      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’m actually in LA right now. Maybe I’ll give it a try

            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.

                      Yeah, visited UCLA Health and today we have an Education Day for patients.

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