I mean it would be less sad if he didn't die of an overdose like so many people it's not even sad It's just disappointing that somebody is such a mess they can't control themselves... Probably cuz he's from the hood and all the hood does is perpetuate the same nonsense and decision making that ended up taking his life... But vice can't cover anything like that because you're not allowed to tell black people what to do... Even Obama couldn't get anybody in line because they didn't think he was black enough... Just like Tim pool mentioned about vice news not thinking he was ethnic enough even though he's part Asian lol

Just because other people steal doesn't make it right. She says since other people do it she has to do it. It also sounds like and her husband are pure lazy to get a job. Lazy and makes excuses. Also if New York is too expensive, then live somewhere more affordable like the Southern states.

I work in retail, as a low level employee, for a multimillion dollar corporation. Most of the employees don't care if you steal and generally, employees are NOT allowed to confront shoplifters, follow them, or accuse them of anything. It's too much of a liability for the corporation. They would rather lose a couple hundred in merchandise, than a couple thousand in a lawsuit. My main piece of advice to shoplifters would be; don't hit the same store more than once or twice because we DO notice and at a certain point, if we DON'T report you, it makes US look suspicious. At the end of the day it's every man for himself. We had one shoplifter at my store, who came in every day, at the exact same time, wearing the exact same clothes. DON'T DO THIS. After a couple days I had to report her because she was being super obvious. If it was only once or twice, I would've let it slide.

I work adjacent to the retail industry. At least in my area, part if the Philadelphia market but not the city, it’s mostly black women and white men who shoplift. The black women typically steal out of desperation and poverty. The white men are typically either drug addicts or they’re part of a shoplifting network stealing high ticket items. It really depends on the area but it’s fair to say it’s not just black people. However, black people tend to stand out because when they get caught they are more likely to make a scene, which then perpetuates the stereotype.
