Walgreens is closing a store in a lower income neighborhood of Boston due to rampant theft and the people who live there are outraged. They’re actually protesting the store over news of the closure.
This is a familiar chain of events in liberal cities. The Democrats who run the city allow theft and don’t punish criminals. Then the store decides to close and suddenly everyone is angry at the store instead of the people who actually caused the problem.
This is going to happen in more and more cities until Democrats decide they want to punish crime.

Are they outraged at those who are doing the shoplifting?

This country has gone totally bonkers. ''It's 5 blocks to the next store to steal from! That ain't fair!''

FTA..."Customer Lucille Culpepper-Jones, who is calling for the store to remain open, said she cannot visit the next-nearest Walgreens because she would not feel safe making that walk alone, according to The Boston Globe."
Why? Are there thieves and robbers around?

This is quintessential Boston behavior. No wonder they routinely elect Democrats.

Watch out Boston's dopey mayor may hold a press conference to call the Walgreens owners racist for closing up shop.

The remedy is here: those who want the store should band together and pool money and BUY the store. They can run it at a loss and see how things work.

While they are all sitting in church Sunday morning, they can all pray that the thieves who caused the closure would be caught and prosecuted. They won't because most people in those pews know exactly who the thieves are and are likely recipients of some of the stolen merchandise. These people feel entitled to the merchandise in the store. Yeats of government handouts has bred this into them.

Closed our Walmart store due to stealing all the profits out of it. Now we have to drive about 3 times as far to get groceries.

Just one store closing? CVS is closing hundreds of stores across the country. At some point they got tired of the rampant shoplifting.

Maybe, just maybe, the adult residents here can take back their 'hoods by working with local police. I realize some of these neighborhoods are simply too far gone to try, and the "Detroit Effect" will settle down on them soon enough.

And read your Scripture... in the Old Testament parents had the God-given right to turn their recalcitrant child over to authorities for execution by stoning. We don't know how many were "off'd" this way, but it does put teeth into a "3-time loser" law concept being applicable, regardless of age.

A lot of Walgreens stores have a pretty good booze section too. A pharmacy with booze. America is great.
But I guess these hood rats didnt think of that when they forced it to close.

I would be angry too if I had to travel out of my community to steal from another pharmacy.

It's obvious to me that this isTrump's fault!
Look on the bright side. An empty building could be a useful place to store more illegal aliens once the schools run out of gymnasium space. Southies have shown themselves to be reasonible, tolerant people in the past. Haven't they?
Sorry, not sorry for pointing out the truth

Not surprising. Too many thieves and a store can't survive. Criminal places won't have stores. Not the fault of anyone but the thieves who live there and the folks that support them.

My local Home Depot has most all the power tools behind heavy plexiglass. You have to find a store clerk to unlock it and then the clerk escorts you to the check out. It's store policy. I'm not mad at Home Depot, I'm mad at the people whose behavior makes the store lock things up.

They're angry about Walgreens closing and not that they're closing because of the high crime. These folks have lost all sense of reality.

#s 5-6 ... But did Lucille really listen to her own words? She stated the root of the problem but understanding that she did is apparently beyond her capacity to think either critically or logically.

They should demand that Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats set up government run “Socialist” drug stores in those “community” neighborhoods where stealing for reparation purposes will be considered a constitutional right.

Democrats equals the brainless. Too bad, find another place. The store can't supply you people forever and you are never, ever going to pay anyway, are you?
