Smash and Grab

Smash and Grab


Loot and nab.
Did your parents tell you, it is Ok to grab?

Stash and run.
Who taught you stealing is fun?

Job by mob.
Never had a job, for you I sob.

Crash the glass.
What care you, about the owner’s cash?

In and run out.
You sin and with joy, smile and shout.

In jails, you belong.
Lights out early and no late night songs

Sad state of the world and it's ALL OVER the world. I hear about it from my Spanish speaking students. They can't escape it in Mexico or South America either. Ignorance, poverty and nuturing, all have part in it.

I dont buy its in every country. We have had poverty since time began! Here in the uSA..there are many organizations that aid the poor. This has nothing to do with poverty. Just theft to resell junk in the hood. To make money. Illegal as heck i know rich people in the hood.))) Pangie

Welcome to Democrat America where looters and criminals are the real “victims” and store owners are systemically racist slave masters exploiting the oppressed. Gutless Democrat DAs and judges won’t deal with these rioting thugs out of some woke warped world view. God save us all from ourselves.

Ditto and dito! The insane leaning-to Socialism is behind this. Government wants to own all businesses. People are brainwashed to loathe the store owners and love the poor who steal. To work is a sin? Your reply makes no bones about who is responsible. This site adores Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood.ie...to steal from the the wealthy...i have seen this in comments. Merry Christmas... Pangie

What creates that person? Nurturing? It cannot be nature. Yes, in jail they belong.

The cost to owners is immeasurable, Eve! Society has closed its eyes...Puts weak niks in office. We elected those who will not enforce societal rules,and there is no nurturing. Greed, pure greed. These expensive items are not for them but they resell them. Congress is looking into this. AndEve..remember the good souls like yourself who do pay. There are more good than evil people. Merry Christmas, Pangie xoxo
