Blasting some recorded gunshots over the PA system would have cleared them out in a hurry.

in the past, Liberals could virtue-signal their idiotic ideology for places like San Francisco, but escape to the suburbs to live and have families

I guess not any more

and in SoCal today:

BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA) — Authorities on Sunday were investigating the circumstances surrounding two incidences in Beverly Hills that resulted in windows to two stores being smashed....The damaged storefronts included Louis Vuitton and Saks Fifth Avenue. Police said no merchandise was taken from either store.”

all the incidents involve Louis Vitton - what’s up with that? Some NFL player start wearing his shirts or what?

“in the past, Liberals could virtue-signal their idiotic ideology for places like San Francisco, but escape to the suburbs to live and have families. I guess not any more”

And when you try to escape to the high country of Idaho, they’ll be waiting for you there, and bring you down to their camps.

For people who understand Leftists, this is no surprise, as they NEVER intended to let use live out our lives in peace...that’s simply not who they are.

a witness told NBCNews that the entire robbery took about 1 minute as the thieves exited to waiting vehicles

The Broken Windows Theory is probably the greatest anti-crime measure ever invented.

I mean Rudy put this to use in NYC and crime just dropped like a stone. At first he was ridiculed for going after jaywalkers and turnstile jumpers, but it had a chilling effect on the larger crimes.

This is what happens in SF when you let people crap in the streets and steal up to $1,000 with no penalties.

We were warned that Christmas shopping would be more difficult this year. I guess the same holds for Christmas stealing.

No wonder retail has supply chain issues.

Would anyone cry at all if somehow all those 80 mob ransacking hugs wound up dead before they could leave the store?

Almost everyone would cheer.

I have had conversations with non-political people, and I am shocked at the level of ignorance they have of these events and the dynamic.

They seem to think that if they keep their head down, shut up, don’t make noise, that events that are a planned result and happening more often every day are going to pass them by as if they were Israelites huddling in hovels as slaves in Egypt who had painted a mark with lamb’s blood on their door as a sign to the Angel of Death.

I find it infuriating. These people are not interested in passing you by, even if you shut up and keep your head down.

They aren’t just interested in “having their way”. They have a deep seated need to have others validate their insanity. Like in Orwell’s”1984” you can’t just mouth the words 2+2=5, you have to believe it is true in your soul.

And that is why they are going to come for all of us if we just sit back and let them. There is a saying often attributed to Leon Trotsky: “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”

It applies, or at least some paraphrase of it. Meaning you can ignore it all you want, but you are still going to be embroiled in it.
