Once you decriminalize a crime, eventually you get devoured by the monster you helped create.
They voted for all of this.
It’s called Third Worldization!:
It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization.
The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst.
In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Violent crime is now soaring in America. But two things are different about America’s new criminality.
• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.
• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.
So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020:
“Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”
Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

So, Forget It, Jake! Relax! It’s Now, Not Your Town!
You voted for this B$!!! Even, If you didn’t, it doesn’t matter! Your vote has not counted nor been counted for decades, if ever.
Californian problems.....bad thing is that people will flee to Arizona, Nevada and Texas.
I find this mildly amusing.
“I was safer, and had more money, (selling) on the street, illegally.”
I’ve heard a lot of people say that, actually. One guy said he just started his “legal weed” business - a hassle because taxes and regulations - because it made it that much easier to sell the illegal.
Decriminalization isn’t the answer: It’s just a scam to get the government involved in selling dope. At this point, I doubt whether making weed completely legal - to grow, buy, sell, distribute, roll in, etc - would be the answer because the criminal/gangster element is now so entrenched.
Why go to the pot store (usually located in seedy neighborhoods) when you can have weed delivered to your home quickly and at a cheaper price than the clubs?
A pot club is a robbery waiting to happen.
Keep the larceny under a $grand a pop and you’re golden.

For some reason I find that funny.
Is nothing sacred anymore!?
One would think the leftists in government would want more police protections for their marijuana business shops since they get a hefty % of sales tax extortions from the sales.
Willie Sutton would approve, rob where the cash is. Let them take credit cards and this would end right away.
Who didn’t see this coming?
Like any other business (in San Francisco).
I’m sure the raids would stop if the thieves found out the merch isn’t insured.
WHAT?? Drug legalization was going to end drug crime. This can’t be right.
“New rash of California marijuana robberies threaten survival of businesses
this smash and grab shite is getting SERIOUS!

“(Why do you rob banks, Willie?) Because that’s where the money is.”
If I ever decided to smoke pot again I just grow my own. But the only thing that will convince me to start smoking it again would be a cancer diagnosis.
