      We both know that’s BS. Memphis is one of the poorest cities in the country, one of the most minority populated, which means there’s going to be discrimination regarding recruitment for jobs, it’s not a culture to be evil.

      So if it's not poverty, then why are they stealing. And who is buying this stolen stuff. They are just as guilty as the kids stealing. It's 100 percent wrong.

    They don’t understand they’re making it worse for themselves and everyone else.
    - They steal
    - Businesses either leave the area or raise their prices to recoup their losses
    - If prices are raised, they are now more inclined to steal
    OR
    - If that business leaves the area, now an entire community experiences that economic loss.
    It’s madness here smh.
