San Francisco to limit car access to Union Square after Louis Vuitton theft

Cars will be restricted in San Francisco's Union Square after a shocking incident of retail theft on Friday night.

The San Francisco Police Department said in a statement it responded to reports of possible looting and vandalism at several retail establishments, including the Louis Vuitton store, at 8:10 p.m. Additional officers were called to the scene to address reports of crime. The alleged thieves smashed windows, leaving piles of shattered glass across the sidewalk of the store that's adjacent to the Macy's department store.

Burberry, Bloomingdale's and Yves Saint Laurent, among other retailers, were also targeted, police said.

Saturday afternoon, Mayor London Breed and Police Chief Bill Scott held a press conference to condemn the thieves and announce coming changes to Union Square in the wake of the incident.

"We’re going to making some changes to Union Square and how cars are able to access," Breed said. "There will be limited access in terms of when you come to this area."

Should work fine. Only thieves who have legs will be able to avoid this one.

Typical California solution.

If they had any sense, they’d start busting heads. Stop coddling these destructive parasites.

This just makes it easier for the thieves to rob them on the street.

Oh look, she’s carrying a shopping bag with LV on it! Sweeet!

It wasn’t shocking in the least. And it wasn’t “retail theft”. It was an organized raid.

These looters can run away in any direction. Great job there.

Same as the 2020 election.

We have joked many times on FR that we need to build a wall around California to keep the leftists from polluting the other states.

It appears from this latest story, California will soon build a wall around itself to keep the conservatives from leaving.

Anybody remember the USSR and its Iron Curtain????

Day late and a dollar short. The damage has already been done. Like closing the gate after the horses all left

They are “alleged thieves,” so they can’t go after them.

The SF DA just announced how proud he was that they arrested a woman after FORTY shoplifting incidents totaling over $100,000.

Put up signs saying NO NEGROES.. Problem solved.
My wife, a professional, dual-doctorate conservative black woman, loves to shop and pays full retail. So if this was your store, you're not getting any of her good money.

(She'd sue your ass, anyway, so she'd be getting a lot of your good money.)

Ah yes, one more thing that you can no longer do, because our government won’t do its job and go after CRIMINALS.

Same story that has been in CA for 20 years.
Punish everyone because they refuse to arrest the few responsible.

I see your point. I was responding to an obviously sarcastic post.

Understand your sentiments. Things are looking bleak for continued civilized country. Crime is going crazy. I know and work with many blacks. I’m in the engineering arena. I cannot ask a single person. What do successful blacks think about the absurd levels of black crime. There is an area about 40 miles from me that is the white trash / meth / crime central to the county I live in. Crime reports in that area and everyone knows it’s white trash. Don’t go in that area at night especially on Friday or Saturday night …. It’s embarrassing to me that poor whites act trashy. Most of My family is working low wage whites but not trash.

Long question short, what do average successful blacks think about things like this story. Broad brush question. Feel free to ignore if you think it’s a rude question. Not my intent.

California libs have a perfect solution, indirectly, in their plan to outlaw personal fossil fuel powered vehicles. For the few rich elite libs that means the Teslas they, unlike the servant class, can afford. Once the masses are conned into the deal they’ll learn there are only enough material resources and funds available for them to ‘drive’ one of these..

Meets all the greenie standards and has the side advantage of redefining “fast getaways with lots of loot.” The acme of virtual signaling, I expect all the hyper woke politicians to use them around SF. Pelosi and Harris can show off their battery assist and braking power to and from Nob Hill parties.
