Moms for Liberty school board member busted for shoplifting from Target

A right-wing Tennessee school board member backed by the Moms for Liberty group has been arrested on shoplifting charges.

Keri Blair, who was elected in November 2022 following a campaign against tolerant "social agendas," is accused of stealing items from Target seven times between Nov. 25 and Dec. 20, reported WATN-TV.

The 43-year-old Blair was booked Jan. 5 and charged with theft of property less than $1,000, and she was released on $7,500 bond.

Police say Blair stole nearly $730 worth of merchandise by "skip-scanning" items at the store's self checkout.

This would never have happened. People can’t be trusted. It’s sad.

Of course I didn't think they liked Ménage à trois either.

At least they are pure hypocrites. Everything they preach is a lie.

8. Skip scanning is when someone "forgets" they have something in their cart

At the checkout. If there's no one to look at or in the cart, they just walk out.
A rent mate who used to work retail while going to college says most times it was someone who put diapers, drink cases or those big food multi-packs under the cart and no one noticed while they went through the line.
Nowadays, they have cameras and AI to track "forgot it in the cart" shopping. Even if someone thinks they doing something clever, there's always tape.
