Shocking moment mob ransacks gas station store and steals thousands of dollars worth of alcohol, snacks and condoms during illegal street takeover

A massive mob ransacked a Los Angeles gas station and stole thousands of dollars worth of alcohol, condoms and snacks during an illegal street takeover - as cops said they were unable to intervene due to being outnumbered.

Footage from Sunday around 2am showed a group stopping traffic in the Compton intersection of Alondra Boulevard and Central Avenue to drift their cars before charging toward a nearby Arco.

Deputies said they couldn't intervene as a mob of about 100 people broke the windows of a mini-mart and wiped it clean because they were outnumbered.

Those involved appeared to be mostly men with face coverings and were seen snagging thousands of dollars worth of goods before all running in different directions.

The store clerk locked himself in the restroom of the mini-mart until the scene cleared.

Police said the street takeover was one of three that occurred in Compton. Only one arrest was made but the cause is unclear.

Another massive takeover involving street racers occurred at Long Beach Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. Police said a total of 500 people were at involved in both illegal events.

Similarly to the ARCO mini-mart incident, the Long Beach Boulevard takeover ended with vandalism and looting. Police said a laundromat was broken into.

While the ages of the group were disclosed, footage from the night showed grinning youngsters smiling as they plucked condoms from the displays clearly unafraid of getting caught.

Compton residents were in fury over the incidents they believe were done by outsiders.

Yeah, I don't need to look...

Soon Compton will be suffering from convenience store /gas station deserts, as no business of any kind will want to be there.

LOL! The cause is unclear?! They wanted to loot! Plain and simple. And they know the police will do nothing to stop them.

What, exactly, is “shocking” about it?

Outnumbered. Hell no. Cops have guns. This is getting totally out of hand. Shoot a few of them. It is warranted. Done three times in different venues and this sort of mob action will cease. Soros may order it but will not have the rioters he is paying for. These are not bread riots. They are luxury riots. The mob is stealing for immediate self gratification- chips and condoms. They are not starving and being denied access to food. This is not Paris in 1789.

The video I saw yesterday showed what looked like a mixed race bunch, white faces and black. Could antifa have run this show?

The clerk should have had a gun and emptied into several bodies.

Outsiders go into Compton at 2AM. They know there will be no opposition and individuals are not likely to be recognized on the store vids.

It is a mixed bunch. Several white faces and straight hair.

This and other stores like it will be closed. What is the point of stocking a store with merchandise so it will be stolen by a mob?

1) Buy a 12 gauge shotgun or several.
2) Load them with Dragons Breath.
3) Shoot a few times.

Looters will leave.

It is time for them to pick a side. This playing both sides is not working for anyone but the globalists. I hope they do not have some stupid idea that their “Special Class” as Law Enforcement is going to last very long or help them. As soon as the citizens are broken it will be their turn and they will be squashed without mercy exactly the same.

“Thanks for your help you stupid suckers...”

Lets see, no tobacco? I guess they know smoking makes you impotant. The alcohol will get the ho ready for sex, the condom (they know about safe sex, or did they already have 15 kids with 14 baby mommas) for sex and the snacks for after sex. 🤓
