Union Pacific acknowledged the “cargo thefts” in a statement to the news station and said they have taken steps to crack down on the crimes.

The LAPD doesn’t respond to train thefts, sources told CBSLA, unless the freight-company specifically requests help.

It looks like what I always associated with 3rd-world sh*t-holes. Oh, wait, that's right, LA IS a 3rd-world sh*t-hole.

Yeah, regulators would just shoot you dead, white privilege or no, for doing this, the offense very much akin to piracy. That’s interfering with interstate commerce.

Solution: Don’t ship anything to California. Don’t drive a truck there either. Why risk your life?

There is absolutely no reason to set foot in or fly over Californistan. Not for love, for life, or for wealth.

The democrats willingly allowed the underclass to steal. This is the expected result. The “oppressed” are taking what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

Thanks to democrats, there will be more of this.

They raided the stores.
Store shelves are empty.
Thieves and looters moved upstream to the railcars.

What happens when the railcars are empty??
