The security guard wanted nothing to do with this it seems.

Quote:
Brazen thieves in New York were seen on camera stealing high-end purses from a Louis Vuitton location in Westchester.

"The pro-criminal policies of @GovKathyHochul (ie. No cash bail) have made communities all across NY less safe. This brazen robbery of a @LouisVuitton occurred at my local mall @TheWestchester in White Plains," Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino tweeted Friday accompanied by the video.

The video shows people inside the store last month attempting to stop the two suspects from grabbing the high-end purses. A man who appears to be a mall security guard is seen in the background watching the skirmish and not assisting.

What can he do? If he tries to stop the thieves he might get hurt. If he tries to stop them he might accidentally injure one of those precious children that are only stealing because you know racism, oppression, white supremacy, social justice and much deserved and owed reparations to name a few... If he hurts one of those thieves by trying to stop them who is going to be in more trouble?

If he did manage to collar one of those thugs, the Police arrest him and the store chooses to prosecute what is rally going to happen to the thug? He is going to be out of jail, no bail, before the security guards shift ends and if the case does go to a trial the guy will get a slap on the wrist because the prisons are over crowded and the city/state doesn't want to pay to house the thug. It is easier to just let him go and hope he doesn't up his brazen crimes to the point that good people get hurt, but hey that is what insurance is for, and if he should kill someone? well that is just another stat, an anecdote to bury and ignore.



This is the world the Democrats voted for.

Glad to see by-standers stepping in, albeit unsuccessfully. I think the silent majority is finally reaching the breaking point and feels the only recourse is to take matters into their own hands. The legal system has failed law abiding people. Vigilantism is the next step to save a civil society.

If that happens, watch how fast the police become the enemy of not only the criminals...but also the law abiding.

Bingo. Criminals are enabled and defended while the police are accused of being big meanies. I’d love to see them walk off the job and let folks fend for themselves. They’d be begging for them back in a week, lol….but I do love watching theses Lib cities/states reap what they sow. I also love watching their tax base crumble when folks leave in droves.

When they bite the hands that feed them the enablers realize the error of their ways real quick. Folks reaping what they sow is great to watch, as they’re not smart enough not to have to learn the hard way.
