[...] three people went into the store to shoplift items, and, at the time, three employees were inside. Investigators say punches were thrown and the store was looted. Injuries were minor. About $50,000 in merchandise was stolen.

Anybody else see a "disconnect" here? How can anyone, after the fact, refer to this as a "shoplifting?" Assault and battery are more-commonly associated with robberies. Further, I should think that stealing $50,000 worth of merchandise would qualify it as "grand theft."

how much merchandise did the gimme generation steal during the riots committed by the domestic terrorists antifa and blm?

I think if they got in and made off with $50k in merchandise, they weren’t just some meth heads, they had to have skill. And an probably an inside job element.

It’s California. Shoplifting anything under $950 is a misdemeanor.
