That guy isn't just flipping stolen goods, he is providing an outlet for a bunch of people to go through the downtown Target and clear it out, those people often get into altercations with people who work at that Target and even customers like me. Oh, "did my kid look at that homeless guy (actively stealing Legos in the toy section) wrong?" is not something most parents want to deal with.

We'd like our city back please.

You're not really saying much. I also don't want someone to steal legos, that isn't a controversial statement.

People that fence goods are the reason shoplifting is viable. I think that is obvious, and why it shouldn't be allowed (and should be prosecuted).
