this is actually legal, don't let anyone tell you it isn't

Looks like the Walgreens at Gough and Fell.

This basically happened every week when I worked at CVS, minus the bike. My manager had me call the cops once and they basically mocked me while they took my statement. This was long before black lives mattered.

Hey let's look at Walgreen's wikipedia article!

In 2013 United States Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said Walgreens committed "an unprecedented number" of recordkeeping and dispensing violations. Walgreens was fined $80 million, the largest fine in the history of the Controlled Substances Act at that time. (re: oxycodone)

In January 2019, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. agreed to pay more than $269 million to settle federal and state lawsuits that accused the corporation of overbilling federal health-care programs.

On April 20, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Walgreens agreed to pay $7.9 million in settlement. The fine relates to allegations of violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act regarding beneficiaries of federal health care programs.

Also in 2008, Walgreens "agreed to pay $35 million to the U.S. and 42 states and Puerto Rico for overcharging state Medicaid programs by filling prescriptions with more expensive dosage forms of ranitidine, a generic form of Zantac and fluoxetine, which is a generic form of Prozac."

In March 2008 Walgreens settled a lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that alleged the company discriminated against African Americans for $24 million.[71] The settlement was split between the 10,000 African-American employees of the company.[71] In the agreement, Walgreens avoided any admission of guilt.

In September 2018 Walgreens agreed to pay $34.5 million to settle a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation on charges of misleading investors on financial targets. The SEC alleged that former CEO Greg Wasson and then-CFO Wade Miquelon acted "negligently" in giving financial estimates.

In December 2012, a judge ordered Walgreens to pay $16.57 million to settle a lawsuit claiming that over 600 stores were illegally dumping hazardous waste and unlawfully disposing of customer records containing confidential medical information.

Ugh, that comment section. I am not a tankie but each day I fear I grow closer to being one.

These people have no redeeming qualities and if there really is a progressive turn around here they will more than happily go Y'allQueda on everything as 'mah resistance'. What the Hell do you do with these individuals? You mention 're-education' unironically and everybody loses their god damned minds. But know this: The clock just ran out as far as preventing a climate disaster on a level hard to even fathom. These trogs will be out there trying to get theirs in increasingly violent ways. I could almost see like some kind of redneck Los Zetas forming that would make the Atomwaffen look like casuals. The government would be stretched thin just trying to hold everything together so these hypothetical Hills Have Eyes rejects would be the de facto law in vast areas out west. I'd feel better if somebody explained in detail why such a scenario would be laughably absurd. Please.

"The surge in shoplifting incidents arose almost immediately after the passage of a local law that downgraded the theft of property less than $950 in value from a felony charge to a misdemeanor in 2014."

I know folks just like that security guard. Apparently the concern is breaking some crackhead's arm and getting sued, the thief WANTS to get tackled and sent to the hospital.

Good. Fuck the police.

“Liberals” tag.

To be fair, some of that is just that red states will beat up homeless people until they move away and are someone else's problem.

But, New York has the same Gini coefficient as Honduras, and California has the same as Guatemala. If voting blue is supposed to reduce inequality, it's spectacularly inefficient.
