Shoplifters Are Looting In Broad Daylight In Blue Cities, Police Hands Are Tied Under Democrat Leadership

[Lovin Jesus]

And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. Matthew 24:12

Following a relentless effort by the Democrat establishment to demonize and defund the police, crime rates in deep-blue cities, including New York City, Portland, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and St. Louis, are skyrocketing.

Muggings, vehicle break-ins, carjackings and homicides are surging in blue cities across the country amid the implementation of bail-reform laws that keep violent offenders out of jail and legislative measures that put the burden of liability on police officers while emboldening criminals.

As Violent Crime SURGES across America, some politicians and some in the media are gaslighting the public into thinking the Police are the Problem…

Homicides:
Atlanta 58%
Portland 533%
Philadelphia 37%

Shootings:
New York City 64%
Los Angeles 51%
Chicago 18%

In San Francisco, Prop 47 prevents police officers from arresting or even intervening with anyone shoplifting up to $950 of merchandise.
Now, thieves are looting stores in broad daylight.

Hubby saw on the news that the CA robbers who ramsacked Nordstrom's actually were carrying calculators so their stolen wares wouldn't total more than the limit there for prosecution. ($950 maybe3?)

That's what these organized "shoplifters" are doing.

 

[mattfivefour]

Of course the robbers are using calculators! That's how the law is now written: if you steal under that amount you will not face any serious penalty. That's a fact. So how do you know you're safe when you're out stealing? Use a calculator. Just common sense.

If you need anything just go to California and steal whatever it is as long as it is not over $950.

would seem to be the message.

I saw looters who were at a Louis Vuitton store and I'm wondering what they could have stolen for under $950? I can't afford to walk by that particular store.

I imagine it does. And it's so frustrating to the law abiding citizen. Like @TimeWarpWife mentioned...some of us choose not to spend our money on name brand, high end items....but the robbers walk in and waltz out with these things that honest, hard working people don't have.

It’s not like that everywhere. Would not be tolerated in this neck of the woods. Yet...

 

[Footsteps]

This might work for a while:
Maintain a rack near the door containing calculators for determining the $950 limit. When leaving the store, stop the shoplifter and determine whether he stole the calculator and forgot to include its cost in his total. If over the limit, he can be arrested.

Good to hear.

Don't forget to add in sales tax, and subtract any coupons the crooks may have. Do loyalty points still accrue?

And don't forget to apply for a credit card for a free Christmas gift on your way out the door.

I think that happened in Nordstrom's.

 

[Lovin Jesus]

Pretty much every store I have gone to in my area of Cali I noticed a big change in how they arranged the stores by using store shelving and merchandise to make everyone go around to exit the store, no doubt to make it harder for potential thieves to steal by blocking the exit. Many have put "hot items" under lock behind glass cabinets as Walmart has.
Honestly though I don't think the thieves care because they know the law is on their side if what they steal falls under prop 47.

In democrat-run cities, it is. We'll see what happens under a demoncrat administration.

 

[DWB]

It's going to continue until as long as local govt allows it. Or brick and mortar stores no longer exist.

Oh, our so fake governor No-some gave a fake response to the mass organized "smash n grab" incidents that occurred last week in a news conference, he does love the media attention, by saying he will impose a measure to give extra funding for law enforcement to bring this activity to a stop and to prosecute the ones doing this. Really? All talk and "smoke n mirrors". The thieves are smart. Where are they doing their hit jobs? In liberal run cities with liberal elected DA's who happen to be funded by Soros. Of course they hit San Francisco with a DA, a Soros backed DA who never prosecutes criminal activities. Same in Los Angeles with a DA also backed by Soros. Ever since the Los Angeles DA took office the crime rate has risen 200% from statistics taken earlier this year. The liberals keep pushing to cut back on law enforcement while at the same time increasing their personal armed security. They allow for their so called quality of life laws protecting the criminals and disregarding victims rights and protections, but they protect their own property and selves.

Ah, the finer points of public education. These thieves can't even do the arithmetic in their heads.
