Watch: SNAP Recipients Promise to Loot and Steal If Benefits Run Dry

Not only is today, Wednesday, the 29th day of the Schumer Shutdown, it's also t-minus three days until the government-run Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) runs out of money. Were Senate Democrats to allow that to happen by not voting for the clean continuing resolution (CR) bill that has already passed in the House of Representatives, as many as 40 million Americans who rely on SNAP could struggle to put food on the table. 

And, now, many SNAP recipients are threatening to loot and steal from retailers if they don't get their money on November 1. Online agitators are joining in and actively encouraging those on food stamps to commit crimes.

But, wait, there's more. This has all led to something called No Snitch November, where Americans are encouraged to turn a blind eye to any stealing, looting, or violence they see going on in stores because that's apparently how leftists think you show sympathy? Perhaps this movement should instead be called Any Reason to Riot.

I first noticed talk of an impending SNAP-related crime wave when a Washington, D.C.-based crime reporter warned that "next week could be hell for retailers" if the benefits don't show up on time. The account linked to a video of a man encouraging recipients to go to their local grocery store, such as Publix or Walmart, and "steal all their s**t." 

There is now an entire X account dedicated to tracking all the threats being made to ransack businesses and fight anyone who tries to stop the mayhem. We'll give you a taste, but be forewarned that there's plenty of salty, NSFW language used by the "hungry" hordes.

Dmitri Bolt from our sister site Townhall tracked down some additional threats being made.

“I’ma tell y’all straight up like this, I just got that text that the link is definitely cut the f**k off for November. Y’all better stay the f**k out of my way in these stores because I’m walking out with carts and I’m not paying for s**t,” one SNAP recipient raged.

Another said, “You know what? Since they wanna take food stamps away, I’m gonna go to f**king Walmart, grab anything I damn want, put that s**t right in the basket and walk right up out that b**h … I’m not paying for a damn thing.”

As an aside – and an important one at that – the reason October SNAP benefits were issued on the first of the month, despite the government shutdown starting at midnight on September 30, is because the Trump administration redirected $300 million in unspent tariff revenue to help fund the program. Had this factoid actually been reported by the media, maybe we would have seen these same people taking to social media to thank the Trump administration? I kid, I kid.

Some states have taken measures to ensure its residents who rely on food stamps aren't left with empty refrigerators and bare pantries. Here in Virginia, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin has declared a state of emergency and announced the creation of the Virginia Emergency Nutrition Assistance (VENA) initiative to dispense food assistance in seven-day increments. Additionally, $1 million in state funds will be provided to food banks in order to help counter the loss of SNAP benefits. For the record, both of Virginia's Democrat senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, have repeatedly voted to keep the government shut down. 

(Incidentally, RedState's Bob Hoge did a nice rundown of the fallout from Day 29 of the shutdown, including the fact that the Congressional Budget Office is now saying that fourth quarter real gross domestic product, or GDP, numbers will be lower than expected thank to Senate Democrats.

Thanks to Chuck Schumer and his fellow Senate Democrats, we’re on a collision course with chaos in aisle five. Be careful out there, friends.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
