A woman carrying a pickaxe in broad daylight casually walked into a Los Angeles Rite Aid, stole merchandise and threatened store employees and customers, shocking video shows.

The bizarre footage captured the moment the unknown woman dragged a basket full of merchandise across the floor of the Rite Aid, in Venice, California, on Thursday morning.

She seems to be headed for the door, with basket and pickaxe in hand, before stopping by the counter and telling an employee she'll come back.

'I'm not f*****g around,' she says as an employee tries to ask her to stop as she makes a grab for beauty products.

'I don't want to smell like sh** when I'm knocking these b****** out,' she adds as she drops a spray into the basket.

What an articulate and industrious woman.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Give that woman some free fentanyl!

[V_TWIN]

And white people just stand around and let it happen. SMH

[GingisK]

Unless she is Viking huge, she wouldn’t be able to actually fight well with it. It would be sort of sad in a gun fight.

[rktman]

Shocking? Not these days.

[Rebel_Ace]

What is sorely needed is common sense pickaxe control...

[dinodino]

Definitely. This is what passes for commendable behavior nowadays in Los Angeles.

[centermass_socrates]

Man you just can’t make this stuff up...

[V_TWIN]

I don’t know why somebody didn’t just take it away from her.

[Vesparado]

Don’t really understand why employees/other customers/police threatened by shoplifter(s) armed with a pick axe (or a crowbar or other deadly weapon) wouldn’t be justified in using deadly force to stop the threat.

[GingisK]

Me either. It wouldn’t be be that difficult to do.

[SMARTY]

I like the way they KEEP showing the world what they ARE!

Here is a class of people who probably wonder why no one can stand them

[V_TWIN]

It’s California bro.....where law abiding citizens are the criminals

[V_TWIN]

“Here is a class of people who probably wonder why no one can stand them”

Show me a race of people on this country that blacks DON’T have a grievance with

[ealgeone]

Out there? I would as well.

[V_TWIN]

I guess the fear of being accused of being racist just paralyzes some people

[LouAvul]

Let it happen? Heck. Those fools campaigned for that insanity. They voted for that insanity. It's what they want. Ergo, let them have it.

[ealgeone]

Same argument could be made against someone open carrying.

[Theoria]

Merely a Level 3 Goblin. The threat is the Goblin raids.

I’m no spring chicken 🐓 but there is no way I couldn’t disarm that high struttin’ fool.
