The Safeway Food Store in the Filmore District of San Francisco has been beset with shoplifters and other criminal activity for years. The company finally decided in December that it had enough and was closing the doors of the store for good.
George Gibbs, a long-time shopper at the store, acknowledges the problems. "I've seen people running out the door with stuff and running across the parking lot," he said. "I've seen folks walk out in handcuffs for stealing something."
Black Lives Matter activists are now demanding that the store stay open or that another low-cost food store take its place.

Black Lives Monetization should set up a civilian force to ensure law and order. Of course, they would only use such a force to enforce their own dominance over the area, which would be worse than random crime. Too bad they're thieves instead of social builders.

A ridiculous demand from a despicable organization. With all the ill-gotten money BLM has amassed, perhaps the activists should use that capital to open and manage the replacement store. That would be good for laughs.

Why does this seem to only happen in neighborhoods that Black Lies Matter has a interest in???

Its unconscionable - - that a store would not allow the community members it's supposed to serve to come in a take whatever they want.
What kind of social conscience is that? "Come and get it" should be the mandatory social justice policy.

They should offer to sell the facility to BLM and let them try

The Safeway is serving as a not-for-profit food pantry now. Have the mansion-buying BLM higher-ups buy the facility from Safeway and operate their own food bank from it.

Safeway should walk away. If BLM wants it open buy food and stock the store. They have plenty of money. Fund it if you care so much.

Demand that the store stay open? How in Hades is that going to fly? What is BLM going to do if Safeway closes? Burn down the building? That’ll fix it. Let that be a warning to any other store that might set up in BLM neighborhoods.

Seems that every store in the area is a "low-cost" store when everyone gets a 5 finger discount.
I suggest they lock the doors, bar the windows and let them order on-line and come by for pick-up.

With all of that ACTBlue money, BLM should open their own grocery. I gotta name for it: "Come & Take It Food Mart." You got your reparations at Walmart. Now go see how long "Come and Take It Food Mart" lasts. Fool, they've already stolen your shopping carts...

The solution is simple. BLM can buy and run the store. Then the locals can rob themselves.

OK. Safeway will stay open, but they can shoot the thieves.

Thanks for the link #10.
Can’t help but think of karma being a female dog.
I work at a Walmart in Arizona and we have to lock up many things, baby formula being among them.

Demand away, fools, but unless you can stop your 'bros' from being thieves (not a chance) or come up with the $7K per day, forget it.
It's a business, not welfare. If your group wasn't such crooks you could have a more normal place, but criminals wreck everything, and one small subgroup does something like 70% of all violent crime. Guess who?

Are the Black Lives Matter people still in charge of running the country? Some are more privileged than others.

With all the money BLM's stolen, they could have their own store. Maybe sell a mansion or 2 if you really care.
So easy playing with other people's money.

They can "demand" all they want. Their demands are increasingly falling on deaf ears, especially the one whose initials are DJT. It's absolutely mind-boggling how the BLM and their other allies think. Years of being told that they are oppressed, want favorable hiring for jobs they are unqualified for, welfare for them and their illegitimate children, plus putting in jail a cop who had a drugged out black criminal die on him. Now they want reparations. They should be paying us taxpayers reparations instead.

How about BLM pay Safeway $700,000 per day as restitution...

BLM is free to open it's own grocery store and allow all the profits to be stolen by black brothers and sisters.

Go take up a collection among your ex-BLM leaders who took the money and ran, and start up your own grocery store. When you get robbed blind and manage to stay open, then we will talk.

Black people are smart enough to know why the market is closing, but there's more to be gained by BLM making the store owner a KKK member. Some locals KNOW who's doing this but they won't betray a Brother.
