We tend to think of Black Friday as the day that we can pick up some good deals at the stores.
But instead, we’ve been seeing people thinking they could get more than a good deal — a five-finger discount, in fact. It’s happening at expensive stores in Democratic cities, particularly in California when they know that because of leftist prosecutors there, they will likely not suffer any real consequences even if they are caught in the act. This is all courtesy of the Democratic policy of being lenient on crime.
When even CNN is recognizing this as a problem in cities like San Francisco and Chicago, then you know Democrats can’t hide the hard reality of what their policies are causing.

As the police noted in the above video, one group that hit a Nordstrom store in Canoga Park didn’t stop with just stealing the high-end purses; they also attacked the security guard who tried to stop them, spraying him with bear spray. Some of these robbery groups are probably random groups of kids, but gangs and organized crime can also use kids to do this — knowing that there’s very little likelihood of any real punishment as a result.
This is what we’re now getting with Democrats in charge — anarchy and chaos. A smash-and-grab group even ransacked a Home Depot in Los Angeles. What did they steal? Sledge hammers and crow bars, so they could go hit more stores. Unfortunately, it goes beyond just losing all sense of law and order and frightening people — now people are getting killed, as well.
Fox News reports on more violent flash mob robberies that hit stores on Black Friday in California.

Kevin Nishita, a former police officer working as a security guard, was killed by a group that pulled up on the KRON news crew to rob them in the Bay Area.

Nishita was working as a security guard for a KRON television news crew at the time reporting on a recent smash-and-grab robbery at the clothing store Prime 356 that happened Monday night. [….]
They said an armed robbery crew pulled up on the television crew and ordered the news crew and their guard to get on the ground. According to witnesses, moments later, shots were fired and the guard was hit.
Authorities said the guard was hit in the stomach by the bullet. No other injuries were reported before the shooters fled the scene.
When you allow chaos, this is where it can lead, and now we’ve lost someone who spent his life helping other people.
While CNN is reporting on the smash and grabs, they had one analyst who said that we don’t know why this is happening, right after he also noted “some DAs that have flat-out said they’re no longer going to prosecute shoplifting.” You think that there might not be a relation there?
We also reported on the response from Mayor London Breed in San Francisco — trying to limit traffic and parking. I’m sure that will do the trick. Not. And what were some of the media concerned about? Whether it was proper to call it “looting” and whether that might somehow be racist if you did so.
Here’s a radical thought. Radical for California, which means it’s sane. How about upping the penalty for theft rather than reducing it? And how about electing people who aren’t radical leftists who want to open the doors and let all the criminals out? Then, amazingly, you’ll find these incidents drop magically. It’s not magic, though — just common sense.
A simple sound of shot guns prepping to be fired would get their attention, any further movement would be at their own risk
They may not like it, but it's entirely predictable:
Critical Race Theory = "the system is racist"
"the system is racist" = the system is illegitimate
the system is illegitimate = the laws are not legitimate
the laws are not legitimate = the laws have no authority
the laws have no authority = lawless behavior
lawless behavior = complete chaos
Whether the people pushing CRT are doing it for short-term gain (Democrat politicians), long-term gain (Marxists, black nationalists, etc.), or because they are simply blind to the consequences (school boards, churches, etc.), the results will be the same - the complete breakdown of society...
Drug gangs use minors to do the “running” because they know they will not be punished.
That business model was so successful, thanks to liberal policies, it’s now spread to retail
The problem exists in the seceded City States, not America
They were only supposed to rob small businesses - not entities connected to the World Economic Forum.
I’m not sure where you live in CA, but in south O.C., we are suffering a massive increase in armed robberies, car popping, etc. A restaurant at South Coast Plaza was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the day last week. Orange County is the most populous conservative county in CA, AFAIK.
A lot of this is organized theft. Charge these dirtbags with federal RICO crimes and throw them in federal prison for a long stretch.
I agree with you, but sadly, under the FJB Administration and with Merrick Garland, there’s no chance of that. The smart money is on exiting CA entirely.
Pain in Joe Biden’s blue cities is what I want more of.
More pain, please. All the way up the @ss! Deep and hard!
This is a disgrace. I am so ashamed of how America looks to the rest of the world.
Well said.
Projection is an interesting thing.
Here's a great idea.
Quit the burning, looting, and rioting and you won't have to worry about feeling safe.
Criminal activity is not a First Amendment protected right.
I hope and pray.
Boudin was raised by Ayers/Dohrn
And?
Maybe the people who see the link can populate the info elsewhere. As we know, Ayers/Dohrn are directly linked to 0 and Soros, making Boudin one of the soldiers in the group engaged in the coup in progress.
Anarchy is something.
If police will not enforce property laws, conservatives have no use for them.
None.
Eliminate police so the people can enforce the law.
The stores need to have doors like Chicago stores have revolving doors it would slow them down give cops time to arrive and take photos.
Busted ensues.
Actually, Chinese slave-labor camps are what’s coming next.
The useful idiots have quite a surprise coming their way.
