After a San Francisco Target store was forced to lock down its entire inventory due to skyrocketing theft, a California business leader has slammed the state’s ultra-soft on crime policies for letting brazen shoplifters and drug addicts get away with crimes time and again.
“The problem now… is that, people who are drug addicted, who have mental health issues, they candidly will go into stores and they will steal,” Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retailers’ Association (CRA) told The Post.
“They will sell those items out on the street, they then make money, they then continue their habit or continue a destructive lifestyle.” Michelin says the root of the problem lies with the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, also known as Prop 47, which downgraded crimes like theft of goods under $950 from felonies to misdemeanors.

This insanity counts as reasonable thought in the minds of the gimmedats.
Toots, it doesn’t work that way.
” Does anyone think these laws are designed to stamp out small businesses, so all we have left is big business?”
It’s a feature, not a bug.
But the motive of most who voted for the proposition is plain ‘ol dogooderness...the product of weak minds and weak bodies.
You can eat a flat screen TV?
She’s a commiecrat, and deserves a free helicopter ride!
Dude, they can become entrepreneurs on eBay.
Well, it does, until you run out of other people's money (H/T to Margaret Thatcher).
I read that the Whole Foods in San Fran had the homeless defecating on their store floors and the homeless would walk up to the salad/food bars and eat off of it with their bare hands.
This animal will be screaming the loudest when she finds her people’s community is a food desert.
Is this the ilk that used millions raised to buy herself luxury homes?
I was in a store the other day with my aunt, they had the expensive skin creams and such behind a locked case. And I also noticed that the boxes had been printed with the name of the store and store number. If the items are stolen and resold this printing is one way to track it from the online seller to the store it was stolen from. It’s not “shoplifting” it has become racketeering - organized theft and reselling of merchandize at scale.

So make a list of ALL Public Employee’s in the State and DENY ALL Electronic Transactions on the list and force them to use CASH ONLY. Gas Stations should do this too.
‘Activists’ will be denouncing Target as racist for locking away inventory. If anyone doubts it, remember, some urban city councils have outlawed bullet proof glass at check out counters in convenience stores because the glass implies the surrounding communities are violent and lawless (which they are).
Only big 'guilty white liberal' companies can afford the loss. Now even those companies know it's not 'racism' it's common sense to treat democrat hellholes like, well.. like the hellholes they are.
And the cities? They didn't act with compassion for the criminals... they wanted their crime statistics to 'look better' by saying it's not felony theft if it's under $900. That way they can lie to companies looking to relocate..
If the FBI wanted to earn their salaries they would come up with a standard way of reporting crime and STOP democrat hellholes from lying about their crime numbers.
flat screen TVs aside everything else is probably sold at a deep discount to buy drugs and alcohol.
Funny how the work boots are always left untouched.
Why lock down the Target? Shut it down. Close it.
I’d of spent the money on moving the store the hell out of sf.......and probably California all together.
Having said that, I wouldn’t go into a target to throw up.
All the big box stores in CA should get together and close
all at the same time...
Just cut that state full of lunatics loose and move on.
They won’t be able to order goods from Walmart online or Amazon either as those trucks are already being held up and robbed and it would go full bore if the big stores closed and there was no where to shoplift.
I wonder what it feels like to be that stupid?
