Well it ain't Macon, GA. Those posers only did $2k in vandalism and didn't steal anything.

When I go into the kingstowne VA Walmart. I feel like I'm at the UN

They need to close that Walmart and create a food/rubber dog poop/electronics desert.

Yeah. I work for a loss prevention company who is hired by a decent sized retail store in a certain demographic wellfare area of Texas.
We arrest 200 people a year and 90% are...well you know. |

The fourth house Darley-Emerson visited was home to an African-American man in his 30s who came to the door in a sweatshirt emblazoned with the word ETHIOPIA. Darley-Emerson introduced herself, and immediately asked him if he had taken advantage of Ohio’s early-voting window. He explained that he was a nursing student and that a trip to the downtown board of elections wasn’t easy to schedule. Soon Darley-Emerson was talking him through the various transportation possibilities, and the relative merits of garage and street parking. Together they made a plan—he would drive downtown to vote mid-afternoon Sunday—and Darley-Emerson moved to the next item on her mental checklist: pushing this likely voter to move down his ballot to support Ohio’s Democratic senator, Sherrod Brown.
In so doing, Darley-Emerson had the type of psychologically meaningful interaction that years of randomized-control trials had shown would increase a citizen’s likelihood of casting a ballot. But she had overlooked the opening, threshold question on her script, the one she’d been trained to start with: Who do you support for president? “I forgot to ask that first,” Darley-Emerson acknowledged after retreating to the sidewalk, and then joked that she was as “an absent-minded teacher” getting an early start on her career. “Part of why I felt a little more comfortable making that mistake,” she reflected, “is most of the people on our list at this point are supporters.” View Quote Obama's Get out the vote... |

I'm questioning this claim.
Article says 235 reports of theft in 2 years. Thats really not too crazy. |

You Buckeyes *DO* know the Aurora, Indiana Walmart is only 20 minutes away, dontcha???
Guns, fishing equipment, clean, well lighted, no noxious smells, multiple cash registers open... Its like a different planet... |
|
lol, I like the conclusion of the 'research' paper the article quoted: "Accordingly, our data suggest that there may be something unique about Walmart that produces a relationship with crime."
|
|
***"The researchers concluded: 'Our analyses revealed that counties with Walmart had, on average, higher violent and property crime rates compared to similarly situated counties without the retailer’s presence"***

Shit we got called out to the local walmart 4 times yesterday.
I was driving through the parking lot and the manager stopped me and asked if I was here for the latest won, "Nope just passing through but sure why not." |

View Quote I guess they've never heard of "correlation does not equal causation". Relevancy Accuracy Logic Clarity Precision Breadth Depth Significance Completeness Fairness They failed. Was this claimed higher crime a result of: A. Wal Mart being present B. The type of people in proximity to a target of opportunity |

Near a bus line? Reminds me of the SF Bay Area Rapid Transit stations that had its stations near poor neighborhoods. Any question as to why the auto-burglaries?

Poor people shop at Walmart, and Walmart likes to put their stores near their customers. |

No. I don't have to "ax" you what demographic that neighborhood has.
|
|
Thats my walmart, Im about 5 mins away. It is the ghetto-mart. There is a patrol car parking spot right outside the doors.
|
|
We avoid walmart all together anymore, and damn sure don't do any shopping at the first of the month..

That's a VERY different Westwood from the one I'm used to (UCLA)

It's also right down the street from a very diverse high school. So that may have something to do with the shoplifting as well.

This seems to be the police saying it is the highest in the company. I guarantee that at only 235 thefts in a 2 year period is not very many. That would be an average risk of theft store. there are stores that hit near 1000 lifters a year

I was told one of the WalMart supercenters in Louisville was one of the only supercenters to close at night because after a certain hour all they have are shoplifters.
The city kissed walmarts ass, gave them a big piece of land and bunch of tax incentives to build a walmart smack dab in the middle of the ghetto. They haven't broke ground yet, but they are gonna have to have gun towers on top of this thing to keep the shoplifting to an acceptable limit. |
