A reader witnessed a little crime in Jackson this past weekend.
In Walgreens at corner Pear Orchard and County Line Rd, 39211, Saturday 6:45pm (15 minutes ago):
I just witnessed a 32 year old black man, 6’-2”, athletic build, casually talking on his cell phone, carry a bag full of shoplifted items out the door. Two employees witnessed also. One told me it’s store policy to let them go because “that’s what we have insurance for and a lawyer costs more than what they steal”.
I said: “You don’t need a lawyer, that’s what a prosecutor is for, you ask the police to review store video, find and arrest him, then cop goes to court to testify against him.”She replied: "Nope, doesn’t work that way."Of course the cost of that insurance is added to items we pay for there and the man is a danger to society.
No surprise. The deputies at Kroger caught thieves walking out the door, sometimes with full buggies of pilfered groceries. Kroger has a catch & release program so no one ever got arrested unless they did something stupid. The deputies said many cops hated Walmart because the Walmart store would arrest the shoplifters only to never show up in court, thus letting the thief go free.

Really? How'd your correspondent know he was 32 years old? Call me skeptical.
Another reason to shop Amazon
That shit don't happen in Madison. Keep focusing on the spin Brad instead of why your tax base, black AND white, is jamming the exits out of town.
Slow news day KF?
WTF? I bet that wasn't in Madison MS
Thanks. I now know where to put my sticky fingers to work. Note that this Walgreen is in Jackistan, not Ridgeland.
Its called wealth re-distribution a/k/a equity.
it was an equity event.
Abiding by laws is only for conservatives who pay taxes.
Get back to work to pay for his free phone he's using. As well as his SSI for addiction, his stim checks, his Section 8 rental, his healthcare, and his children he fathered. Stop whining.
54% of Americans paid ZERO FIT last year. The 1% paid less effective rates than middle class Americans.
He's "entitled" due to systemic racism.
And the Kroger and Walgreens Board of Directors are too busy with Diversity, EQUITY, and "Inclusion" to bother with the stupid middle class who shop there and pay the taxes.
"Welcome to Walgreens!!!" Sorry that we're short staffed, but the "associates" are watching the "Inclusion" videos we force them to watch and changing the signs on the bathrooms.
These fools walk out the store with baskets full of shoplifted items and let go, but when a hard working middle class citizen steals a pack of batteries(remember 20+ years ago MBN Director stole from Kmart on hwy 80) they make headlines and go to jail! He is just one of examples I could think of!
You know, I’m so tired of this weak criminal justice system it’s sickening.
Is this real? How does she know his age if no one stopped him?
Go back to watching HBO, Kingfish. You wont allow any meaningful discussion anyways, so what is the fucking point of posting this? The ferals are out of control. There used to be a social order that kept the ferals in check. But your beloved jews came down to Mississippi and destroyed that order. Now we live in chaos, and jews thrive in chaos.
Of course on the Jackson side of County Line Road.
Let 'em walk....blessings can only be given on that side of the road.
This is becoming a pathetic joke everywhere. Too much estrogen flowing around the place. I still say, summary executions.
I have sadly reached the point of acceptance.
We cannot correct this course when the majority of voters were raised by welfare queens or wealthy parents that failed to instill one ounce of decency into the woke entitled brats they created.
This is just how it is now.
Don't think that Corporate Walgreens doesn't measure these losses. They've closed 16-17 stores in San Francisco and numerous others around the country due to shoplifting and crime. I'd be willing to bet the correlation between store closures and localities run by Democrats is off the chart.
Of course, Jackson's continued demise doesn't matter to Mayor Gumflapper.
But Democratic Congresswoman AOC said "take what you need"!
12:15 : That's right, she did indeed give permission.
KF, I am surprised and disappointed you let the comment at 10:47 through.
Are yall telling me that Kroger and Walgreens in Madison County follow a different corporate policy than the stores in Jackson?
I let it in to show what kind of idiots try to comment on this site. When they gripe about how I censor, this is what I'm censoring.
It's laughable that y'all think white shoplifters are arrested or that your "burbs" prosecute.
I know more that a few prominent women (kleptomaniacs) and a few who randomly enjoyed theft. who were caught decades ago. The police weren't called...their parents or spouses were. and know that most businesses just stop them before they get 3 feet pass the exit. It is a waste of personnel and time to prosecute unless the value is felony level. But, even then, if they've a family member who is a good customer and can pay for the item, nothing happens other than a phone call.
Holy crap, anti-Semitic trolls?
I guess nothing should shock me anymore.
Thanks for letting us watch the losers embarrass themselves.

You joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if His Progressiveness tries to spin it that way.
@2:01 PM - the difference in Madison is that our LEOs respond and arrest these fucking thieves, and then the DA prosecutes them, without any judicial blessings in between.
This reminds me of something I read in Northside Sun this past weekend. Retail recruiters are looking for businesses to populate the Ridgewood Court.[1] And earlier this year my wife and I were in Marshall's and she overheard one of the employees complain about the shoplifters and that confronting them some of them have pulled knives on them. Rumor was they were supposed to move to the old Steinmart in Madison sometime between April and May. Any word on that, KF?

Walgreens policy is to contact police and prosecute if/when caught.
The defacto unauthorized actions of employees in localities like Jackson may take into account that calling the police is a waste of time considering the dispatch reliability of the agency and the gross incompetence of the corresponding justice system.
2:18 : I don't know about all that. Not to say they ain't trying.
Madison's annual budget spends more per capita on public safety for a reason. Results and benefits for the citizenry are clearly apparent.
Way back in the old days 1982 I was a Regional Divisional Manager for Belk Stores. We had a large mall operation in the capital of SC. The store had 4 large entrances 3 of which had access from your car, easy pull up and go. On one side we had a shop lifting problem. A quick snatch and grab. We tried everything from alternating the hangers (R/L), use plexiglass tall displays that required a complete walk around. Nothing worked. So after careful consideration of cost of employees, security, liability, insurance/benefits for said employees & security a final decision was reached.
It was cheaper to let them steal it. Nothing new here, its just out there for people to see today and it was just as ugly then as it is now. Complete surrender to the bad guys.

I observed above incident.
The shoplifter walked fairly fast out the door thence around the Northwest corner of the building, the manager of the store watched and shrugged his shoulders.
Maybe there was someone in a car waiting?
Let's draft Aaron Banks for Mayor, change Jackson.

@May 16, 2022 at 2:12 PM, how is it the loser at 10:47 embarrassed himself? I ask without sarcasm or irony, so please don't answer any "Well, if you don't know, no one can ever explain it to you." Thank you in advance.
The Walgreens you are referencing has 2 shopping carts. The rest have been stolen. And this is on County Line road & Pear Orchard in extreme north Jackson.
Many chain stores pay their vendors on "scan data"....if an item doesn't get scanned, the store doesn't have to pay for it. The vendor takes this risk. A certain national convenience store chain has that deal with his sunglasses vendor. Even wonder how much they lose on the $12-$18 sunglasses on a big rack in the floor....yep..they don't care...
I worked for Kroger in Madison. We were trained NOT to confront the shoplifter. We were to tell the assistant store manager who would go upstairs and doomscroll on their phones. Customers pay extra to make up for the shoplifters.
Customers pay extra to make up for the shoplifters.
It’s really a small price to pay for equality and reconciliation.
