'Crime is basically legal in San
Francisco': Furious shopper posts
video of horde of shoplifters fleeing
Neiman Marcus—totally unchecked
—with armfuls of designer bags

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 7/6/2021 2:55:19 PM

A video posted to Instagram captures yet another brazen act of shoplifting in San Francisco, this time at the luxury department store Neiman Marcus where at least ten people stole armfuls of designer goods and then fled without anyone trying to stop them. The footage reveals the shoplifters leaving the Union Square store, each carrying bags of stolen items with the security tags still dangling off of them. The perpetrators then ran in different directions, with a few speeding away from the scene in a white sedan.(Snip)The city’s surge in such incidents arose almost immediately after the passage of Proposition 47, a ballot referendum

Comments:

San Francisco voters demanded the law that allows people to steal, in the name of Equity, but now they're tired of all the shoplifting. This is a clear-cut case of racism, since People of Color seem to comprise all such incidents caught on camera.

Next election. San Francisco residents will vote for more democrats because the ones they voted for the last time couldn't control looting or the homeless. The new bunch of leftists that will be voted in will control the looting and solve the homeless problem much better. If not, then another group of demoslut leftists will be voted in the fix the problem.

Without reading the whole DM rant, it may come as a jolt to reporters that the goods have to be carried outside the store before it is considered to be shoplifting. I know, I know….they smashed cases and grabbed. They still have to be apprehended OUTSIDE the store. In this case, they’d have been long gone before police got there and unarmed store security would have been put in danger by their number. This is not new. It has been going on in stores - Apple Stores, for ample - for a long, long time, and not just in San Francisco, nor in California, but all over the country in high end stores.

So a gang of feral people each steal $949.99 in goods and are allowed to walk away scot free. Now if they do this several times per day, several times per week, that's a pretty good payout. Retailers and the public are helpless to stop this thanks to the useless criminal loving DA's and neutered police departments. If anyone were to dare try to stop the thefts, they would be accused of racism. Anitfa and BLM would be protesting at their doors for discriminating against "shoppers of color".

Re #2, I was mistaken. The definition of shoplifting has changed since I was in retail years ago. Here is a pretty good rundown: https://goldsteinlawgroup.com/practice-areas/shoplifting-california-penal-code-459-5/ This crowd fit the definition, but became Catch Me If You Can-ners...

This represents the breakdown of civilization in San Francisco. This insurrection that was sanctioned by the ruling class also imposed a de facto habitual criminal tax on the law abiding.

Neiman Marcus appears to be (IS?) WOKE, so if Neiman Marcus doesn't care if they get ripped off why should I care? People are mobile, they can shop anywhere they wish. Even if they live in San Francisco they don't have to buy high end products in San Francisco. Pay the shipping and shop online. Let San Francisco brick and mortar go belly up. It's obvious that no one cares.

No retailer at any point on the spectrum will be able to stay in business under these conditions. Big cities like SF used to draw tourists just for the high-end shopping. Amazon and the like have cut into that, but the legalized looting will finish it off. One less reason for outsiders to spend in the city, and lots fewer places for San Franciscans to buy what they need. But as long as Nancy can get her ice cream, nothing will change.

In a retailer's term, this is called "shrink". At some point when the shrink rate diminishes the NOI, the store closes and solves the shrink problem. Store will reopen in a less crime riddled area.

‘You can’t fix stupid,’ is not just a catch-phrase, it is a succinct statement of a state of mind. One that neither knows nor wants to know what is real and what is not. Stupid is not lack of intelligence, very intelligent people can be amazingly stupid. If actual malevolence is not at play in proposing and passing these ridiculous propositions, at the very least it is because of gross stupidity and unfortunately that cannot be fixed. We can only hope these stupid people do not pull up stakes and move our way.

Literally within weeks of the passage of Prop 47 (who VOTED for that?! I didn’t! Insane!!) property crime increased in my South Bay neighborhood. When the police were approached about increasing patrols their response was, essentially, we still lived in a very safe neighborhood because so few FELONIES were committed! What - do they think we are stupid? Three weeks earlier stealing my TV WAS a felony! Few locals like to go to SF to shop or anything - car break-ins are astronomical in the city. Why drive to SF to have stuff stolen when you can just have your car broken into in your own driveway? Sheesh!

This was the Union Square store, so the argument about retailers wanting to close stores in high-crime neighborhoods falls flat in the city of San Francisco. Way to go, Mr. District Attorney.

Maybe they're upset because the looting is going on in the wrong neighborhoods? Target and Walmart are fair game but their stores? Their neighborhoods? That's not the way it's supposed to work. They are open minded liberals up until their ox is gored. My husband did some monthly routine maintenance on a very very, high end boutique on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. They were paying $4000 per month for his work. After two smash and grabs and last summer's riots, the ladies will have to shop elsewhere for their accessories. That store be gone.

A South Carolina congresswoman is stocking up on firearms and taking target practice after her home was vandalized. Rep.

It doesn’t feel safe,” the Republican freshman lawmaker told the network. “I carry a gun wherever I go today.

No one has milked the events of January 6 more than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). She set the official narrative early and often, a storyline her scribes in the news media have dutifully repeated without question or scrutiny. “[Y]esterday, the president of the United States incited an armed insurrection against America, the gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American democracy,” Pelosi lamented in a hyperdramatic press conference the day after the raucous protest. She accused President Trump of “sedition” and urged his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him just two weeks before he officially left the White House.

The Capitol is still locked down, still closed to Americans. One has to ask why. The Democrats are going to try to use the ‘investigation’ of the three-hour Capitol riot by a select committee to continue an effort to connect Republicans to the event and bash them going into 2022. All that is troubling. But now there’s something that perhaps is even more troubling because of the clear potential for abuse. According to the New York Times, the U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are now planning to expand operations outside Washington “beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida” but the plan is to open “several additional regional offices.”
