For John, BLUF: Some of us in this Republic are sensing a rise in petty crimes, which turn out to be not only be a tax on the law abiding, but an encourgement to those living on the margin to go to the petty crime side, accellerting a bad cycle and destroying civilization, at first slowly and then more quickly. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus four:
A Dunkin’ customer has revealed the surprising reason why some stores have height charts on the door.The fact that they exist is pretty mundane. The fact that they are proliferating, and folkls are picking up on them is disturbing.Earlier this month, a TikTok user named Jocelyn, who goes by the username @officialjuice93, posted a video from inside a Dunkin’ location.
In the clip, Jocelyn wrote: “Tell me your Dunkin has been robbed with out [sic] telling me they’ve been robbed… I’ll go first.”
The video then pans over to the entrance of the store, where there are lines with height markers up the side of the door.
Those height markers are intended to help employees and other witnesses gauge the height of any possible criminals, according to a 2012 report from Slate.
White House Press Secretary notwithstanding, crime is on the rise and impacking the non-criminal majority. Given the proliforation of George Soros backed District Attornies, it turns out that the rise in criminality is now an indirect tax on the Middle Class and he poor. For example, in Denver, Business Owner Derek Friedman is impostng a 1% Denver Crime Spike Fee on all purchases at his stores.
How can a business sustain a high pilferage rate except by boosting prices? One might ask if this is the entrance to an ever-expanding cycle of shoplifting and price increases, as more and more people find themselves priced out of the market and resort to shoplifing for their needs.
