IIRC, Walmart locked up their black hair produacts because they were being stolen like they were candy bars.

Then BLM or one of those groups DEMANDED that they be unlocked...and Walmart did as told. Shameful you can't run a store as you see it.

"Dokoupil claimed the man was probably getting something he needed [to sell for drugs] and suggested that nothing should have been done to stop the crime as it was taking place."

What dokoupil forgot to include.

The news anchor should call Walgreens and give his credit card to pay for the needed items…

I’ve had idiot liberals tell me it’s only property. I ask them what they’d do if someone came to steal from them. They always get a funny look. The cognitive disconnect is striking.

This is probably the lawless environment that hatched certain customs within islamic law which would result in Al-Sanfrancisco becoming a city of amputees.

Have any of these news anchors or anyone else for that matter, brought up the DA in San Francisco and his policies toward crime?

Have any of them brought up the hand that Soros plays in getting these people elected?

The people of San Francisco elected a Soros backed, radical Leftist, whose parents blew up buildings, and stated that he not going to prosecute certain crimes. In effect de-criminalizing them.

Put, at least, some of the blame where it belongs, the liberal, Leftist voters.

If the thief punches the reporter in the face on the way out, maybe she is getting something she needs.

My guess is that now they are just normally out of stock or discontinued.

This is insane. Purely insane.

It must suck to be so conflicted with self-loathing that you can excuse behavior that is sinful and illegal under the laws and norms of society.

There is a backlash against this crap coming. When the businesses close because they cannot make any money the residents will reconsider their views on societal norms.

I guess until that happens those unfortunate enough to be there will suffer.

I wonder if the crew at “CBS This Morning” would like to give out their addresses? Perhaps some needy people will be over carrying trash bags to fill with something they need. Think of it as an early Trick or Treat.

California now has a no prosecution law that excuses theft of anything under $950.

Read an interesting fictional future-history book called "Prayers for the Assassin" which had this as it's background premise. Basically, in a not too distant future, with society breaking down, the northern part of the US becomes an Islamic Republic, partly in search of countering the breakdown of society.

Look at the cities that were burned. They do what they want...because they can.

"I mean, a bag full? They looked like hair products … which are valuable, and he's filling his bag full of them,"

After suffering huge losses due to theft of black hair products, many stores had begun locking them up with other high theft items. Then they were shamed into leaving them out to steal. The left should be defending this thief vigorously, as they fought for his right to steal these products. THIS is what they wanted.

Reminds me of Celine’s statement during the Katrina/NOLA looting.

Let them touch those things!

Okay, lefties....let these thugs come to YOUR homes and grab all of the things they *need*.

🙃
