Horrifying surveillance footage shows the moment a gang of hammer-wielding thugs swiped upward of $110,000 in jewelry from a California mall.

Nine men stormed a San Jose shopping center January 3 and began smashing glass display cases at three stores as terrified employees ran for cover.

Never take a sledgehammer to a gunfight.

Oh...California? Never mind.

[Vaduz]

And city hall

Nothing shocking about it. It’s what happens when the Marxist take over.

[libh8er]

Why is it shocking ?

[blueunicorn6]

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are just too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to prison.

[eyeamok]

Finally these minority yutes get back to work practicing thier chosen profession, and everyone is complaining?? What Gives? You either want them working or you don’t, which is it?

[taxcontrol]

One 9mm and a high capacity magazine would have easily prevented the armed robbery.

Yep, crime is running amuck due to little or no prosecutions.

[SMARTY]

It’s the wild, wild west!

[brownsfan]

It’s CA, it’s not really a crime.

[PGR88]

No one likes seeing law-and-order collapse.

But at the same time, we know Californians brought this on themselves - and are bringing the same chaos on the rest of America. Collectively, they deserve everything they get.

So how does a moral person reconcile these two conflicting notions?

[Howie66]

“Shocking”??

Really?

[Bon of Babble]

Not worth it to the police to track them down and arrest them - the local DA will release them “no cash bail,” give them a date in two years to show up in court and the whole thing will be forgotten.

The jewelry store has insurance, right? (written in sarcasm b/c that’s what leftists say about the businesses they’ve destroyed).

[BBQToadRibs2]

Mostly peaceful restitution.

[The Louiswu]

So why can’t the FIB and the NSA and the other alphabet agencies track these folks like they tracked the Jan 6 rioters, through the pings off their cell phones and the surrounding towers?

[leaning conservative]

And online retailers must lick their chops every time a story like this comes out.
