Societal Breakdown

[BigBrother]

I ordered some stuff from Belk's online. Went and picked it up last night. Should have just had it delivered.

On my way out the door, a young black man with an armfull of clothes pushed out the doors not in a trot, but a fast walk. Set off the alarms then trotted to the passenger side of a recycled police crown vic and sped away. I didnt give chase, but followed on the phone with 911, who referred me back to Belk. Finally got a person on the phone at Belk who took the license plate number with a description of person and vehicle and said they would pass it to loss prevention. Seemed annoyed I called.

At which point I started pondering just how much longer this will continue before society just collapses.

My bunker doesn't seem so silly now

I don't know why any of these type businesses still maintain physical locations and haven't gone straight mail order.

I'd go strictly online if I could. People are the worst.

That's peanuts. There is a lawyer from Hampton that is charged with stealing millions from the poor and he has apologist among us. We broke down long ago. White collar crimes cost us more than the petty shoplifter.

Two points for the sarcasm. He needs a bullet too.

Was at home depot the other day and the cashier asked if I wanted my receipt, I said no. She then ripped it into a bunch of little pieces and threw it in the trash. Most places would have just tossed the receipt so I asked why she ripped it up. She said that people will take receipts out of the trash and go steal the identical items from the receipts. Then when they go to return the items they stole they can get cash back with the receipt.

Also went to another depot and was looking for a shopping basket. I finally asked an employee where the baskets where and he told me they had all gotten stolen.

From the same rifle of justice.

Things have escalated well beyond petty shoplifting. Laws are created to protect criminals. Watch videos from San Francisco and other blue areas where store employees are specifically instructed not to interfere with people stealing (by the car load) or risk losing their jobs or legal troubles. Look at Kyle Rittenhouse. Things are being orchestrated to empower criminality and limit peoples ability to defend against it.

Operation Venezuela 2.0 is well on its way.

[Bigtimber2]

Still peanuts. Look at the National debt, state pension program, your tax withholdings or quarterly payment. We are not breaking down we are broke. But the R's are going to restore us. The media is just diverting your attention.

Who is Alec’s apologist? I got tired of that thread and guess I missed it.

It is sure going to be difficult to tell friend from foe if it does break down. Finite resources will put people to some hard choices while the elite sit it out amidst comfort and plenty. People will cry when the internet is taken out, but they will die when electricity follows suit. On the plus side, you will see groups of country folks coming together, sharing, and acting as their ancestors did. The city folks are just fucked. Zero resources and while the country folks first instinct will be to try to help stragglers, the finite resources and evil in the hearts of those looking to take will quickly disabuse them of such notions. There is still time for Americans on all sides to come together, throw off the threat of socialism, and get back to being the superpower of the planet. Is the Republic too far gone?

No fear of business owners, law or judges. Only the victims will be able to give them the fear they need.

I guess this regression is why the settlers built fortifications like Boonesboro. The time is nearing to separate yourself from the lawless dredges of society by what ever means necessary. You are responsible for your own safety.

In my opinion, yes.

We cannot expect corrupt politicians, local, state or federal, to legislate us back to sanity. I'll collapse and sooner than we think as it seems to be moving exponentially now.

But take comfort! We were told the R's are going to save us all once again! P-Lowe said so!

Does the law enforcement "look the other way"?

Still have to wonder about the cops that jailed Rittenhouse in the first place. "Ordinary Men" , just following orders.

Yes on both

If you worked in a big department store would you risk your life to stop shoplifters if the store management told you not to? I dont even know if security guards would deter these mobs. Now if it were your families store and they rushed in doing thier smash and grab, how many days would you spend in jail for trying to stop them? I do notice they dont seem to be mobbing any gun stores. Society is already screwed

BT gets it. Thugs and the thug mentality are definitely issues, but so are all the things mentioned above, which, if I'm not mistaken, are "legal", although the mindsets are sorta the same. Just food for thought.

I was talking with an Australian guy last year at Christmas. He got stuck here due to the KungFlu with his American girlfriend, and they couldn’t get back to Australia for Christmas. He said if someone breaks into his house, robs him, and is beating him, if he flicks the guy in the nose, he’ll go to jail for assault. The perp will go home. World is a messed up place. I hate it for my children.
