80 people can steel up to $950 worth of stuff without worry. Seems these thieves know that and now just go in with a lot of people and there will be no real issues to them. Thanks Democratic Party for the BLM/WOKE and white supremacy nonsense!

What’s armed security gonna do? Shoot them? In Democratic San Francisco they will prosecute you for that. No rent a cop will bother. The fish rots from the head down. Let it rot some more. Soon San Francisco will lose retail businesses, property values will decline and they’ll finally wake up from their Woke-mare.

FFS, we have one poster repeatedly offering "reasoning" that Louis Vitton deserved this because of how they price their goods. Everyone got that? Supply and demand now constitutes loss of your natural rights to NOT BE ROBBED/ASSAULTED, because the pricing of goods within a market based on supply and demand is now an assault/violent act and if you are robbed/assaulted as a result, well then f**k you, you had that crap coming.

WTMF has happened to this country?

EDIT/afterthought - the people literally defending thieves/vandals/street thugs because the store belongs to a wealthy corporation sound EXACTLY like the looter/moocher villains in "Atlas Shrugged". Seriously, a gaggle of Phillip and Lillian Reardens in here, making Rand look prescient. That's funny to me.
Not the entire country. Just certain parts.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these stores like LV employ what other retail stores use exploding paint inside purses on display.

Don't ever count on a liberal suddenly becoming sane.

They could be up to their eyebrows in crime and will completely ignore the problem, despite it being harmful to them, as it would threaten their virtue signaling to fellow libs.

A liberal would rather be dead than to be considered the worst thing imaginable- being called a "racist"!

This what happens when liberals cut back on the police budgets...

This is going to become a national problem anyplace where upstanding citizens and police refuse to defend their communities.

If you choot some of these barbarian scum this will stop pdq. But in America if you do you will be "Rittenhoused." Persecuted politically by the left far in excess of the law.

Why don't jewelry stores use that thick bulletproof plexiglas banks have for windows and displays to deter robbers?

Dang. Southland Mall is "my mall of origin" and I grew up hanging out there back in the 70's. Haven't been there in many decades and I knew it wasn't great, but this still makes me angry.

People need to fear injury and death while committing crimes. That's how it's always been and how it always should be. Some people need a healthy fear to stop them doing things like this. They will never live by societies rules.
