A Bay Area serial thief who has been busted a stunning 90 times for shoplifting was arrested again just hours after he was released from jail, according to a local report.

*snip*

He rarely steals more than $950 worth of products, according to police, which keeps him out of jail due to a 2014 change in state law.

That 2014 law is not just something a liberal politicians came up with on their own. California residents voted on it (Proposition 47). The felony charge threshold for shoplifting went from $400 in stolen property to $950.

950… what a joke. Does a cashier ring up $949.00 worth of goods that looters can steal? Most Americans today are a special kind of stupid to go along with the goofy laws passed these days.

Getting arrested probably means a free meal and a nap to this guy.

An enabled criminal can do a lot of damage when there are no consequences.

I think he should use his theft charges to better use, by becoming a Senator or a House member! He can LEGALLY STEAL them! 🤓

We need someplace like Devils Island to put people like this. How about opening Alcatraz up again and just dump all the human waste on it? Keep them out of trouble, let them steal from each other.
