Governor Abbott, are the dozens of Walmart stores that have closed in Texas in recent years all communities that "refuse to enforce the rule of law?" The retail industry is changing and retail theft is a national issue.
Quote Tweet
All Portland Walmart stores to permanently close in late March.
This is what happens when cities refuse to enforce the rule of law.
It allows the mob to take over.
Businesses can't operate in that environment, and people can't live in it.
