Horrifying footage shows the moment up to 50 looters ransacked a luxury accessories concession at a Los Angeles Nordstrom store.
The footage shows men in dark hoodies and face masks ransacking the department store at Westfield Topanga Mall, even resorting to attacking security guards with bear spray.
Videos have rapidly circulated on social media, depicting the mob shattering display cases and grabbing high-end designer accessories, some still affixed with electronic security tags.

There should be some 'bargains' online coming soon. Start your own business!

For one, it's now called 'A Gathering' - not looters or a mob . The lady mayor said stealing $100K worth of merchandise is 'unacceptable' so I'm sure they won't do it again. /s off

The solution is probably turnstile doors that require you to scan your drivers license to enter. Similar to the way you are now allowed to access military bases.

Just one of those unfortunate incidents that is contributing to our perception that there is an increase in crime.

Nothing to see here -- merely a gathering of aspiring rappers just starting to get their lives back together.

Lootings - - lootings - - lootings everywhere.
There seems to be a common thread to all of them - - but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe - - maybe they're all done by "teens" - - and maybe by "ypuths"? Yes - - I think that's it - - it's the teens and youths who are doing all of them.

Re #5, just turnstile doors could be a good idea.
At the prices for those luxury items, each one of these looters undoubtedly exceeded the $950 that makes theft of property a felony.

Another raid by the usual suspects.
This is not a problem with American culture it is a problem with the culture of the usual suspects.
You could not find that many white supremacists to gather in a planned raid like that.
Make those electronic security tags with a tracking device so you can track the items to the thieves.

Suspects fled in waiting luxury cars, including Lexus' and BMW's....cameras are EVERYWHERE there, every corner, every stoplight, every store, shop, business, bank, complete with plate reader and driver identification, camera ticketing is a major fundraising tool for the local govts. Will they only use that tech for seatbelt violations to be mailed out? Or will they use it to combat coordinated criminal gang activities?

The mayor may be on to something.
FTA: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass responded to the incident in a statement issued Saturday evening: 'What happened today at the Nordstrom in the Topanga Mall is absolutely unacceptable,'

Large throw nets like they use to capture wide life could be spring loaded and dropped from the ceiling.
As a kid around 1970 I recall the family going to the Topanga Plaza mall, it was a real experience, I think it was one of the first shopping malls in LA.

This is looting and should be treated as such. Sadly it won't and many retail businesses will closed or inventory will not be open to customers. You'll have to order online or from a kiosk.

But as the Mayor of Chicago astutely pointed out, we must not "demonize" these "young people". They don't really understand right from wrong, doncha know. Once they mature they will become upstanding citizens.
Nothing to worry about.
In the meantime, just continue to lamely accept the "unacceptable" .

Why are all the black faces so carefully hidden? C'mon, DMUK, we know who and what they are. The cries that a shopping desert exists in Los Angeles will begin very soon.

Once they learn to keep all those “White Supremests” out of the shopping malls those theft problems will disappear.

Urban Thug Culture in action.... again.
It seems to me that the only way stores in these areas can stay in business is to adopt a business model where the only customers allowed in the stores are paid-club members, operating like Sam's Club.... and the doorkeepers having the ability and store policy authorization to instantly lock the doors if the situation warrants it.
Anyone else would make their purchases by pre-ordering using their 'phone and pre-pay using a credit card (what self-respecting Urban Thug or Welfare Queen does not have both an ObamaPhone and an EBT card?) then picking up their items at a service window.
Other than that, these stores will close, then the Thug's apologists in the Media will decry the 'Racist Retail Desert' (all Whitey's fault, of course) in the area.

FTA: The men appeared to be targeting the luxury Italian fashion brand Bottega Veneta, known for its signature woven leather handbags. Investigators believe the group stole about $60,000 and $100,000 worth of merchandise. The criminals used bear spray to attack at least two security guard at the store. The extent of their injuries are unclear. Bear spray, deployed from pressurized canisters, contains capsaicin and other ingredients that can inflame the eyes and upper respiratory system.
So the strong armed robbers now resort to spraying this nearly pure capsicum into the eyes of store employees. Anyone who comes into a store intending to run off with whatever he can steal, and is prepared to injure anyone who gets in his way, should be shot down DRT (dead right there). Shoot as many as necessary. Eventually, the feral robbers will learn. Society can well do without any of these people.

Whatever happened to the warning phrase “Loo***s Will be ——,” uttered by the some?
After all, why should anyone WORK when they can just take? NO need to break a sweat.
As such, many have become professional takers. Get in - take - get out.
Just asking for a non-woke friend …

This is simply the latest liberal version of affirmative action.
You simply AFFIRM that there is something of value that can be
taken safely (no police) and ACT on that affirmation.

Hope everyone in the area likes shopping at Korean corner stores with 250% markup.
Here is a PSA - don't loot a Korean corner store. They are not very politically correct when it comes to stealing their livelihood.

This looting could easily be stopped...locked double doors at exit. Let them in then trap them inside the double doors...No AC, Food OR Water for a time will convince them to drop the merchandise!
