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.
What the enemedia will not tell you is this is what the obamaroid community organizing has evolve into. And the chief ‘organizer’ is no regrets when his plans are working to destroy the America he hates. The stupid beyond words democrap party is just along for the ride.
During the biggest blackout of the era on the East coast (the 1977 one), one woman interviewed for a few lines later in People Magazine (carrying stolen merchandise away) said: “It was on TV that this blackout is an act of God. That means God wants us black people to get the stuff we couldn’t get because of racists. And we’re doing it.” Two members of Paula Abdul’s later backup band stole high cost furniture and entertainment items and said years later they regretted the crimes and wanted to live them down.
Such “religious” fervor seems to be on the rise today. They think they “deserve” the early reparations before Congress signs over reparations in earnest.
The BBB ‘B’ encourages these crimes. They’re distractions and he can say, “ that’s why the economy is not doing as well as it should have done.”
Blame everything on ...you know the list.
Don’t these people know their place!? Robbing from the poor is fine, but don’t you dare cross that line!
Even the Salvation Army has fallen for the CRT bullshit.
I will be passing by the Red Buckets this year without dropping in a single cent.
The media are complicit in this as well - it's entertainment, it's sensational, it's spectacular, and there is absolutely no downside to celebrating it. The irony is that the trope that only large corporations are hurt by this is being parroted by, you guessed it, large corporations who profit by it.
As will I...
From this point 6 January 2021, forward, all prosecutions will be political.
Look to Argentina rural residences after economic collapse attacks for a parallel (Ferfal).
I agree with you. That is borne out by the facts. Look around.
“Live in California and this crime will continue till someone crosses the line and robs one of the protected families running this state.”
Not Really! Throughout California, there are many exclusive communities, often surrounding an 18 Hole~PGA approved golf course and professional tennis courts with pre scheduled time to play, scheduled in weeks ahead.
Often, inside these known, gated communities are the homes of the really rich/elites. Their homes have armed security gates, 24/7. These areas are patrolled by elite private and armed security guards in SUVs and semi armored golf carts.
Every guard, security guy, vehicle and golf cart have up to date military type of communication gear. There is no 30 minute wait after calling 911. Armed help or medical help is at the elites homes in minutes. Medivac helicopters are on call if needed.
Armed and well trained former Spec ops are patrolling and are available in minutes to protect or evacuate the elites if, when and necessary.
These elites often have several homes: One on a private beach, one in a ski resort year round or as I described above with private golf courses and/or tennis courts.
They are not depending on regular police officers to protect and defend their families and them. They have their own Guardia, fire stations and on call first aid providers.
If 100 blacks went to one of those elite communities and rampaged through it, there is no way that elite security would gun them down. Blacks are higher on the totem pole than elites.
“...arrest them and —— them.”
That will never happen. You should get a room with yourself.
you are right and wrong. these communities can handle the stray thief or two it can’t handle 20 + vehicles rolling into the neighborhood and robing in mass. that is what has started to happen in California. even local police can’t handle it. the problem is not police or communities having private police. the problem is that unless the amount is over a certain amount no one is charged if it does go over its a slap by the district attorney. the moment raids happen on gated communities with private police you will see changes start happening.
All these CEOs just learned that the payoffs to BLM didn’t buy the absolution they had hoped for.
It’s 2020 all over again, only the looters aren’t setting the stores on fire.
Since they’re happening mostly in DemoKrat cities, the DemiKKKrats are behind the lootings, hiring these looters, and profiting enormously from them.
Upscale stores looted by black thugs? LOL- Finally ‘elites’ care about crime.
Point well taken... And I wondering if they (the mass media) realize how the majority of Americans feel about them.
