Lawless black mobs were lavishly rewarded for demanding that we pretend career criminal George Floyd was murdered by police rather than dying of a fentanyl overdose. Reward behavior and you get more of it:
Philadelphia suffered its second night in a row of mass looting incidents and destructive social media-fueled mayhem on Wednesday…
Needy social justice warriors…
…ransacked more than a dozen state-run liquor stores so thoroughly that the state announced it was closing its Philly locations until further notice.
The pretext:
The flash mob-style looting spree started just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at dozens of stores, including Foot Locker, Lululemon and an Apple store, just hours after a judge ruled to dismiss a murder charge against a White Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed Black resident Eddie Irizarry.
Don’t call it looting. That would be racially insensitive. Call it “reparations,” like they do in Chicago:
“If somebody decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike… that’s reparations”

As public order collapses, stores are becoming infeasible. The leftists running Target reap the consequences of their own ideology:
On Tuesday the big box retailer announced plans to close nine stores, effective Oct. 21.
“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the company said in a statement.
Can you guess where the stores are? That’s right, ultraliberal cities:
The stores set to close include one in Harlem, N.Y; two in Seattle, Wash.; three near San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.; and three in Portland, Ore.
Target loves liberalism but has no choice:
Target expects to lose roughly $1.2 billion in profits from retail theft in 2022 and 2023.
No worries. The same Democratic politicians who encourage rioting will replace Target with government stores. The nice thing about communism is that you don’t have to worry about theft, since there is nothing on the shelves to steal.
Here’s how Americans look from overseas, now that we have succumbed to moonbattery:
The police could put an end to this with a single machine gun. But we don’t have the will to defend civilization from savages. So we are losing it.
On tips from Lyle, Wiggins, KirklesWorth, seaoh, and Ed McAninch.
