Retail crime is not “petty” when shops are swarmed, staff are assaulted, and police are attacked. When outrage feels selective, trust collapses.

Why does the response feel so uneven?

Nevada congresswomen introduce bill to make organized retail crime a federal offense A Nevada congresswoman has introduced legislation that would make organized retail crime a federal offense.

As Organized #RetailCrime undoubtedly affects #interstatecommerce, it is certainly within the scope of federal concerns and justifies this legislation. It may not trigger the action of federal authorities, but the potential is there.
