Ask, and ye shall receive

D.C.’s Mayor Bowser had this message painted in front of the White House

A group of roughly 45 kids routinely ransack a CVS in Washington, D.C., with many thieves taking the food and beverages and stomping on them, according to a Fox 5 report.

“When you walk into this CVS, you’d think the store is closing because there’s barely anything on the shelves,” Fox 5 reporter Sierra Fox said of a CVS in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of D.C. “In fact, the only items in stock are the ones that are locked up. I did ask an employee what gets stolen the most, and they just laughed and said ‘everything.’”

“A big group of kids, like 45 or more, walk in before school, after school and late at night to steal chips and drinks,” Fox 5 reported Tuesday. “They even throw the food and beverages on the ground and stomp on them, leaving behind a big mess.”

“Staff at CVS have been alerted that thieves are aware of when new shipments come in and that’s when they target the store,” the outlet added.

Fox 5 was told that “street vendors are allegedly paying people to go in and steal stuff so they can resell it.”

To buy bread with, no doubt. When this store closes, look for AOC and her mob to start yelling that “greedy corporations” have abandoned the people of the slums and left them without easy access to needed prescriptions and medical equipment, just as the departure of grocery stores has, it’s claimed, created “food deserts”.

This is exactly what they’ve voted for for decades, and they’ll vote for more of it next year. I’m unsympathetic.
