Powerless Employees Look On as San Francisco Store Looted in Broad Daylight
westernjournal.com ^ | 3/8/2020 | James Morganelli

The video taken at a San Francisco Walgreens is self-explanatory.

But what it actually means for the city by the bay is dark — San Francisco is falling apart.

In the video, three hooded individuals casually loot store shelves in full view of employees. No one stops them.

And although a woman says, “Call the police!” it is unclear if anyone did and more unclear whether it would have mattered — police most likely would have simply filled out a report rather than chase anyone down.

Hard to tell what they were stealing, but it looked like they were in the make-up section? Likely easy to sell on the black market (is that racist?)

And I think one of them is a woman.

Pretty much.

When the thieves reach a certain level, the businesses will close. Then the riots will begin, because, you know, there are no longer any stores in certain areas.

Inner-city areas where shoplifting $950-$1,000 isn't a serious crime anymore (thanks Democrats!) will burn first.

Because there's no place to steal from anymore --- oops, "shop at'.

Western Civilization.

It was fun while it lasted.

[Then Moochie will whine about more “food deserts and drug store deserts”.]

Exactly.

But it will be because of “Coronavirus”.

And “Russians”.

And, lest we forget, “Racism”.

Yeah...they’re just sort of frowned upon these days.

That is not surprising. And, as you point out, they’re teaching their kids. Disgusting.

Aren’t business owners trying to pressure for changes? I suppose they’d be called racist if they did that.

CA law is a suggestion unless one is an upstanding citizen

it’s not a felony if you lift less than $950 in Cal. New law last year. Cops don’t want the call.

Store employees are unarmed and not trained to physically restrain. Yet they are tasked with stopping shoplifting.

nobody in California goes to San Fransicko anymore unless they absolutely have to

too many beggars and too much sheit on the sidewalks, plus zero police protection

In addition to Feces the bums are very aggressive and :”own”parts of the city.

We lived in Sacramento for 17 years and fell in love with SF. Our daughter lived and worked there 9 years and my wife’s cousin was on various boards. They all moved out a few years ago.

For a SF vibe in a cleaner city try Vancouver CDA and Victoria Island in the late spring and summer.

In the future you will walk the aisles and all the items under locked safety glass. You make a list of what you want and the employee fills the order 1 unlock at time.

Better amazon drone delivery.

“The solution is simple, go to the shop at city hall, the opera building, the Japanese tea garden in GG park, the museum gift shop, etc. - every CCSF owned venue, and STEAL.”


I’m sure theft from a city/county-owned venue will be treated as a serious crime. After all, it would stealing from the PEOPLE. That cannot and will not be tolerated. Theft of a potato that fell from a government truck got you ten years in the gulag back in the day.

Later in article: Shoplifting, grand theft, forgery, fraud and some drug possession charges were reclassified as misdemeanors so long as their value did not exceed $950.

Let's see -- by my count I've stolen $949 dollars worth of stuff. I'm just under the limit, so I need to call it a day. LOL!!!!

Funny. This could start criminal class learning basic arithmetic for the first time. “Practical math” as mentioned in a Chuck Berry song.

SSS isn’t really a concern in Wyoming.

Here if you shoot people who need to be shot the worst thing that law enforcement is going to do is to criticize your grouping.

Generally if you go with one in the noggin and two in the pump you’ll get approving looks from the deputies!
