“That was looting, not shoplifting”.
I agree. There is a significant difference if one kid slips a Milky Way into his back pocket vs. a large group of individuals grabbing whatever they want, in force as a group. All I can say is that I am glad that no other customers were in the location. (dare I say white customers?) I think the tape would have been a lot more violent IMHO.
The other problem is monkey see, monkey do. With the lack of law enforcement action, the publicity will encourage others to do the same. That’s not good for Montgomery County or the nation.
