All this rampant shoplifting has to stop. People are acting like they have a right to shoplift. They consider it their business, the way they make a living. And a huge amount of the stolen goods are being resold online on “reputable” websites like Amazon and eBay.

This is not a victimless crime, only hurting big corporations. Stores are closing, leaving some neighborhoods without groceries and pharmacies. People who worked in those stores are losing their jobs. And, in this case, two young unarmed security guards were stabbed and one of them lost his life.

There needs to be serious consequences for shoplifting, especially for serial shoplifters and also for the legit businesses who are allowing stolen goods to be sold via their websites. Some of this is organized crime and some of it is “entrepreneurial”.
