      At some point the crackdown has to come. Either that or those areas become a real food desert.

            The lack of consequences for this behavior can be laid at the feet of the dominant political ideology of those areas.

            Education is extremely important.

                I wouldn’t. Tonal dissonance and all that.

                      That sounds vaguely geh.

                        True story....

                        Many moons ago, there was an unbelievable spate of armed robberies of 7/11 stores in Dallas. The solution was to station a policeman armed with a shotgun in the cooler, watching the front counter. The instructions were to shoot the robber at the first sign of a drawn and pointed gun.

                        IIRC, the police killed two or three on Friday night, one on Saturday night and Sunday night in Dallas saw no armed robberies at any area 7/11. There was outrage at police brutality, but the robberies ceased. And stayed that way for a few weeks, even though the cops quit shooting robbers.

                            I've redd of this as a device in fiction -- police stationed in the storerooms of liquor stores.

                            I don't have a problem with it. Like the carny man says, "Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya choice."
