San Francisco’s Union Square, the high-end shopping district at the center of the city, is boarding up for the Christmas shopping season after a string of “mass looting” events that began on the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Normally, Union Square is festive and bright in December. Its giant Christmas tree and menorah attract visitors from across the region, as does its outdoor ice skating rink. Situated alongside the city’s famous cable car, it is an oasis of prosperity in a gritty downtown.
However, this year is different, as the San Francisco Chronicle reports:
As San Francisco approached the critical December shopping month, instead of holiday lights and Santa Claus decorations, dozens of downtown retailers greeted shoppers with plywood-encased storefronts and armed guards in the wake of mass retail thefts in Union Square two weeks ago.
Around a half-dozen stores in the Union Square area were boarded up on Tuesday, including the Louis Vuitton store and others that sustained damage during the robberies. Other luxury stores such as Gucci, which Mayor London Breed said had an existing security gate system and wasn’t damaged in previous robberies, had a guard outside as well.
It’s a stark contrast from previous years when December in Union Square was marked by windows full of holiday ornamentation and the seasonal enticement of products that could fit under Christmas trees.

Wait until these mass gangs figure out that a full FedEx truck probably has a lot of cool stuff in it.

There is no such thing as evolution of mankind, merely entropy of the body and spirit.
I like HD as well. All those boarded up stores reminded me of the lumber section at HD!
Christmas is about God
Christmas is the enemy

Fixed. Also, for those who say, “They voted for it”... Did they? Who really knows anymore? Our elections are a corrupt joke.
