I am surprised these Big Box Stores are not loading up with security. Off duty cops, etc. There was another massive smash and grab at a Nordstrom's Saturday night in Walnut Creek, CA.

If you remember the Kentucky Fried Quote "Take him to Detroit", I think it's time to replace Detroit with San Francisco saying "Take him to San Francisco".

And look like we won't listen to any songs about San Francisco the same way anymore.

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.

Default Looters target stores in Hayward and San Jose

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.)

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.

Maybe now they will.

Previously the communities were separate. People living in rich neighborhoods paid a lot in real estate to be away from the crimes and for their children to be in nice schools. They can read NYT and vote Democrat just to feel enlightened and superior.

Now these people are no longer insulated. Criminals are invading their swanky malls and Critical Race Theory invading the schools.

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.
