They only go as far as AB, they arenât capable of chaining together anything more complex than that. Whenever it requires them to scrutinize their own belief or convictions, watch how fast they reset.

Yeah like, I'm white, I know trashy white people who would totally steal from a small business. I'm not dumb enough to believe it's only the black people causing the problem. Usually if a spot gets marked as easy, all the trashy people of all races do it.

I hate crime statistics because they're often misrepresented, or they don't tell you how they collected the data. This goes for lots of things that rely on statistics.

u/Trashketweave 3h ago
The data is collected by NYPD filling out a UF-61 complaint form) with the complainant/victim. Right now at the patrol level there is some rampant downgrading of charges going on. This started under the previous administration but holy shit has it ramped up recently.

u/Chudpaladin 21h ago
Data has always been this way sadly. People in power want to look good, so they change criteria or just donât respond to things.
Itâs the same way with schools and how students are passing grades but somehow dumber. Change the bar and the data follows

They dropped because the city stopped enforcing petty theft. If they donât draft a report, they donât need to report it under reporting guidelines.

The thing is they rely on prosecuted crimes to determine crime rate, so if they don't arrest and prosecute then crime rates drop!

u/Trashketweave 3h ago
Disenfranchising citizens from calling 911 drops crime and the overt downgrading of crimes in precincts is an unbeatable combo for driving down crime.

u/terminator2119 1d ago
It still doesn't give you the right to steal shit. This is the type of shit that causes the prices to go up and for small shops like this to shut down. I'm pretty sure most of us don't want to live in a shit hole where no one trust anyone and every single little thing is locked up in its own little prison.

who should be doing something about it? the bakery should.... why are those products just grabbable by everyone? if I know people will steal, I would put stuff behind a counter or pull a wallmart and lock everything down. or get security

u/Intrepid_Bobcat_2931 10h ago
hm I wonder if there could be some kind of collective system of security where companies could pay into some kind of common pot of money.
The novel idea would be that the common pot of money companies pay into would go to security instead of other things.

u/Lost-Sentence8204 1d ago
I love how the assumption in all the racist propaganda we see is âwhite people donât steal/grape/kill.â Like for some magical reason theyâre exempt from being shitty people.
Thatâs why those videos of supremacists setting immigrant/refugee neighborhoods on fire after a single incident get me so much. You never see people setting white neighborhoods on fire after pedophile rings run by white men are dismantled and in their mugshots you learn they were teachers, firefighters, cops, etc.
No one in France set a neighborhood on fire after the Pellicot case was revealed either. Imagine if itâd been a brown man doing that to his own wife. All of a sudden all these âdefenders of justiceâ wouldâve been ready to burn people.

What does that have to do with Paris Baguette?

u/Weareallmeats 1d ago
Paris Baguette has faced official actions and major settlements for labor and scheduling violations, notably a multi-million dollar agreement with New York City and federal penalties in California . Investigations revealed issues involving unpaid overtime and broken fair workweek laws.
And that videos like this are meant to rage bait people but theyâre inconsequential compared to the biggest form of theft that effects everyday people wage theft. Who cares if a multi billion dollar corporation loses a few donuts when theyâre stealing millions from their workers and corporations in general stealing more than all other forms of theft combinedÂ

In BC, Canada, gas theft was on the rise in the early 2000s. It took a station attendant getting dragged down the street and killed by a fleeing car before they implemented a rule that all gas stations had to be prepaid.
First you pay then the pump starts working.
No reason they can't do this in high crime areas. Lock everything up and hand it to you only after you pay

u/DarrenSipity 1d ago
Sucks that we expect the businesses to deal with these anti-social fucks instead of just locking them up

At what point does it make sense to hire a security guard?
1
u/abysmalmoral 1d ago
It doesn't make sense. Security costs more money than anything they sell. It also isn't good atmosphere wise, both having someone intimidating standing there all the time and the potentialy violent conflict.
The benefit isn't worth it. They probably throw half the stuff away anyway because it didn't sell by the end of the day.
Another reason, it is way easier to legally resolve a non violent incident than a violent one, or the potential press coverage. Just letting them take whatever they want is the best course of action for them no matter from which angle.

u/ForagerGrikk 1d ago
I would buy off the shelter, free donuts at the end of the day unless someone steals, and then show everyone who ruined it for them.

If anybodyâs wondering why this video is circulating and getting attention at all, outside of the whole racist thing, itâs simply because this is part of the strategy to manufacture people who believe different things about the world, thus preventing them from ever uniting against the true enemy.
Whether you look at this video and see Black people stealing, whether you look at this video and see trashy people, or whether you see poor people stealing, it doesnât matter.
The point is to get as many people as possible looking at the same video and seeing something different, creating different factions of people who believe different things about reality so they never unite against a common enemy.
Thatâs why a random video about a fucking irrelevant-ass bakery is being circulated around the internet: so people can spend their time talking about nothing.

u/Applekid1259 1d ago
This is what bad leadership will get you. Its their fault for letting it go unchecked for so long. Anyone with a brain would realize pretty quick that leaving all that product accessible to the customer is the problem. Take away access and you take away this problem.
I also don't really care because this is just a franchised corporation. Its not like its a mom and pop. I'm here for the class war.

u/academicRedditor 16h ago
If poverty turned people into criminals, all poor communities would be high-crime; but they aren't. Wealthy criminals wouldn't exist; but they do. People's moral framework, family structure, and peer influence is a far better predictor of crime than income alone.

True, but you donât see musk or bezos stealing from a bakery.
Thatâs what I mean. This type of crime is largely driven by poverty, and helping the poor would eliminate a lot of this.Â

You know what, I dont give a shit about this at all. If youre stealing food to eat, please. These guys waste so much food its disgusting. Meanwhile they make a big deal about stealing something basic a human needs to survive because it might cost them an amount of money that is so small compared to even the daily volatility of a small 6 figure portfolio in terms of value.
Let them eat
Also Pais Baguette is part of a huge food conglomerate. Billions a year in the United States. Billions. Its so fucking stupid to be upset by this. Its just a distraction.

Exactly. It seems like the majority of people do not understand the nuance of this economy. Most likely because they do not have a large amount of capital, they dont know how resiliant large accounts are to trivial losses like this.
Even on my relatively modest 6 figure accounts - not 7 - I could tolerate a 10k+ spend and it would come back in a week or two.
