Who wants to guess the demographics of the neighborhood?



Hint: It's on a bus line.

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

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.

I went by the Roanoke, VA walmart once.  It looked like an FSA airport or something.  Taxi cabs coming and going constantly.  Never seen that before.  Never go back either.  There has to be some sort of obama taxi benefit now, or they've started taking ebt or something.

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.”

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."

I guess they've never heard of "correlation does not equal causation".

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?

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.
