There’s a lot of users that immediately jump to “deport them!” that are gonna be in shambles when they see there’s a lot of regular white people arrested.
Where are my redditors who says stealing from grocery stores is okay?

as an immigrant I find it refreshing to see a list of regular Canadian methheads
Real dream team there. Is that the crew from Ocean’s Eleven?
that’s what happens when you have no basic rule of law and let shop lifters walk out and don’t charge and force it to get to such extremes. It also bleed into our awsome culture of importing all the scammers and lowest trust people we could find to allow to move here, while having to actually put up don’t shit in public signs on beaches because the think it’s normal.
car theft, fraudulent mortgages and incomes, and phone scams we have become a country that can’t even have basic trust and accountability due to the last decade of changes.
…ha ha
Which wrist did they slap them on ?
A store I worked at was right beside a hotel turned homeless shelter. We had video footage of one shining star of an individual stealing hundreds of dollars of power tools, and footage of them going into the hotel. Cops refused to pursue the case and left it as is. Hope that wonderful member of society is on there
Glad to see the usual suspects back in action
So are all the suspects homeless? How can they be all from “no fixed address”?
They targeted homeless boosters. Which benefits the elite rich who owns the companies. I don’t support stealing or think it should be allowed, but is this really the best use of our money?
It’s o my going to keep getting worse. People are desperate right now. Food and housing is an all time high while jobs are sparse and underpaying.
Are they out already? Asking for a friend
