This happens all the time. It’s an epidemic in most cities. But, it’s rarely ever reported on the news.
Loss prevention has largely been curtailed because retailers (and their insurers) are too fearful of violating someone’s ‘rights.’
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.
I know you are right.
One of the many terrible things about America now is the news censorship.
