More Non-Punishment
This must be some more of that "mostly peaceful looting" everyone was talking about:
A shoplifting team that has repeatedly targeted the Macy’s store at Water Tower Place raised the stakes by bringing baseball bats to ward off security officers during a raid on the retailer’s menswear department last week, prosecutors said. One adult and one juvenile are now charged with robbery.
Loss prevention officers caught 19-year-old Darien Green shoplifting three times in the previous month, according to prosecutors. But Macy’s didn’t press charges in those cases.
Wait...what?
- "...Macy’s didn’t press charges in those cases."
Well in that case, fuck Macy's. You deserve every robbery you get.
So, when Green and two companions entered the store with baseball bats on the afternoon of November 12, security officers decided to keep an eye on them, said Assistant State’s Attorney Meredith Rudolfi.
When a guard approached the trio in the menswear department, Green threatened him with a bat while a juvenile threatened to beat the agent if he didn’t stop following the group around. The security officer backed away while other Macy’s employees kept an eye on the crew via surveillance cameras.
Green and the third offender allegedly took coats from the racks and walked out. Macy’s agents did not try to apprehend the group.
Well thank goodness these robbers will finally face justice!
- According to CPD records, Green has been arrested six times in the past eleven months: for criminal trespass to vehicles and trespassing in Englewood; for shoplifting in Uptown; for battery at the Sheridan Red Line station; and for failure to disperse from Trump Tower during riots on May 31.

did they think the young gentlmen were on their way to Grant Park for a quick game of softball or go out for a pass? and on their way went to Macys to get some attire for the approching holiday festivities,,,,hmmm makes one wonder.
Might Darien soon become a number somewhere in between seven and eight hundred? If his chosen lifestyle is any indication, he gone!
"...Macy’s didn’t press charges in those cases."
What is the point in pursuing charges when you know that Foxx will dismiss the case? Stores are between a rock and a hard place; why waste the resources knowing the outcome will net you nothing?
Besides, they can always pass the cost onto you.
That, and “That's reparations. That is reparations. Anything they want to take, take it because these businesses have insurance. They're going to get their money back. My people aren't getting anything.”

Macy’s, you deserve what you get. Armed offenders and you don’t call police. I hope you go bankrupt. Idiots.
Why does Macy's even bother having security if they won't press charges when someone's caught emptying the shelves? Why do they bother calling police if they won't press charges? Shit like this is why I laugh like hell when virtue signalling white liberals get beat down, robbed, carjacked etc...etc... This goes double for big box corporate retail. Fuck em. You voted for and donated money to politicians who not only allow but encourage this shit so now you can stew in it.
Jeff Bezos (Amazon) would not tolerate such shit.
A buck is a buck and Amazon "plans" their quarters
five years out into the future. Ain't no punks with bats
gonna put a dent in their bottom line. Curious as to
where they stole the bats. That's right, stole. You don't
expect criminals to buy the tools of their trade do you?
We need to let some "pervert teams" out for a day of
change of scenery and a little fresh air. Scare the pants
off the "shoplifting teams." Wanna bet they frantically
call 911 to report some old blood touching them up?
Well Sonny, what was your batting average? I used to
play the game myself back in the day. All the guys called
me 'Babe'.
He/her/them is about to change his/her/them lives around
Peaceful looting is discount shopping 1984
Then they wonder why their business is losing money. Come on in and take what you want, our security guards will watch you steal it and if real police stop you we will not press charges. Macy's sure knows what good customer service is. Well soon the 8 floors of Macy's at Water tower will be closed. What happens to mall Then? Huge anchor tenant leaving never to be replaced. Give it two years before mall forced into some other type of business model. Writing is on the wall. Nordstrom better either make plans to close or beef up security they will be next on Wilding hit list. Police will not do anything to stop the community teens other than escort them back to free public transportation with all their stolen merchandise. Just keep each trip under Kids $1,000 threshold and you have noting to worry about.
Most large retailers won’t press charges
Wonder how long before other Mag Mile merchants follow Macy's lead?
LOL why is Macy's paying for security guards in the first place if they are so easily intimidated and then refusing to press Charges? Your right they deserve what they get.
Justice will consist of watching some videos if he bothers to show up at all. Sorry but any policing is dead in Chicago. If taking cars at gun point is no longer a crime how long before any and all murders will be declared not a criminal action but a criminal right for resisting them. They have a right to take what is yours and you have no right to prevent that. That is exactly where this all going. Self defense or resisting will be judged to be the criminal act. Kim has a mandate you know and this will be the end game, think I am kidding just wait.
Crime is continuing to get worse. Game over.
Maybe, some strong, muscular security similar looking to NFL Players Rob Gronkowski, Matthew Stafford and others with a shoot to kill order might help.
You only embolden them to USE the bats next time. What a bunch of dumb cucks. They will get someone killed.
An armed guard or two in that store should cure that problem!
And what's wrong with Macy's security just arresting that jagbag for CTTL upon entering the store? Surely they have served him with a 'never come back or be arrested' warning. Why not enforce it?
Hard to believe the brass on this young man, with sqauds sitting in the middle of the street directly in front of Water Tower Place with blue lights running.
So uh, we wildin’ dis Thanksgivin’ or what???
The liberals got what they voted for obamas wilding honor students and BurnLootMurder.
Why would they press charges with a $1k threshold for prosecution? They will lose more paying OT for a guard to take the shift of the one in court, plus pay that guy.
I'm betting against it (jail time). Petty career criminals go to work everyday just like honest plumbers or electricians do.
I’m glad the CWB linked article showed the offender. Lord knows most other Chicago rags wouldn’t dare show what race is committing the crime if they’re anything but white.
It also made it easier for me to find Darien’s photo on Facebook, holding a semi auto handgun
https://m.facebook.com/darien.green.39/posts/picfp.100030071324846/?photo_id=359847248360983&mds=%2Fphotos%2Fviewer%2F%3Fphotoset_token%3Dpicfp.100030071324846%26photo%3D359847248360983%26profileid%3D100030071324846%26source%3D69%26refid%3D17%26cached_data%3Dtrue%26ftid&mdp=1&mdf=1
What a loser.
Best outcome, he's out on bond and tries his shit with a ccl holder. Do you hear that Mr Green, it's the sound of inevitability.
Why doesn’t downtown Macy’s just hire these low-life’s? Father Faker is always wailing about ‘kids’ needing opportunities and Hope. They can become Macy’s employers, then just let their crew shoplift whatever they like.
Happy Holidays!
Macy's will be leaving Water Tower Place; I guess they don't even care anymore.
I never had much sympathy anyway after they cheapened up Marshall Field's.
Fuck Macys and any other stores that wont sign complaints. Dont call us assholes if you wont sign, simple as that.
Chicago. Where thieves go. So low.
Keep in mind those are the only times he was caught. Imagine how many times he committed crimes and simply wasn’t caught or where the alleged victim didn’t “press charges.”
Now there’s a job qualification for you. “Must be able to keep a good eye on shoplifters”.
Wonder what the starting salary is for this once in a lifetime job.
Better yet just go take what you need and f the job.
C'mon Folks! Be positive! Certainly, there is a job somewhere in society for this young lad. Maybe The dumbfuck from Dallas can have him in his office to practice "trust falls" or some role-playing in regards to nurturing.
I wonder if anyone has produced a paper on prison rape and recidivism.
I could use a new winter coat too, maybe this weekend when I get detailed downtown I’ll stop in, while in uniform, and help myself to a new coat too.
Wonder if the outcome will be the same for me?
Macy's is nuts for not having them arrested. Wal-Mart prosecuted ANY & ALL theft OVER $25.00. That's a fact jack!
Can't wait for this spring and summer. Downtown Shitago will be a ghost town. Who is going to shop at a store where they feel uncomfortable with armed thugs roaming unchecked???
I would not try that at Binnys.
Just downtown yesterday for a financial reason. The streets are scary......black nationalists paying no heed to traffic laws while riding hoopty divvy bikes smelling like weed. There is no way to get this city back other than with 0 tolerance.....full scale arrests that will require trr's.
America
Appears to be pillars of the community doing what they do best wreak havoc same shit different pile
Is that an armed robbery NOT shoplifting? anywhere but Crook County
they let hoodlums with BASEBALL BATS INTO the store???
Hot damn......wish I was young again......
All that Xmas shopping I did downtown years ago when I PAID for my shit!
What a dumb fuck I was!
But then again, if I came home with presents and prizes my dad knew I
didn’t have the money for, HE would have not only kicked my ass, he would
have made me return it! Because that’s what REAL PARENTS DO!
Now we want to blame Macy's for not pressing charges??? Tell us again what is the States Attorney's policy on shoplifting??? If the SA's office is just going to dismiss any charges why would the store authorize their agents to sign any charges??? This is why you get repeat cases of bold-assed stealing over and over.
This is what anarchy looks like.
You wonder why these stores keep their Mag Mile locations open.
I wish these two asshole came in my store threatening me with a bat. End result is Mr Greene and his companion would look like Swiss cheese.

Places like Macy’s, Targets and Walgreens can’t lock up every thug and thief (unless they’re armed) coming into their stores all day everyday. There is not enough police downtown (or anywhere) to handle all these arrests and mental transports. If they choose not to prosecute, they are allowing the a district to have at least one car available to code all the bs jobs and be there for necessary back up. It shouldn’t be this way but it’s the reality with the intentional shrinking of our numbers. 001 has always been short. But not like it is now. Crime through the roof. Those outside units are for show. A deterrence. All they do is call for paper cars if they on view anything. They have their assignments. I’ll bet those P.O.s trapped at 311 rarely get a break with all those call in reports. If anyone even reports crime anymore. Crime is King. No prosecution. No protection. Here’s your ticket. You’re free to go and try again. You now have the rest of your night to continue while the beat car is down for 2-3 hours doing the reports generated from this Event. God Bless Law Enforcement Officers. It’s a dangerous and disrespected position. More than ever these days. Get your rest and enjoy your last days off. Holiday looting season starts soon. Let your families know, we’ll see them after the Holiday season and inauguration. The orders are coming out shortly. RIP Lupe. Zone 10’s Guardian angel.
Macy’s claiming big losses due to DemoCovidic lockdowns.
They didn’t mention rioting, lootings and general pilferage by the feral unwashed unemployable. Either they raise the prices for the paying folk or the fold to Dollar General-Shoo Bazaar outlets. Some business model end-all.
Revenues down 36% and shares losing 47%, one has to wonder what’s going on at the two stores here in downtown Sanctuary City. There’s simply not enough steel cable to lockup all merchandise the snatching feral target.
Big on social justice.
The store policy is probably in line with the rest of the retail merchants...let’m go so they don’t cause more problems. Makes an easy day for KmmFxxxUp and the lazy, compliant assistants.
Look, here’s the deal...
The New World Order and new normals commission has a plan that is eventually going to eliminate all going outdoors and all in-store shopping, everything is going to be strictly online for home delivery and maybe in select areas, drive-thru pickup only. Of course returns will be limited to a take it or leave it attitude. Supply will have limits too. Welcome to socialism, they’re just warming up.
Prosecution and Jail are not acceptable communitay options.
Forget that blue light special/first on the scene/check off with a CB for-the-boss malarkey.
Stay fetal.
Macy’s actually has a good loss prevention team and always cooperates with CPD unlike many of the other merchants.
And if a private citizen finally beats the pulp out of Mr. Green, guess who is going to jail?
Don't ever shop downtown. The inflated prices you pay are to cover the costs of "activists" smashing windows, destroying displays, stealing merchandise, and spray painting ACAB on the walls while they put up BLM posters and refuse to press charges. Do not let them pass the costs of liberalism on to you.
Macy’s should have left it as Marshall Fields.
Really miss the old downtown Chicago...especially at Christmas.
I won’t be back, ONLY because of the savages running wild.
The little punk in the mug shot has his left eye closed.
Is this some sort of gang sign? (No bruising was visible)
What's the most defiant behavior you have ever witnessed
in a mug shot?
We've got a retail jewelry store in the burbs. We've found on the rare occasion that we've needed them that the local police dept is beyond engaged and effective, and that the State's Atty is f()cking useless.
We will press charges, show up at court, pin them to the floor with a harpoon gun until help arrives. if Macy's is not pressing charges, then their loss-prevention folks need to just walk.
Macy’s believes in reparations than ups the price on paying customers. Good riddance Macy’s. You suck anyways. Marshall Field’s was always nicer from the products to the Green Awnings. You been in any of their stores lately? They put little money into the store fixtures. Most Macy’s look tired & dated. I hope you go out of business and any other store that refuses to prosecute while passing the buck onto the customer that pays.
Why don’t Macy’s and other stores that refuse to prosecute just set up some system...kind of like the ones they corral cattle into, press a button when you see them coming, funnel them into an area provided with cheap tacky shit from past seasons at marked up prices or with branding written all over it, let them have at it, clear it and then funnel them out of the store.
This is why I shop at Goodwill or Thrift stores. Tired of paying for marked up shit (that the permanent victim class assumes everyone with a job has & can afford so they “is” entitled to it by stealing it). I’ve worked too hard and enough dirty jobs to justify being angry at being called “privileged” and I refuse to pay inflated retail prices from corporations who suck up to this shit.
Don’t shop at Macy’s because they pass along the losses to the honest consumer. ♠️
I am not going to pay higher prices on everything to cover Macy's SUBSIDY to "the community."
Walgreens does the same - letting people ride in on an electric scooter, snap open a big bag, fill it with merchandise, and go whirring out the door.
Repeat, repeat, repeat until the store closes, making things hard on honest local residents - and the employees lose their jobs too.
Animals strolling around in there with bats, decent people should just stay out anyway.
It is demonstrably unsafe to shop at Macy's.
The Juvenile was sent to the JISC where the Commander immediately gave him a back rub and told him that it wasn't his fault. She then got a CR# on all Officers involved for being mean.

Very true .. there is a ghetto looter's tax built in for Mag Mile ,State Street stores... No more shopping there for me
I was about to come down hard on these young lads, but now realize they were on their way to a pick-up softball game in Grant Park. It warms the soul to see these fine young men participating in our national pastime.
This is why there was a Mafia in the first place. Someone should sell these goofs protection, as they can't seem to stand up straight on their own.

Are you Mister Yesterday? Or, Mister Yesteryear? Or, better yet, you are Mister Yestercentury
You either just awakened from a long, long snooze or you do not bother to keep current with SCC. Whichever, your solutions no longer apply. It is Year 2020, not Year 1980. The whole law enfocement field has changed. It is now all about restorative justice, not law enforcement. Besides, these offenders don't care if s security guard is armed or if a squad car is nearby, they know the victim business is not going to have one of their people sign a complaint and, even if they did, they know they will be cut loose in court.
Does Macy's give a free pass to all shoplifters regardless of race or only to 'disadvantaged' urban youth?
I'm asking seriously bcuz I will never set foot in one again.
Macy's garish red represents the spilled blood of honest citizens.
Ironic, I was at Macy's (Woodfield) today and purchased two coats. Wonder if Crimesha would have sprung an old white woman had I opted for a 5 finger discount?
I did spot an undercover security guy. Seems what was chirping like a bird was some sort of sensor for the coats. He was looking trying to figure out where the noise was coming from too.
These SOB's downtown are going to have these stores vacating the Loop pretty soon.
Woodfield was pretty dead for a Friday afternoon. The coats were all marked 60% off, so the retail sector is hurting big time.
Wonder if they could hit a 900 feet per second fastball?
Saw a great story (sarcasm) on the news tonight. Showing the plywood board ups on downtown store windows being painted with festive holiday "art." Glad my grandma isn't around to see that. She loved taking us kids downtown at Christmas time to see the beautiful window displays. How far we have fallen as a civilization.....
Thank you SCC for running this story. I read about it on CWB Chicago and wrote in here about it, as did other readers, I'm sure. I live in Near North and was appalled at this story. This is the same Macy's that cried out for extra police resources from the city? Shouldn't the neighborhood that hosts this store get some say in Macy's decisions? I definitely would have wanted charges pursued the first time--and had I been in the store at the time, or in the atrium, and had seen the men with baseball bats, I would have immediately gone outside to flag down a police officer. As someone wrote above, there are always one or two cars in that block or the next one north, with their blue lights on. Also I think there have been Illinois state troopers in the Water Tower Place atrium for years now.
Let's riot for Thanksgiving! The new "social contract" - police may not shoot a black man even if he has a loaded gun and is refusing police orders.
Omaha cops arrest multiple protesters in violent clashes during demonstration over armed black man who was shot and killed by police after refusing to get out of his friend's car
Make these two changes to your dictionary - delete "justifiable" and replace "looting" with "reparations."

The Feds getting some executions in while they still can. Here's some dirt playing "The World Is Mine," eliminating drug rivals one after another, but he "can't function."
"Prosecutors said he killed seven people in in an attempt to expand the territory of a Richmond, Virginia, gang and silence informants. His co-defendants James H. Roane Jr. and Richard Tipton, members of same drug gang, are also on death row.
"Johnson's lawyers argue their client is intellectually disabled, and thus it would be unconstitutional to put him to death. The Supreme Court has held that it is unlawful to execute a person who is of such a low intelligence that they can´t function in society."

shopping malls in suburbs are pretty dead. I would not go downtown or to Gold Coast this season no matter how much they discount product. I would guess that many stores will close for good in January, after hanging on for Christmas hoping things will get better.
We will press charges, show up at court, pin them to the floor with a harpoon gun until help arrives. if Macy's is not pressing charges, then their loss-prevention folks need to just walk.

MNot only Macy's but some other large stores, Best Buy in particular. Security there will not put hands on a shoplifter.
I never went to Wharton, Harvard, Yale, Chicago or Princeton Business school.
Had a Basic Business class in the City Junior College.
But a business plan where the public can enter, take whatever they want and leave without paying for it doesn't sound like a good sustainable business plan to me.
I don't mind him being let go. Trying, convicting and incarcerating him is a burden on society and the chances of rehabilitation are less than zero. Reasonably soon someone will shoot him and that will be it.
Macy's will swear up and down they'll come to court.
"It's different this time," they'll say.
"I promise to be better, just please lock this person up!"
It's a one-sided, abusive relationship for the POs on 001. We try to walk away, but we always come back for more.
Dollar General, check cashing joints, and Popeye's chicken will be coming to Mag Mile.
Don't think it won't happen? In Minneapolis, Dollar General is opening on Nicollet Mall (the main drag) in downtown Minneapolis. Downtown Minneapolis has lost all their nicer retail stores over the recent years. About the only retail left is a Target Store downtown, and that's become a shoplifter's paradise.
The few office workers going downtown nowadays are accosted by roving bands of young thugs.
I don't have much sympathy for the Minneapolis residents, they re-elected the American-hating, brother-marrying terrorist supporter Omar with about 70% of the vote, instead of a very good Republican candidate for the House of Representatives.
I spend half the year in Mpls and half the year in Chicago, and both cities have the same problems and the same idiot Democrats running each city.
What a coincidence. Once more, story proving no danger from tHuG lIfE with ball bats. None at all.
Trump administration orders federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for MS-13 gang leader, 24, charged in connection to 7 murders - including teen best friends who were brutally beaten with baseball bats
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8973103/Trump-administration-orders-federal-prosecutors-seek-death-penalty-MS-13-gang-leader.html
So why bother locking the doors? Just leave them open, and let them take whatever!
If Macy's won't prosecute, make it a 311 job. Phone report only.
STAR CHAMBER. It's the only way.
I heard also that a group showed up at a downtown steak house. This was awhile ago. They ate like pigs and refuse to pay the bill. They claimed this was “reparations “ and there was no need to pay. They told the manager” don’t call the police or we will come back and tear the place up”. . The manager let them walk out. Gotta love urbanites in Chicago.

Just like Columbia hoodtrash BLM art on their boarded up store front. Na... I'm happy seeing this crap destroy downtown and Chicago in general. Get poor, get fucked, get stupid and most importantly get wrecked by the BLM hoodtrash you support. They get what they paid for, voted for, hoodtrash.
A female friend who works in an outlet mall told me that she and her co-workers are not allowed to call the police if they witness shoplifting, which now regularly includes gangs flooding the stores and grabbing up armfuls of merchandise as well as the prosaic type. She is instructed, instead, to approach shoplifters and "offer them customer service." Direct quote. Only her manager may call the police, and only then after calling corporate to get permission. Gangs seem to know which of these national chains are instructing employees to 'offer customer service' to criminals and which allow employees to call the police, and they hit the same chains in multiple malls. My friend sees shoplifting nearly every day she works; her manager is afraid to report it up, and employees in different stores in the region are not allowed to share information about the robbing gangs.
These stores are setting themselves up for fat lawsuits by employees when injury or death (or even ptsd) occurs. And they deserve it richly. Some imaginative trial lawyer should really make a go of it.
Downtown is for all intensive purposes done. Nobody will risk shopping there, tourists have and will stop coming. Mentally ill and combative savages are the norm now. When the kids from winetka, Barrington etc.. sell their condos and move back, this place will be a ghost town. Congratulations to politicians, clergy and all the anti police people for destroying a once vibrant downtown city. Let them steal whatever they want. And if someone goes down there wanting to visit and gets beaten and robbed, you should have done your homework.
