Just like Durban.
Same issue, I presume.
Since it’s TJ Maxx, are they charged by the ticket price of the goods or the ‘comparable value” price printed above that?
Just a misdemeanor, what the heck! I deserve these reparations!
I grew up within walking distance of this. TJ Max was not there at the time.
Commiefornians voted for this lawless behavior; they can have it. And Commiefornia businesses will just pass on the cost of “shrinkage” to their Commiefornia customers.
Needed new clothes for their girlfriends
It’s a two-fer really. A misdemeanor still carries a potential 1 year jail sentence. But the DAs don’t prosecute them, and for stealing $900 worth of stuff is it really worth it to the taxpayers to pay for food, shelter, medical care etc for a year?
For the most part my impression is that these are organized theft rings. The ringleaders could face felony charges for racketeering among other crimes.
Of course in most cases these items are just being resold on various platforms or to brick and mortar small shops who may or may not know they are stolen items. I suppose any person who goes on a “spree” stealing $900 or less many times over and reselling them could also face more serious charges. IANAL but it doesn’t seem on its face to be an easy case to make. Some DA somewhere has to bust someone engaged in this activity to make the point - at a minimum.
“...the state’s efforts to address crime and reduce retail theft.”
If it isn’t illegal then it isn’t theft and it isn’t a crime - problem solved.
It’s all good. It’s what they voted for.
Where I live we’re allowed to shoot nuisance animals 24/7 no license needed.
When your lawmakers pass a law that says you aren’t going to prosecute theft below a certain dollar figure and then you’re surprise when shoplifting increases tells me you’re an idiot.
Is Merrick Garland going to stop these Nazi white supreemists or not?
Ah, so Satan’s children continue their terrorist tactics of destruction, grand theft, and all kinds of evil behavior absolutely unabated.
......Meanwhile, the democrats look the other way and shout lies about “white racism.”
Sounds like a typical day in Crime City, CA.
I was shopping at a store in Century City decades ago when I witnessed exactly the same thing. I went and told a clerk to call the police and she told me, “we know they do that. No way to stop them. Costs more to prosecute than the loss we take on clothes.:”
Any difference between these thieves and looters?
I'll bet the 'shoplifters' democrats...
I'll bet the 'shoplifters' are democrats...
I wonder if TJ Maxx or it is parent company contributed to BLM and how much?
Another bad thing about S. CA, is when s**t really hits the fan, there is no way out. The roads and freeways will be dead gridlocked. Millions will run out of gas in a biblical traffic nightmare. The only way to get out would be if you got the jump on it. Even then, it would be very iffy.
