These videos are from two recent incidents. Both happened in California, which almost never prosecutes shoplifters. Each of these videos shows a large number of organized shoplifters stealing a large amount of merchandise.
I don’t support this kind of behavior. But if that’s what the voters of California want, then I have to respect their choice, no matter how ridiculous I think it is.

Agree 100%, with the additional rule, that anyone who voted for them must stay in California.
In a couple years, they’ll be declaring Los Angeles “a Gucci desert.”
President Trump will be laughing at them, before of a crowd of furious reporters.
Wanna stop bad behavior? Institute old fashion western Justice. If I were California governor, the first thing I would do is open Alcatraz. No tv. Concurrently, order cops and DAs to arrest and convict bad guys. Approve CC and allow citizens to shoot looters and carjackers. Crime would drop like a stone.
does not seem equitable
or sustainable
The Christmas Season should be fun. Think of all the procrastinators who keep putting it off and have to do all their Christmas stealing at the last minute.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If Trump can prove allegations of desperate, elite Democrats stealing elections to be true, then shoplifting is what elite Democrats want, probably not what ignored California voters want.
Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to get ready ASAP to support Trump campaign by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG Gaetz (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
Your opinion does not matter. Local business and others their opinions do matter for this part of “reparation” to work
We should certainly have as many videos like this as possible in the can for the 2024 elections. If the Red Squad pubbies would use them, the DemocRats should get only manufactured votes at the election. Voting Democrat in 2024 should be like buying Bud Lite today.
No. You don’t.
Season's Beatings!
All those Amish and not a horse and buggy in sight
I’m not so sure anyone “votes for this” any more.
At least half of people are below average IQ, but they don’t vote for more crime. They also aren’t smart enough to put 2+2 together with Woke-Dems and crime
but more important, California’s electoral systems are so gerrymandered, manipulated and rigged with early voting, no ID voting, mail-in ballots, unclean voter rolls, walk-up registration, etc... Even if a large majority were angry enough to make radical change - the state and the Left would somehow nullify it.
So when we go to San Francisco, should we be sure to do some shoplifting there?
Stores won’t suffer losses for long.
“If that’s what the voters wanted...”
I’m guessing the doofus doesn’t really grasp the concept behind a Constitutional Republic.

Soon to be available for purchase on ebay, Amazon, etc.
I don’t understand why this is still going on. The voters had a recall election and got rid of the ultraleftist prosecutor Chesa Boudin who spearheaded these stupid non-prosecution policies, got themselves a new top prosecutor, and these policies of excusing thefts under $900 continued.
Given this colossally monumental lack of law enforcement, it’s only logical that the thieves would organize and make a bigger profit than doing the robberies piece by piece. They are not stealing bread loaves and diapers; they are stealing profitable luxury items to sell. This is Dickensian, without the workhouses.
