What's the difference if it's done by one person or 20 people? No one was injured.
The assertion that cops 'waited' until the mob was gone isn't backed up by any evidence. If it was a silent alarm, how would the police know the situation? Were the cops in the bushed scared to confront the perps? Probably not.
What if the nearest cop was 10 minutes away and the mob only took 6 minutes to remove the items? Let's think a little bit here, people.
Oh. Is that all. Hell, then. Just chalk it up to the price of doing business and move on.
I stand corrected if the facts were not accurately listed here.
I was responding to the article saying that the cops waited until the mob was done before going there. It made it sound like the cops just don’t intervene in a crime in progress. If that’s not accurate I stand corrected.
“What’s the difference if it’s done by one person or 20 people? No one was injured”.
I disagree. There is a dramatic difference in your comparison. One person swiping a candy bar secretly is shoplifting. Why this is so disturbing is that a MOB/GROUP of approximately 3 dozen people stole items without fear of the police, customers, or the clerk. They use a large group to ensure that no one will stop them. No one was injured... yes. This time. However, the same group of people could easily have overtaken one or two law enforcement officer or beaten to death/raped anyone in the store that they wanted. IMHO.
And you are? Pathetic.

Well, there is a huge difference due to the intimidation factor, which is a key modus operandi of these black assaults, whether they be physical, fiscal, or both.

Answer from one of the Founders, specifically Thomas Paine:
“Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.” - Thoughts on Defensive War, 1775

Thanks for the blue perspective.
Yeah, so what if 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 thugs converge all at once to commit crimes in unison? No biggie, minor infraction, so store owners incur some losses, they have insurance anyway plus they probably have more money than these underprivileged underserved unrespected minority youths who’ve never had a break in life.
