Man, on a federal holiday no less. The Amish have always been known to be industrious. /s
Businesses, stores, shops actually exist there? On purpose?
How long will they allow this to continue?
Maybe they needed them, per CNN or MSNBC...
Walgreens has withdrawn from the region.
Target is now limiting their store hours (closing at 6pm)
Back in 2014, California voters passed ballot initiative "Proposition 47: The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act." Crimes that were once considered felonies were reduced to misdemeanors including:
"Safe Neighborhoods and Schools" -- what a freaking joke. Things are more unsafe than they ever have been due to the passing of this law.
Californians were stupid enough to pass this based on the name of the proposition.
How did it turn out? Here's the liberal Wikipedia short analysis through 2019. It has gotten MUCH worse since then, especially with COVID...
Numerous media outlets have continued to report an increase in retail theft related to the passage of Prop 47. Large retailers Safeway, Target, Rite Aid and CVS pharmacies reported in 2016 that shoplifting increased from 15 percent to (in some cases) over 50 percent since voters approved Proposition 47. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2017 that the California Supreme Court ruled that a person convicted of a felony for stealing a car may have that conviction reduced to a misdemeanor if the vehicle was worth no more than $950, and in 2018 that researchers found Prop 47 contributed to a jump in car burglaries, shoplifting and other thefts. The San Francisco Chronicle reported in 2018 that Prop. 47 led to a rise in the larceny theft rate of about 9 percent compared to the 2014 rate.Will Californians wake up and repeal 47? Will they put the 10,000 criminals released (probably a LOT more than that) back in jail?By 2019, organized retail theft was on the rise; police and store owners attributed it to Prop 47. Fox News reported that post Prop 47 both shoplifters and fencers operated openly and with impunity, with both criminals and storekeepers aware that selective enforcement policies mean police largely ignore reports of shoplifting, or respond too slowly. President of the California Retailers Association Rachel Michelin stated that thieves will bring in calculators to ensure that they do not go over the $950 limit and that "one person will go into a store, fill up their backpack, come out, dump it out and go right back in and do it all over again." She also reported that out-of-state crime rings use children as they are even less likely to be prosecuted, and that even when police make arrests, charges are dropped or downgraded by the district attorney.
They will allow this to continue until they go BACK to prosecuting theft of under $1000 in merchandise.
“Feral descendants of the “54-40 or fight!” Western settlers.”
Not hardly. The antecedents of those people did not have a dog in that fight.
Theft of a candy bar should be prosecuted; donuts by police as well. There should be zero tolerance of any theft of any type.
This kind of behavior can be understood when you realize that ma y of those participating live in “ handbag deserts.”
Nope...didn’t need to look...
Are BLM/Antifa looters back in action for the summer?
PHOOEY!!!!
Receiving stolen property, if value of the stolen goods is under $950;
Forgery, fraud or bad check writing, if the forged check, draft or other document amounts to less than $950;
and Personal use of most illegal drugs.
How can you people in CA allow such stupid things become law?
First they came for the luxuries,
then they came for the necessities,
finally they came for the groceries.
The only solution: put the pimps and drug dealers in charge; they have proven, effective methodologies for the mitigation of such problems.
Lol. I caught this post just as I was clicking away but had to come back to say that was funny.
Yep. Here in Houston, I was in a Best Buy electronics store and watched a black guy walk in, proceeded to the music area. Picked out a CD or CD’s and began removing the security wrapping. I’m standing right next to this idiot.
So, I walked away, went to the front where the security dudes were standing in their bright yellow security dude shirts and said,”Hey guys, there is a guy back there...oh wait, here he comes. He is stealing merchandise”. They stood there as the thug approached, walk right by them and out the door.
I said,”you guys aren’t going to stop him?” They said, naw it’s too late. lol Couldn’t believe it.
Happens so much, they just let it go.
