Democratic cities are seeing a wave of smash-and-grab thefts around the holidays, raising concerns about why they're occurring and how leaders might combat the problem.
Black Friday saw news reports of robberies in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Chicago. High-end stores in San Francisco were vandalized, with thousands of dollars in merchandise retrieved by police.
Walgreens closed nearly two dozen stores in the liberal city, earning it the moniker "shoplifter's paradise." And in October 2020, law enforcement recovered approximately $8 million in stolen merchandise.
In recent months, special attention has been paid to prosecutors like Kim Foxx of Chicago, George Gascon of Los Angeles, and Chesa Boudin of San Francisco – whose victories were backed by groups tied to liberal billionaire George Soros. Neither of their offices provided comment to Fox News.
Both Boudin and Gascon, who have faced recall efforts, have been accused of being soft on crime.
Some of the blame has been directed toward California's Proposition 47 – a 2014 law that lowered shoplifting charges related to the theft of $950 or less from felonies to misdemeanors. Supporters of the ballot measure included ...Gavin Newsom... and other Democrats in the state.

Smash-and-grab robberies plague cities with COMMUNIST district attorneys
Shhh don’t tell anyone.
These thieves know what they are doing..Only go into dem hellholes
Soros and Co.
Someone needs to make a meme of Baghdad Bob with the subtitle “There is no crime wave in Democrat-run cities.”
Which is pretty much what Philly DA and Soros stooge Larry Krasner said yesterday.
I was watching some videos by the Indigo Traveller. This guy travels to the world’s crap hole cities and bravely records the mayhem. His Honduran offerings could’ve been filmed in any one of probably a hundred American sh!thole blue cities.
Liberalism IS a plague 🤪
I will withhold sympathy until I know if the stores are owned by supporters of “social justice” and BLM.

AOC said many of these incidents are merely lies by the capitalist running dogs of the secret corporate rulers over the downtrodden working class, or something to that effect.
Interesting Law Officer article:

“When society removes accountability for bad behavior, criminals get emboldened to commit more crimes, drug addicts thumb their noses at mandatory treatment and vandalism and petty theft turn into riotous looting and murder,” Craig Lally, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League told told Fox News.
“One does not need to be clairvoyant to have predicted that in California the ACLU’s Proposition 47 would turn a family trip to the mall or a Home Depot into a dangerous gamble for our residents.”
They are NOT “Liberals”.
They are Soros owned, leftist totalitarian destroyers of society.
They want to leave because of the problems but since they are bringing their culture with them, they don’t realize they are not escaping their problems. They are bringing them with them and ruining our country as well.
A cop shot a old white guy in a power wheel chair 9 times in the back after sterling a tool box. Think in Phoenix. When the security guy asked him a receipt, he flashed him a knife. The cops came, asked him to stop, when he refused, they shot him dead.
The horrible thing is many of those American cities have mostly home grown ghetto residents. Inner city Chicago, Philadelphia, Memphis and many many more. Grand American cities fifty years ago reduced to third world crap holes by unbroken democrat leadership.
“Walgreens closed nearly two dozen stores in the liberal city, earning it the moniker “shoplifter’s paradise.” “
The place had the moniker or nickname “shoplifter’s paradise” before Walgreens closed all the stores. A place doesn’t get to be a shoplifter’s paradise by not having places to shoplift.
I would think the good men in those cities would get a gut load of this, and begin a program to change things. Permanently for some, of course.
Police, mayors and businessmen are super upset about how people can do crime and not pay the time. Justice is needed.
These are Not liberal DAs. They are a new combination of Soros/Marcuse legal Marxists with a hint of old-time Hitlerian Fascism.
Might as well add in a touch of MARXIST Alinsky, Prof. Derek Bell and Charles Ogletree, William Kunstler (and colleagues), the New York MARXIST Times, the Washington Pravda, and the major news networks which all have a capital “C” in them as in “communist”.
Did I leave out anything?
