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!
This is the start of a big boost to the armed security industry, I expect all of the high-end stores in malls and big shopping centers to start contacting for protection. Many of those places already have power operated steel doors blocking their entire front when closed, they are likely to be fitted with faster motors that allow them to be closed quickly when the security people see the looters coming on the cameras.
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.
It's remarkable how many people in this thread, and America generally, defend initiations of force based on their general distaste for the victim.
Basically, because rich people suck, it's cool to initiate force against them and harm them. Screw them, they are rich, therefore icky, so WGAFF if people rob and/or assault them? Serves them right for having more than other people, eh?
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.
When are voters going to wake up and comprehend that the Democrats they vote for are destroying their communities? And if you think your centrist Democrat you sent to the US Congress will be an independent thinker, you are wrong. All the dems are bending the knee, voting in lockstep for whatever Pelosi and Schumer tell them to vote for.
...for those of you who think there is a political solution to this mess we're in...when the country is governed by two political party's who both answer to the same masters, well, good luck with that...

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"!
More Bay Area stores have been hit by mobs of looters. If I lived in that area (which, thankfully, I don't) I would not go to any high-end stores, at least not in the evenings. (So far, it seems that the crimes have occurred after sundown. So far.)

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.
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.
