Disneyland is huge. Security arrives in 3.5 minutes according to the clip. All of them were on foot (or so it appears). I doubt that there's a security team waiting around every 100 feet. Seems to me they made good time considering the circumstances. Does security not have electric carts to quickly go from here to there?
Mostly what I noticed was a lack of recognizable uniform outside of the red strip up and down the pants. Some security personnel didn't even have that. I wouldn't have recognize any of them as Security if I was a tourist.
I've never been to Disneyland. I have no desire to go. I have even less desire to go now that I've seen that?!
Disneyland? This has nothing to do with Disneyland.
Blaming the victim? Why should a worker be put in the position to have to call the police in the first place? You do realize that other business owners see this and it effects their decision on locations to expand.
Pardon me for trying to get the facts of the case. Whether you approve or not, some workers do get trained in how to respond if a crime goes down.
This has nothing to do with business locations decisions, anyway, since anyplace can be randomly targeted.
In my area we haven’t seen these types of incidents. However we have had news stories locally asking why does one section of the city that was once a vibrant commercial area now have so many vacant buildings that were once successful businesses. The news stories all seemed to ignore the obvious reasons, high crime rates of theft. Even the Walmart in that area ended up building a new store away from the area and closing the old store. That Walmart parking lot was nearly always full but not everyone was paying for what they were taking from the store and that includes the employees and management. What ends up happening is all the decent stores go out of business or move to another area. The thieves are left with either doing without or traveling to the new location to steal stuff. And who suffers from all this theft? The honest hard working people of the community are left with traveling further for their shopping, some of whom could only walk or tak a bus to the store. Long time employees loosing their jobs because the new store location was already built and staffed before shutting down the old location. Small independent business owners cant afford to move so they make sacrifices to stay open or they give up and close permanently. Then comes the claims of racism. “Businesses won’t come to the area because they’re racist”. BS! Businesses will go anywhere they can make money. But they will evaluate the risk before deciding to move to an area. They’ll do research on all those vacant buildings to see what businesses were at those locations and why did they go out of business. Skin color didn’t make them close. Rising amount of theft and violence made them close. Losses from stolen or damaged merchandise, rising insurance rates to cover liability of employees getting injured or killed in a robbery, and the cost of increasing store security measures all add up to a loss of profits. The thieves don’t think like that. To them they’re taking it from a rich company when they’re actually taking it from their own community. The more flash mob robberies like this happen in a community, the less likely a business would be willing to open up within that community. That video will be the image outsiders see of their community.
What is the difference where it happened, at least someone had the guts to speak up and he is 100% correct. These were all black teenagers. We live in a civilized society and this should not be tolerated. The Left keeps ignoring the truth about why there are so many blacks in prison. And the response to all the replies calling me a racist...."Blah, blah, blah".
That poster made a huge deal about stating obvious facts, and one of their claims was that something like this only happens in inner-city, minority neighborhoods. In fact, this happened in one of the whitest, most well-to-do neighborhoods in all of Philadelphia. So that person who was so concerned with facts got a very important fact wrong that could have been checked using a very simple Google search.
I don't know if you're a racist or not, but I do know the person I quoted in my original post is an idiot, as they so demonstrated in their post.
