised by virtue-signalers, and ignored by police and judges. Losses to honest businesses? Staggering...and growing.
TARGET reported $763 million in theft loss last fiscal year. They estimate this year's loss to be $1.2 billion. That's only one chain.
Walmart decided to shut 17 of its stores across nine states after CEO Doug McMillon warned in December that theft was the highest it’s ever been around the country and if it did not slow down, stores would have to close.
So far, more than 2,600 businesses have left downtown Portland. An 83-year-old Vietnam veteran felt safer walking the streets of pagan Saigon than he does walking the streets of Christian Portland.

"If you are a reader of European descent, it is almost certain you had a distant genetic ancestor who was killed, raped, or enslaved by Muslims somewhere in Europe. Muslim depredations against a nascent America’s merchant ships in the 1790s became the raison d’être for America’s navy."

Top Putin advisor Sergey Karaganov reminded the West that Russia must, according to Russia's published defense protocols, eliminate pagan Germany and the anti-Christian UK as evil world powers if they continue waging an offensive Ukraine proxy war against independent Russia. Conventional missile warheads would be used first, followed by nuclear, delivered by Oreshnik systems for which the Western nations, including the US, have no defense.
That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.
