Another day, another grocery store forced to shut down because criminals think they own the place. This time it’s happening in Milwaukee where five Pick and Save stores are closing their doors for good. The reason is simple and infuriating. Thieves are walking in, filling up shopping carts, and strolling right out without paying a dime.
We’re talking about brazen theft here, folks. One shopping cart full of stolen groceries was worth over one thousand dollars. These aren’t desperate people grabbing a loaf of bread. These are criminals who think the law doesn’t apply to them, and sadly, they’re right.
The liberal politicians running these cities have created this mess with their soft-on-crime policies. They’ve made it clear that stealing is basically legal now. When there are no real consequences for theft, guess what happens. More theft.
Now hardworking families in these neighborhoods are paying the price. They have to drive miles away just to buy groceries for their kids. The elderly and people without cars are stuck shopping at overpriced corner stores. This is what happens when you let criminals run wild.
The city of Milwaukee already spent millions of taxpayer dollars trying to keep these stores open. They hired extra security and gave the owners huge subsidies. None of it worked because you can’t fix a crime problem by throwing money at it.
Meanwhile, the store owners were losing money for years trying to serve these communities. They stayed open as long as they could, but no business can survive when customers are stealing everything that isn’t nailed down. These are the same liberals who scream about food deserts while creating the conditions that drive grocery stores away.
This is happening all across America in Democrat-run cities. Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and now Milwaukee. The pattern is always the same. Weak prosecutors, defund the police mentality, and zero accountability for criminals.
The solution is obvious but these liberal politicians refuse to do it. Arrest the thieves, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, and make stealing painful again. Until that happens, more stores will close and more communities will suffer. It’s time to choose between protecting criminals or protecting law-abiding citizens.
