What does it matter even if they steal all of the products? With no police, who is going to stop anyone from stealing?
What these idiots dont seem to understand is that if a dishonest person steals it, you, the honest person, cant buy it. So, go ahead and get those products out in the open and you can buy them the same time I buy Lysol.
Many places let criminals go without bail due to unfairness of the old system. Others have people suspicious of police or outright hostile to them and ready to pounce on any element of an arrest that seems racist or harsh.
Due to Covid concerns, thousands of convicted prisoners are let out of prisons. Wal Mart not locking up valuable small items any more. One or more police stations burned and not replaced.
Some looted stores ("hundreds" in NYC one night alone) did not have anyone challenging the looters all night. Police budgets gutted or totally defunded. One area has Antifa banning police.
This is the golden age of crime.
Somewhere gangsters of the Untouchables era and later are saying "I was born too soon. Darn."
