Depends on where you live. In my city in the Midwest, some people tried to push three shopping carts of merchandise out of a TJ Maxx, drove into a cop car that was trying to stop them, then drove down the highway toward the police HQ (I’m guessing on accident), and as they tried to escape crashed into another car and flipped their vehicle. This feels like a lot for shoplifting. At the same time, as a law abiding citizen this coming down hard on crime sure makes my life easier. My TJ Maxx doesn’t have boards on the windows and they don’t have off duty cops posted at the door, unlike the Target I visited on my trip last year to the SF Bay Area. So the question is which society do we want to live in, or is there an optimal middle ground?
