Fucking hell

Might have been the same marines that were hitting on underage girls and got the shit beat out of them for it on Ocean Beach. Naturally the pedophile marines getting beat up by black and brown kids became a cause in the derp-o-sphere.
Yeah, that was more or less all it took. Iâd feel worse about if it happened to someone else. And I donât even hate Maher as much most here.
That was one of the more hilarious cancellations of the insane post-9/11 period. The requirement that everyone had to sing from the same hymn sheet was so intense that you werenât even allowed to make the obvious observation that people sacrificing their lives for a cause, whatever else they are, canât really be âcowardlyâ.
âBraveryâ, conversely, was of course defined as sending a bunch of minimum-wage teenagers to the Middle East and watching them get blown up by IEDs on CNN.

I remember that unfolding in real time thinking, âWait, thatâs a hot take?â. Apparently it was nuclear.
0 CVSs will close their doors because of shoplifting. If they are closing stores in any specofoc neighborhood its because they no longer see a need (people spending money) to serve that neighborhood.

You donât think there could ever be a tipping point where people are just walking in with blow torches and cleaning out the shelves that CVS decides to throw in the towel?
Shrink is baked into the budget in any retail operation. I would assume CVS or any other retailer would invest in security guards and other deterrants in locations with higher amounts of theft. But sure, in the hellscape you describe where too many people are coming in with blowtorches, yeah, a company may decide itâs better to close up shop. As someone else said, no employee should ever place themselves in harmâs way to protect company assets and most companies have policies expressly forbidding it because of liability issues.
At least this was only âabstractâ cancelationâŚin France, after the Paris attacks in 2016, someone actually got a prison sentence for the exact same offense (acknowledging that terrorists willing to die for their cause are âcourageousâ in an interview).
(The guy was a former 80s left-wing terrorist, who just got out of prison, this probably didnât help his caseâŚ). That was pretty outrageous (he lost all his appeals in France but the sentence was recently overturned by a European court).
Iâm responding to something Marksmann saw on video. Iâm not making it up.
Iâm not arguing that the employee should have done something. I am arguing that a policy of refusing to prosecute anyone for shoplifting could eventually lead to an unsustainable situation, which will only hurt the working class people who live in the neighborhood. This stuff doesnât happen in Marin County. If it did something would have been done to put a stop to it a long time ago.
After 9/11 Bushâs approval rating shot to something like 90%. Americans watching planes fly into the WTC on a constant loop for months were worked up into a frenzy. The only acceptable take was that the TERRORISTS were evil cowards and we were gonna go over there and WIN.
heâs always been bad, 100% bog standard establishment tool advocating for the status quo on everything except weed. that was enough to fool a lot of people for a long time.
ah yes the CVS shoplifting hand-wringers. Suzzerâs transformation into a boomer is nearly complete.

I just didnt think he would be open throating literal pedophilia. But I guess that apple never falls far from the liberitarian tree
Ya know, didnt take me long but im starting to think he was probably one of those morons who supported Mary Kay Latourneau and said shit like âIf MY teacher wanted to fuck me when I was 12, I would have been the happiest boy aliveâ or something else equally stupid.
It waa just very jarring to hear him say ,âIf youre sixteen and David Bowie wants to fuck you, thats way better than having your first time be with someone your own age.â
Like, fucking ew.
I expected Maher to get #metooâd. Have heard whispers about him for a long time and he was a Playboy mansion guy.
Ok but that was one guy. So are you asking if one blowtorch shoplifting incident is enough for CVS to throw in the towel?
Also, I wasnât aware they had a policy in place not to prosecute shoplifters.
Hes talking about California. They made shoplifting of less than $900 a misdemeanor instead of a felony. They still attempt to prosecute if its over that amount or if they catch the person.
