what is a private security guard going to do when someone just comes in, scoops up a bunch of stuff, and walks out? Private security guards don’t have the power to arrest. The cops won’t do anything because of the laws. So they’re just mannequins.
In SF, I think they are the closest thing to a legal solution... and even that won’t work.
National recall vote of all Governors/mayors is needed.
