Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Fox News was playing politics by covering the recent increase of smash-and-grab robberies plaguing California.
Co-host Joy Behar said, “California is seeing a wave of smash-and-grab robberies, where mobs ransack retail stores. Your own business has been robbed multiple times in the past year. You have a couple of wine stores, I understand. Critics in law enforcement blame this on your lax bail and theft policies emboldening criminals. Here is your chance to tell us.”

We have George Soros DA’s in all the large cities in Texas.
A few years back a retired LEO told me that some high-crime big cities and some high-crime states are absolute experts at understating crime statistics and at ignoring certain crimes.
Sexual assaults are a well-known example, but there are others.
I would love it if Congress looked into this, as the Feds are the collectors and keepers of much stat data on crime.
whataboutism writ large...
unless the amount of goods stolen is under $950. Then you are free to pillage to your heart’s content with no fear from the courts.

Its per looting - so multiple looted stores per day/week makes good living reselling on eBay or other online reseller - not many people make $5,400 a week with just a few hours work per day for 5 days a week.
So that would be $25,000 month discounted (resold) for 1/2 would be $12K month
With that sort of money a guy could buy his own drug operation or string of hookers.
LOL.....she does indeed.....
Ethnicity CA TX
—————————————————————————————————-
Black or African American alone, percent 6.5% 12.9%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a) 1.6% 1.0%
Asian alone, percent(a) 15.5% 5.2%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent(a) 0.5% 0.1%
Two or More Races, percent 4.0% 2.1%
Hispanic or Latino, percent(b) 39.4% 39.7%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent 36.5% 41.2%
California changed the definition of certain crimes so that the real crime rate is now hidden from view.
Regardless, it just amazes me that Libs in those cities are surprised to see the looting that’s taking place in sanctuary cities that effectively have said it’s okay to steal, as long as it’s below a certain amount. If CA keeps people in office who advocate for “semi-stealing”, they should not be surprised when they show up on their doorstep demanding a $950 donation.
Newsome is a simpleton, a nice looking man with no brains, but lots of money.
He has ruined California. “Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.
What’s this about you ask? SIMPLE! Too many people/companies are leaving CA to move to TX. So, he has to try to trash TX to stop the bleeding.
As always with libs, they spout hogwash and are never asked to back it up with facts...
True, that. When I worked as an IT engineer around software analysts providing information to police brass, I was well aware of the analysts being told to tweak the data to fit the narrative being sought prior to public release to the press. The numbers did not reflect reality.
Whoa! Guess Newsome wasn’t lying - REPORTED crimes are lower than elsewhere. Lying sack of sh*t.
“...unless the amount of goods stolen is under $950.”
Good one!
California and some other states are in an experiment. We’re beginning to see the results.
It’s couldn’t care less. CouldN’T
Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,
It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”
The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.
Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.
• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.
• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.
So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”
Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million
It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.
This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.
That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.
This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.
Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!
George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.
Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!
Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!

Newsom has to tke his share of the blame (or maybe the credit) for that.
I don't think Newsom is trying to be humorous, but that's downright laughable.
