The FBI was lit up on social media after a truly stunning Monday tweet.

The FBI tweeted an image of two young white women stealing and robbing a store in an attempt to address theft. The two women looked like the most harmless people on the planet as they attempted to rob the place.

Higher prices, dangerous products, and closing businesses. These are just some of the impacts Organized Retail Theft has on everyday Americans. Learn what the #FBI does to combat these crimes on the federal level to protect shoppers across the country:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What exactly are these two women doing? Participating in retail theft and more, which the FBI describes as follows:

"Organized Retail Theft (ORT), also known as Organized Retail Crime (ORC), is the large-scale theft of retail merchandise with the intent to resell the stolen items for financial gain. ORT may involve a criminal enterprise that employs a group of individuals to steal large quantities of merchandise from multiple stores. These ORT groups maintain or utilize fencing operations to convert the stolen goods into cash.

As defined above, ORT involves highly sophisticated coordinated thefts at retail establishments.

Comparatively, Smash and Grab is a form of retail theft that involves smashing a barrier, usually a display in a store, to grab valuables. Key elements include the use of speed and surprise.

Flash Mob or Flash Rob is a form of shoplifting that occurs when an organized group, usually teenagers wearing similar articles of clothing to conceal their identities, select a specific retail store to rob at the same time. Flash robs usually target high-end stores."

FBI roasted for tweet about retail theft. Do two tiny women really come to mind when you think about flash mobs terrorizing businesses? Of course not, and that's the exact point many made as the tweet was ruthlessly dragged.

I did a google search for “Show me smash and grab suspects”
and it showed who the stealers really are. Same thing at Bing.

The girls should be charged with cultural appropriation.

Allstate has been running commercials featuring 3 white people doing stupid things while driving and then one black person driving sensibly, the person they hope buys their insurance. Maybe they think they are funny commercials but the subtext is “we don’t like white people.”

When I see an ad like that, I make a mental note never to use that product or service.

All one need do to see the abject dishonesty of the FBI BS is to scan through Youtube looking for “shoplifters caught on video.”
