Chicago (CBS) - A burglar who can't see something can't steal it either – that is the idea behind a new method of deterring crime by using fog. As CBS 2's Tara Molina reported Tuesday, the technology behind the fog release is a brand-new way of fighting the mass retail thefts plaguing the city. (Snip) "DensityUSA's instant fog technology is pretty unique," said Mike Egel, president and chief executive officer of DensityUSA. "When a criminal breaks in after hours, the alarm deploys; the fog deploys, and in seconds, your business is going to be protected." The reason, Egel said, is because the burglars won't be able to see what they're doing.

Why would a thief or thieves rob after hours when they can do it by just walking in, taking it, and walking out - all without being stopped, and certainly without being prosecuted.

Here's a better idea, arrest them and put them in jail.

So, what's in the fog? Does it cause cancer? Are we going to sell poisoned clothes and food? More accidental "population reduction"? More lawsuits to enrich the donor class?

When enough Walmarts, Stop & Shops, and other assorted businesses close in high-crime neighborhoods because of 'unfavorable business environments', the Left will start passing decrees making it ILLEGAL to close. And there is your wealth redistribution!

Keep a pack of vicious dogs on the premises or better yet have a guard snake. Put out dummy packages of electronics T.V. Computers etc but instead of advertised content, there is poop or again snakes or bees

Deterrents work. Just hang the carcass of the last shoplifter from a lightpole in the parking lot. People will get the hint.

It'll all be virtual shopping in the near future. Fake but accurate shelf items, press 1 to select, pick your order up at the door. After it's paid for.

How about use some of the gadgets 'Q' invented for James Bond. Spray them with tar and feathers, or use a dart gun concealed in someone's sleeves. I also like the tea serving tray that will slice through a perp's neck.

#2 has the better idea. Give six months in jail. No fines, no getting a sentence reduced and no bail. Six months eating jail food, sleeping with their backs to the wall in case big Tyrone gets romantic and six months without their drugs. It would cut the shoplifting at least in half.

When I was a kid, all the big discount stores had an airlock type entrance where you went through one set of doors, and then several feet away was the door to enter the store. Install those, replace the glass with polycarbonate, and put remote locking mechanisms in the doors and once a thief attempts to leave the store, push a button, lock the doors and wait for the cops.

Will never work. If the thief trips over something in the fog and injures himself, he’ll win a huge lawsuit. We have to take good care of the thieves today.

I dunno.... If I was a burglar, I'd scope out the place, know where my target(s) were located, and use the fog for concealment. Just makes it harder for the police to find you if they do show up. plus it would blind the security cameras and probably interfere with the motion sensors.

Here's an idea. Have that fog come with ninja style guards with nightsticks. A couple of well placed upper body blows with shots to the upper legs will deter the average burglar because they won't see it coming.

The surging runner, who identified as transgender nonbinary in 2021, isn’t just winning for them. They said it was a win for the transgender community, too. “It was awesome,” Hiltz said after the win. “I think there’s so much hate right now, and specifically the bills being passed for trans youth.

Austin, Texas — Liberal policies have led to a shocking explosion in homeless camps across the state capital, with around 10,000 people living in 168 different areas that have popped up across the city, sources tell The Post. The illegal camps have been visited and mapped by local filmmaker Jaime Hammonds and show how out of control Austin’s homeless crisis has become. His map reveals the clandestine encampments have spread to a far greater extent than many taxpaying residents had previously realized — dotting the entire city, including near popular tourist destinations (Snip) Hammonds warns that an even bigger public safety threat could be looming as the sites remain largely unregulated

Federal agencies are secretly accumulating mountains of data that could be used for “blackmail, stalking, harassment and public shaming” of American citizens. That allegation doesn’t come from a pink-haired civil-liberties fanatic — it’s in a new report for the nation’s chief spymaster, Avril Haines. The Fourth Amendment recognized Americans’ right “to be secure . . . against unreasonable searches and seizures.” But Washington is mothballing that lofty standard for a new motto: “Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear.” The latest federal surveillance tsunami is being spurred by purchases of commercially available information (CAI) that private companies vacuum up from data from smartphones, computers and other digital devices and trackers.

If, like me, you find the presidential debate format a rather meaningless exercise, you will be astonished at what one-on-one interviews by a skilled interrogator can accomplish.

The supporters of former President Trump are absolutely correct about one thing. If every single Republican pledged their allegiance to him and fell in line he’d win the nomination easily. But he’d also lose the general election, again. He does not receive enough support from outside the traditional Republican and MAGA base to win in 2024. Hillary Clinton beat Trump by roughly 3 million in the popular vote in 2016. While Trump indeed did win the election by taking the required 270 electoral votes, just a few thousand votes in each of the key swing states would have changed that outcome into a Hillary Clinton landslide victory in 2016.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry made several observations about Hunter’s booze-filled days— which apparently aren’t over.

A federal judge in Oregon ruled on Friday that a new state gun law does not violate the US Constitution, keeping one of the toughest gun laws in the country in place. US District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled that Ballot Measure 114’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are constitutional because these magazines are “not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.” “Even if LCMs are protected by the Second Amendment, BM 114’s restrictions are consistent with this Nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety,” the ruling said.
