A pair of masked bandits are still at large after brazenly robbing a California Apple store in broad daylight on Black Friday, and video of the incident has gone viral showing staff watching on and warning customers against intervening as the thieves made away with tens of thousands of dollars in loot.

The footage taken from inside Apple's flagship Palo Alto location shows the two suspects ripping iPhones from display tables and stuffing them into backpacks as dozens of shoppers looked on.

Employees can be heard telling customers, "You gotta back up, man," and "Let 'em go," deterring anyone from confronting the thieves. One onlooker can be heard asking, "Yo, should we stop 'em?"

According to Palo Alto Online, police are still searching for the perpetrators, who made away with $35,000 in merchandise.

The unintended consequences of the Soros DAs ending mass incarceration is a black crime wave. Blacks have been practically invited to steal. So far it has not politically hurt soft on crime Democrats. Hochul in New York said that crime was not as bad as it appears. Don’t believe your lying eyes. And got away with it.

That’s an aspect that is overlooked in all of this “redistribution of wealth”; the paying customers are getting the bill.

When I see all of these school supply giveaways each fall, or free turkey giveaways around the holidays, I think most paying customers don’t realize they are footing the bill. The goods are primarily going to certain demographics (at least in my area); they have become livestock feeding on the common purse.

shouldn’t the staff have assisted the thieves by helping them haul the loot to their getaway vehicles?

A stolen I phone is worthless. To be activated, the owner must be revealed

No, in California, shooting a robber, even a n armed robber is being precedented to be illegal.
even in self defense there can be no guns in the former American state of California.

When the perps were asked why they picked the Palo Alto store, they said, “that’s where it’s easy to steal.
