Major retailers like Walmart in the US have been forced to shut down stores due to millions of dollars in losses as rampant theft plagues big box stores across the country.
Maybe these two things have nothing to do with each other, maybe it’s just wild coincidence, but check this out. Since 2020, looting, theft and shoplifting has grown exponentially in cities run by Democrats like San Francisco, Chicago, Portland, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Most of which are bold and brazen acts committed in broad daylight. On the other side of the coin, you have George Soros spending millions to install progressive, soft-on-crime district attorneys in all these cites and many more across America. Is that a coincidence, or a plan? Hmm.

Crime is up, prosecutions are down, and the thieves and looters know there will be little to no repercussion for their criminal behavior because people like George Soros are spending big to destroy this country. Not only is crime surging, but homelessness is on the rise with tent cities popping up in nearly every city run by Democrats. What is the Biden administration doing about it? Sending $200 billion to Ukraine with a promise that the money train will never stop. America as you know it is being systematically dismantled, and it seems that there isn’t a Republican or Democrat in sight that can put a stop to it. This is what’s left of America in 2023, not much.
As Walmart shuts down four stores in crime-ridden Dem-led Chicago, here’s the list of all the big box shops – from Macy’s to Target – which have closed due to millions in losses from rampant theft
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: This week, Walmart announced it will shut down four of its stores in Chicago just weeks after America’s biggest employer shuttered its only stores in Portland. It comes as shoplifting reaches alarming levels and other large retailers, including Target, Macy’s and Best Buy, are now making good on threats to shutter outlets if petty crime was not lowered.
In 2021, retailers lost a combined $94.5 billion to shrink, a term used to describe theft and other types of inventory loss. And organized retail crime incidents soared by 26.5 per cent in the same year, according to the 2022 National Retail Security Survey.
Along with brazen daylight thefts, self-checkouts have also made it easier for people to walk out without paying for items.
Progressive district attorneys in cities like Chicago, New York, Portland and California have also been blamed for effectively legalizing shoplifting with either not prosecuting thefts under $950, or letting criminals off with a slap on the wrist.
