On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.
Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests. And so, these are crimes that are significants. They are felonies. They are not misdemeanors. And one of the things that we need to look at though, rest assured, they are not selling $10,000 purses in poor communities. They’re selling those purses online. They’re selling those stolen goods online. And so, I believe, when you have a crime like that, all of the actors are culpable and need to be dealt with. And so, we need to look at the online sales of stolen property, because that’s what it is.”

She's not the stupid one. The stupid ones are the ones who voted for her.
Being caught and serving time is part of the overhead for them. If there is a high chance of being caught and of serving time, their overhead goes up.
She belongs to the streets.
He can’t admit that the lax shoplifting laws are to blame, and doesn’t want to break solidarity with BLM and the Dim state government, so he does an ineffective but showy end run and goes after people fencing stolen goods to pacify the people.
Here in DC, the Dims are up against the same thing. The only supermarket in Anacostia is saying that they can no longer do business there if the theft rates remain astronomical. The local councilman wants to post cops in the store to prevent a food desert from happening, and the mayor is talking about enforcing the law but halting the no bail policies.
Good luck with all that.
Fellow special educator here; my hat’s off to you!
This is the argument they use to blame the illegal drug trade on Americans. Say it only exists because people buy them. They can carry this out to all illegal activities I suppose.
To them, two wrongs make a right?
It is amazing that someone can be that stupid, but she really is.
Ugh.
Hey Mayor!
It’s hard to sell stuff you’ve not stolen yet!
(cue Penn voice)
To you also😊
Yeah, because a profit motive has never been the case, only just recently. It’s breathtaking how stupid this lady is, only eclipsed by the Los Angeles voters.

Bass is already stupid. And now, she’s signed up for the Ph.D course in stupid. I wonder if she has to label her shoes “left” and “right” so she puts them on correctly.
Astounding how someone so stupid can actually win an election.
They’ll say anything to avoid admitting that it’s overwhelmingly black mobs that are committing these crimes.
Without profit, there would be no designer goods for the thugs to steal.
So much. Before defund the police and Soros DAs , the same stuff couldve been stolen for “profits” but they werent…. Not like what were seeing now and only an idiot wouldnt have thought this is the natural progression of such insane policies. Even 50 cent sees this.
Grinning like a shit eating dog, the Black mayor wears her hair in the African Lice Cut style while lacking the intelligence to comprehend what she said
On which turnip truck did he hitch a ride?
