..I have absolutely no evidence as to the veracity or lack thereof of this. But it is funny in its own way.
I'm actually offended by the implication that white people did almost 1/4 of the shoplifting. Although the article didn't mention whether there is any black or asian population, which might've explained it. Still, it can hardly be called a racist article since it left the whites holding the bag for all that litter and stealing that wasn't cured by getting rid of the hispanics.
Total bullshit. But white people sure do luv this stuff. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/shoplift.asp
Victoria? Yea, I can see it going down just as described and further yet am amused at not only the outcome but the style of presentation and wording selected by the paper. A quick search however finds it, according to the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, to be a hoax. Snopes also claims it as such. The print pic there however warrants further investigation as to it's true origin though so off I go. It's so Onionesque.
I knew it was horseshit before reading that you folks had Snopesed it. I have friends and family who live there.
I knooow dat be right! I've known some pretty damn good vatos over the years, but the stereotypical concepts are so eloquently covered with the exception of the afternoon siesta.
Actually, the ones most likely to follow such a stupid boycott are the "untidy criminals." The smart ones know enough to look for the best bargain and buy it. I'm curious though are you denying the statistics because they don't match your warped view of life?
THEN DON'T POST IT. Prefacing your idiotic posts with statements like that (and this is far from the first time) doesn't make them any less moronic.
It's called fun and comedy you twit. If anyone posts shit that has no veracity, it's you an your leftist bunch.
If I ever start a thread going "HEY I WAS AT THE SHOPS AND OVERHEARD SOME PEOPLE TALKING AND DIDN'T QUITE HEAR WHAT THEY WERE SAYING AND THEY WERE LAUGHING SO IT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN A JOKE ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE HEADPHONES ON AND THE LAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SONG I WAS LISTENING TO AT THE TIME OR MAYBE SOME OF THE WORDS I THOUGHT THEY SAID COULD HAVE BEEN BACKING LYRICS BUT ANYWAY IT SEEMS THAT [insert standard Midnight Funeral racist jab here]!" then feel free to be the first to call me out on it.
I knew it before I even got to the end of it, from the "Shoppers reported they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the community for the first time in recent memory" line. Such an over-the-top, Onionesque exaggeration gave it away completely. I had already found it very suspicious, but that one put an end to all doubt.
:google: There is no fucking excuse for this kind of ignorance on the internet. You knew. You knew and wanted to troll and did even though as a troll it sucked like the black hole in the center of this galaxy or you at a border truckstop men's room. Get better. Your shtick is lame as fuck.
