Narrator: After more than 100 days of a violent insurrection in 2020 Portland (where more than half of those who were arrested for the violence would be extricated by the Federal Government because they were on the “right-side” of the racial justice crusade), the consequences for the law-abiding three years later were obvious. Axiomatic. [Nike BEGS Portland mayor for police protection to reopen shuttered community store plagued with retail theft, Post Millennial, February 17, 2023]:

On February 9, Nike sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and city officials asking for more police at their MLK Community Store, which has been closed for months because of ongoing retail theft, with the shoe brand even proposing to pay law enforcement directly if it would bring them the protection they were requesting.

According to KGW8, Nike proposed two options. The company was open to creating an “intergovernmental agreement” with the city of Portland to directly fund full-time police officers who would be selected to police the store. A second option would be to pay off-duty Portland Police Bureau officers as contracted security.

According to the Oregonian, Nike released a statement that said, “Because a safe and secure workplace is essential for our employees, consumers, and communities, we have proposed a sustained and coordinated partnership with the City to better protect employees, consumers, and the community surrounding our MLK Community Store.”

Sarah Mensah, Nike’s North America general manager, and chief security officer Joe Marsico said their company closed the MLK Community Store “in response to deteriorating public safety conditions and rapid escalation in retail theft.

The letter sent to Wheeler and Portland officials said “to date, the proposed solutions offered and the current public safety situation” did not leave any room for the store to reopen, leading to the company’s new proposal.

Nike said that under their new plan, they would continue to hire private security in addition to the police. The difference is that the private security contracted by the company is not legally allowed to intervene physically in a retail theft crime, which is a common practice in American retail stores. The police would have the power to detain and arrest individuals caught in the commission of a crime.

The letter stated the company was “at a critical juncture” and “it is critical that one of these two models be made effective prior to May 1, 2023.”

The company said they were evaluating “business decisions impacting retail operations” and may not be able to reopen the store, which first opened in 1984, without the city agreeing to one of the two proposals.

Local news reports that Portland community safety director Stephanie Howard said Nike’s proposal was unlikely to move forward because of Portland Police Bureau staffing.

“We already rely heavily on OT to reach minimum staffing levels for regular shifts, so there is no way we could provide dedicated officers to any business, regardless of its willingness to pay for the costs,” Howard said.

Howard added, “Resuming secondary employment might be possible eventually if we can clear the DPSST backlog, which is the largest hurdle to our restaffing efforts.”

The DPSST backlog refers to the lack of new police recruits in Portland who have passed the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training.

Nike. Portland. And the store was called the “MLK Community Store.”

Either you have law and order (and society monopolized by the concept of duty to the collective good), or you have 2023 Portland, where anti-whiteness has infected the ruling class like a cancer, collapsing civilization to the negro mean.

It had to be called the “MLK Community Store” too… don’t ever forget the Gods have a sense of humor for us mere mortals.

    https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/citys-inaugural-black-expo-leaves-minneapolis-small-business-owners-with-losses/

    And the MLK Community Store is exactly that, a place for the “MLK Community” to get dey shoes!

  3. AceDeuce says:

    Maybe Nike could convince Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and other naggrows, who Nike gave gazillions of dollars over the years, to stop by and tell the thieves to stop.

    Forget “Get woke-Go broke”. Time to get more specific:

    “Go nigg-Lose big.”

  4. From the City of Portland Crime Prevention Program website:

    Shoplifting Methods and Techniques

    Concealment: Clothes are the preferred concealment method for stolen retail goods. Some shoplifters use baggy clothes, others go as far as to make clothes with hidden pockets. Shoplifters also hide merchandise in strollers.

    Diversion: Be wary of people causing distractions. Always be on your guard for diversionary tactics when a suspicious pair or group arrives.

    Misrepresentation: Some customers will steal from your store and then return the stolen merchandise for a cash refund. Refund policies requiring a sales slip that is then carefully examined will discourage refund frauds.

    Openly Aggressive: This approach depends on boldness and a disbelief in, or disregard for, consequences. Thieves will rely on their audacity and the element of surprise to blatantly walk or run out of the store with unpaid property in full view.

    Palming: Concealing small articles such as lipsticks, perfume, necklaces and bracelets in the hand.

    Handling: Customers that inspect three or four items at a time and then returns most, but not all, of the items to the display shelf. Opening sealed boxes and pilfering the contents.

    Team Shoplifting: One customer will serve as a lookout while the other is concealing merchandise. Diversionary tactics are also common here.

    Modifications to Clothes: Examples include hidden pockets or hooks for hiding items, extra long belts with extra eyelets, wide skirts, capes and overcoats. Knitting bags, shopping bags from other stores, briefcases, umbrellas and folded newspapers can also be used as effective pouches for small articles.

    Forgetful Shopper Ploy: A customer “forgets” a bag of merchandise in your store. S/he calls to see if the bag is there and then returns, with a friend, to pick up the bag. When s/he picks up the “forgotten” goods, s/he claims that some items are missing. While your staff is in a panic looking for the “missing” items, s/he and/or the friend are stealing items from the store.

    Cover Ups: Many shoplifters place their coat or jacket on top of a counter over the article they want. Then simply pick up the coat with the
    item and walking out.

    A how-to tutorial, even a jogger could understand.

  5. I find this article hilarious because the boomerang effect of being woke is finally kicking the asses of the woke crowd and it’s awesome. Support the negroes unquestioningly, support the negroes who are responsible for the violent crime uprising in the nation and now feel the pain. On a side note, who, what officer on the Portland PD would take a side job at this “communjty” store or accept an assignment at this location? I guarantee that within a matter of one or two days an officer would be involved in some sort of a confrontation with a beloved member of the negro race and the police head hunters would be out in force. Would Nike back the officer? I doubt it. Reopen the store Nike, bring in your purple haired office staff, upper management capons into the fray and have them be the line of defense against shoplifters, miscreants, neer-do-wells and the other various assortments of negro actors who will cause endless issues. Enjoy the show, screw you Nike, screw you Portland.

  17. “The difference is that the private security contracted by the company is not allowed to intervene physically in a retail theft crime.” Yeah, I’ve seen numerous videos where such security personnel just stand and watch as feral negroes or other low-life miscreants load up trash bags full of merchandise and arrogantly saunter out of a store. Or they flash rob the store and run out with armloads of merchandise. As far as security goes in such instances, the old saying of “useless as tits on a boar hog” comes to mind. Even if they later identify the thief or thieves, they only get a slap on the wrist- especially in libtarded cities where stealing up to $950 is a misdemeanor.

    At least Walgreens had the good sense to start closing down stores in San Franciso just as Walmart has done in Portland, Oregon due to all the shoplifting they were experiencing due to the soft on crime libtarded policies of the halfwits running such cities. Maybe it’s time for Nike to get a clue and do the same.

    Thus evolution is of no help. If there were positive evolution, it likely would apply to other races too.

    Here’s a negroidal gentleman who worked at a nursing home who had so much love in his heart that he raped a non communicative 94 year old White woman suffering from dementia.

    Anthony Clark, 49, of Allentown, a former worker at South Mountain Memory Care in Emmaus, is charged with raping a 94-year-old resident at the care home for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The woman later died but there is no evidence the alleged assault contributed to her death, officials said.

    My father has always said he wants to be driven out to the deep woods and left on his own, instead of being put in a home. At this point I can see the logic in his request.

    I used to think about how my own demise would play out. The women in my family tend to be long-lived, the men, not so much. But, they tended to be cut down by cancer and other issues from smoking, drinking a bit too much, working around dangerous chemicals in their younger years, and such. I take fairly good care of myself, so I could see myself living well into my 80s or beyond.

    I’m an only child, divorced, don’t have any kids. Not really close to either side of my family any more. So I always imagined that eventually, all my closest relatives would be dead, and I’d be a recluse. One day in the distant future, in the house, alone, I figured I’d probably take a fall down the stairs, or in the tub, or one of those other “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” moments. I’d just lay there, in agony, unable to get up, and slowly starve to death. Eventually, the mail would pile up , or the overgrown grass would tip someone off, or something, and the police would break in and see find my decomposing body.

    That image used to scare the hell out of me. But, with the way elder care facilities are these days, suddenly I’m okay with it.

    “Maybe it’s time for Nike to get a clue and do the same.”

    Nike is like a lot of leftwing people, they are too weak to be honest enough with themselves to admit they have made a mistake. They are so narcissistic that they would prefer to fail, rather than admit to failing decisions. When that ultimate failure finally sinks in, Nike will blame someone or some group rather than their own executives. They will not blame their preferred blacks either, as that would make them look stupid for their wokeness. What’s left to blame? COVID, White privilege, systemic racism, poverty (are Appalachian stores closing because of theft), or climate change? My favorite would be “racist” highways.

    Think of Nike like our government. 60 years of set-aside contracts, rigged test scores, forced integration, racist quotas, and affirmative action failure, yet all we get to show for this is lost money and a senile, old man standing in front of the whole nation telling us this is all a success, and claiming diversity is our strength. Then he blunders on, despoiling capitalism by bragging about DEI, and going so racist as to put down White people. A senile, corrupt fraud, voted in over his head by 82 million terminally ignorant people who reproduce. We ain’t comin’ back from this without revolt.

    Priss Factor————Typical Negro Behavior isn’t new. I grew up in the 1950s,and the county fair was segregated. Blacks were only allowed on Wednesday.If there was a stabbing or shooting that week,it always occurred on Wed. In the South,every small town had it’s Little Africa.
    TNB was only allowed in Little Africa. In that little corner of paradise,negroes were free to hoot,holler,gamble,drink,slice,and shoot to their heart’s content. However,absent segregation, White people now have to deal with lower primate behavior. P.S. P.S.

    Let me give you an example of how a shoe store could dissuade shoplifting by design:

    A display sample shoe (numbered at the display) with a wire-cable ran through the sole secured with a bolt inside and about 4 feet of slack line is put on shelves at one end of the store so customers can pick them up, look them over, and let another person inspect them when considering them for purchase. If they like the shoe, they can go to the front desk and request to try on shoe # 25, and place their socked foot on a shoe measurement scale, and putting their finger in a fingerprint scanner. A box of size 10 shoes can be given to the customer to try on at that time from storage at the back of the store behind locked doors. If they like them, they buy it. If they put them on and walk out the front door, the store has their fingerprint on record to give to the police as well as the security video.

    Since we can sell stuff on Facebook marketplace, there is an incentive for people to lift oodles of merchandise. Retailers have to come up with a solution unless they want to give up on certain markets with lax shoplifting laws. Nike could afford my idea, easily.

    “Shoe stores” are a construct of whiteness used to oppress marginalized vulnerable beautiful African Americans.

    When beautiful marginalized vulnerable African Americans were first brought as enslaved persons of color to Portland in 1619, they were forced to work in “shoe stores” where they served white plantation masters by fitting them with athletic shoes which were only in the color white as a daily reminder of white supremacy. Any marginalized beautiful vulnerable African American who did not ask, “What is your shoe size, sir?” was immediately fed to the sharks which swam the Portland River.

    Is it any wonder that vulnerable marginalized beautiful African Americans are today extracting reparations for centuries of being forced to kneel before white masters who demanded athletic shoes which “fit” them?

    Here on my university, the student union co-op atones for four centuries of white shoe privilege by allowing beautiful vulnerable marginalized African Americans to appropriate any shoes they want. (The one thing we can not figure out is why the co-op is declaring bankruptcy. Huh!)

    Now excuse me, I have to get back to my seminar, “From Soul Brothers to Shoe Soles, 400 Years of Heeling.”

    I started off my career auditing nursing homes in the hot south. After the first day of urine saturated air, I went back to the Holiday Inn and got blasted and danced with every woman who would dance with me. Utterly depressing. No way I will end my days in a nursing home. I’ll take hemlock or fentanyl.

    Yes, by all means give the nogs vouchers to travel and choose and ruin even more majority White private, charter, and parochial schools. They made their White built schools ghetto, they can stay there. Baltimore City Schools will be spending about $21000 per student this year, thanks to a massive education funding increase. No student is proficient in math in these little prison systems. It’s one big black joke.

    Now? Well, us whites should give ourselves — or at least our Jews — a pat on the back. We made this problem!

    Liberal upscale whites have played a central role (along with Jews) in defending what should be indefensible bad black behavior.

    It is too bad that blacks have shown themselves to be too stupid to resent being treated as victims without agency.

    Blacks have a lot of problems assimilating to a white world that is baked into them by genetics, but liberal whites and Jews have not helped blacks by defending their savagery and blaming it on whitey.

    Unless blacks can do some serious self-reflection and have the ability to behave like decent people, they will be avoided like the plague.

    breitbart has photo of the fat black Attorney Alvin Bragg (D

    Donald Trump’s message Saturday urging supporters to protest his expected indictment has drawn a private response from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), with a report claiming he sent an all-staff email outlining “we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York.”

    COMMENT

    It’s time to start arresting some of these S O R RR R O S financed DAs when the DOJ is under Republican control. Alvin Bragg should be arrested and charged with “Election Interference” if his attempt to escalate this case to a Felony through State application of Federal Election law is correct.

    In Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago we know how to deal with felons in possession of firearms! They get one year of probation, 6 months with an ankle monitor and then 6 months without any. That is a lot of punishment.

    I agree, school vouchers will be a disaster. The nogs have practiced invading White areas for generations and ruining their public schools. All the vouchers will do is give them the ability to ruin the ones that the Whites have fled to, be they public OR private. This won’t end well.

    Good idea on the nursing home. Last week I had lunch with an old friend from elementary school days and learned that while his elderly mother (now deceased) was in a nursing home, her mind having slipped away, she was given a physical exam that revealed she had herpes. It turned out that one if the Africans employed there had had his way with her, knowing she would never be able to tell anyone, even if she had been conscious.

    I suspect this sort of thing is much more common than most of us realize.

    Thanks, I found it. According to the Washington Post ‘story’ he wasn’t just forced to apologise but did so immediately after uttering the verboten word, when members of his staff “took offence”. Big mistake. He should have immediately explained its meaning to the lexically challenged dullards, and ‘done a Nixon’.

    Many years ago, I had a friend whose mother was in a nursing home where a rape ape was found to have been raping the incapacitated women. Luckily, his mother wasn’t one of them.

    My advice to anyone who has to put a relative in one of these places is to find the whitest town you can and put the relative in a home there. Even if it means visiting is a lot harder, at least safety doesn’t become a major issue in terms of rape or physical abuse.

    I had a friend who worked in a nursing home for a few years and one thing people don’t know is that nursing homes will often staff each shift poorly so that one worker will be responsible for taking care of up to fifteen patients per shift all by themselves. It’s why he quit the job as he said the job didn’t pay enough and the staffing ratio made it impossible to take care of the patients to the level they deserved.

    As for nursing homes and how they operate, there’s a reason why neither my step-dad or mother were placed in one and were instead taken care of at home. Once a person is placed in a nursing home, fifty percent of everything that person owns is seized- that includes bank accounts, stocks, and real estate. An attorney (Elder Care Law) gave me a booklet about it entitled, “Saving Momma’s Home” which detailed everything. Which brings me back to the staffing issue mentioned in the previous paragraph- the nursing homes have the money- they just don’t spend it on the patients nor on staffing.

That said, if i hadn’t had 2 sisters,a brother,a brother in law,my wife, and a bunch of hired help Mother Dearest would have out lived me. When the end finally arrived, my response was one of tremendous relief. Funeral at 2:00 PM. At the airport at 5:15 PM for a 10 day vacation in Mexico, 9 years without a vacation. Should’a booked a month.

    I’ve heard different variations of what happens when you go into a nursing home, so I wonder if it varies by state? Or perhaps it’s changed over the years?

    The closest personal experience I’ve had is when my grandmom went in one, towards the end of her life. It was something like $13,000 per month. I think Medicare picked up part of the tab, at first, but it ran out fast. I do remember they got one full payment out of us, but then we made the second, but she died around the middle of the month, so we got about half of it back.

    I forget exactly what it was called, but I also remember Grandmom being in some kind of assisted place, on the hospital grounds, that was around $5200/mo, once medicare ran out. She got a little better, and then went into an assisted living place, which was essentially a converted house with wheelchair facilities, where they had people on the grounds to feed you, help you move around, bathe, etc. I think they did have a nurse on the premises during the day. That was around $2700-2800/mo. Neither of these two was a full-blown nursing home, though. This was also in the 2014-2015 timeframe, so I’m sure prices have gone up considerably since then.

    I have a friend, in Pennsylvania, whose grandmother went into a nursing home. In that case, I think they forced a sale on the house, and all the assets went into an escrow account. When she died, there was a little money left over, that went to the next of kin.
