A shocking video captured a mob of California youth breaking into a gas station convenience store and then stealing what police say was thousands of dollars of products.
The incident happened early Sunday morning in Compton, California, after a large group of people blocked an intersection as part of a street takeover, with video footage capturing cars drifting in circles and screeching around 2:30 a.m., according to KLTA.
"It's unbelievable. Unreal. I've never seen anything like that happen here," Greg Johnson, a Compton resident and customer of the Arco Station that was looted, told ABC7 in reaction to the ransacking.
Staff at the Arco said that a clerk there hid in its bathroom while the looting was ongoing.

This is why 80 year old men shoot black kids who mistakenly show up on their door step at 10pm. Just sayin’.

During the LA riots of the 60s many people were surprised at how nice Compton appeared on TV, especially in comparison to black neighborhoods ‘back east’.

Three decades before N.W.A. turned Compton into a rap mecca, the Southern California city was blindingly white. It’s a point Amazon makes in Them: Covenant, the first season of its new anthology series, which is set in the sunny neighborhood in the 1950s.
The first episode finds a Black family taking part in the Great Migration, moving west from the Jim Crow South with their hearts set on opportunity and reinvention. In Compton, though, they find more of the hatred they thought they left had 3,000 miles behind.
Them creator Little Marvin told Vanity Fair that he had always envisioned the first season of Them taking place in the west. It wasn’t until the writer began his research, though, that he realized Compton was the perfect backdrop for his socially minded thriller.
“Compton occupies a very iconically Black place in the public’s imagination,” said Little Marvin. “But when you’re digging in—and looking back 60, 70 years ago—not only was it white, but East Compton was really a white stronghold. Those folks were vehemently protective of the white people on their block. The first gangs that were patrolling the streets of Compton were white kids trying to keep Black folks out.” It was a natural setting for his series, which takes a stylized approach to real-life horrors. “It was light bulb after light bulb after light bulb.”
As historian Josh Sides similarly pointed out in an interview with KCET, “It’s difficult to overstate how white Compton was in the early ’50s and late ’40s…exclusively white with an extraordinary web of racially restrictive covenants with a very aggressive policing strategy about keeping Black people out. There was no more effective tool in 20th [sic] America than the racially restrictive covenant in terms of keeping neighborhoods white.”
The first season of Them takes place across 10 days in East Compton, chronicling how the Emory family is met with shocking hostility from their neighbors. In one act of startling aggression, white neighbors set up chairs outside the Emorys’ new home and blast radios. “The L.A. Urban League had actually identified, I want to say, 26 or 27 types of tactics that Black folks experienced,” Little Marvin said. “Anything from acts of vandalism, like burned-down salons, nails up and down the driveway, windows being destroyed to really psychologically terrifying tactics.”
Them’s central storyline was inspired in part by the life of Emory Hestus Holmes. A doctor, World War II veteran, and civil rights leader, Holmes moved to the predominantly white Pacoima neighborhood in the 1950s. His family, according to the online reference center Black Past, “faced a variety of forms of racial harassment that included vandalism, property destruction, and a cross burning.
Agitators also hired undertakers to go to the Holmes family home with orders to pick up dead bodies in an attempt to intimidate and frighten the family.” Holmes later filed a civil rights lawsuit against his neighbors in 1960 and won, and eventually helped to found the San Fernando Valley Fair Housing Council.
I’m running out of printable expletives. The left has created a HUGE group of well trained savages. The left has encouraged them to live without working, off other peoples’ work, to destroy themselves with drugs, smokes, booze, to live irresponsibly and to blame their self-inflicted pathologies on other people and to hate those people.
There is Zero chance that any one of those well trained street savages will ever be brought to justice.
The store owner has the bill now and has to clean up. He’s lucky he didn’t try to defend himself because he would now be in jail.
