Shop in Democrat-Run Portland Closes After 15 Break-ins: 'Our City Is in Peril'

[BREITBART] Marcy Landolfo, who owns the Rains PDX store in Democrat-run Portland, Oregon, is fed up after experiencing break-in number 15.

Landolfo told KATU she decided to shut it down because, "The products that are being targeted are the very expensive winter products and I just felt like the minute I get those in the store they’re going to get stolen," the outlet reported Saturday.

She is also concerned for her employees’ safety and acknowledged, "The problem is, as small businesses, we cannot sustain those types of losses and stay in business. I won’t even go into the numbers of how much has been out of pocket."

A notice on the shop’s door said the location was permanently closed and told visitors to use the website instead.

The notice also told customers:

Our city is in peril. Small businesses (and large) cannot sustain doing business in our city’s current state. We have no protection or recourse against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins. We have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd.

#1 Nobody in Portland cares. They hate capitalism, remember? Shops closing is a time for celebration, not anger.

#2 The lack of police activity to prevent this might suggest they are part of the theft ring.

#3 It is a Liberal Socialist Democrat run operation now.
So why are they bothering to lock the doors?
Put up an Honor Box, so that their fellow comrades, who have been oppressed by the White Capitalist Class, can pay what they can afford.

Or, wouldn't their ANTI-FArt / BLOM comrades look out for them?

#4 Yes, I suspect soon, it will be illegal to do anything for profit in PDX.

#5 Maybe they should try Communism. No one steals from city-owned stores. There are consequences.

#6 No worries. Everything is online these days anyway. Nobody needs an actual brick and mortar operation that allows customers to examine the merchandise in person. Put pictures of the merchandise online and let customers find out after they order it whether it meets their needs or not. Let Portland die.

#8 They've only been open for three (3) years, so it's not like they're a bastion of the community.

#9 I think it's good that they're closing. Otherwise they are just feeding the beast
