On Friday’s broadcast of “The Issue Is,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city and “things like this happen” when there are profits.
Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table. And I will tell you that, just the other day, they made eleven arrests.

Make the consequences worse than any profit that might be made. It's pretty simple but not for someone of low intelligence.

To truly comprehend cause and effect, you have to have more than 6 working brain cells.
Since there are no lie-berals in this country today with more than 6 working brain cells (or they wouldn't be lie-berals), and Mayor Bass is a huge braindead lie-beral, things are only going to get worse!!!!!

Are they really that stupid or do they just think their citizens are that stupid? As long as they continue to vote these idiots into office I guess I will have to go with the stupid citizen angle.

Is it actually possible for someone to be this deluded and stupid? Or is it that she thinks that WE are that stupid?
No punishment for stealing.....more stealing. Ideas so totally crazy that only the highly educated products of major universities could possibly believe them.

We had a great candidate for Mayor, the builder Rick Caruso, but unfortunately he was a White male. He won on Election Day before they counted Mail in ballots. Sadly the usual in California.

Karen, then explain why the bad guys are telling store owners "there is nothing you can do to me" and then steal them blind.

Well no kidding. Criminals profit from crime. That's like saying people rob banks bc that's where the money is.
This is her way of saying, I truly don't care. And why should she? She will be reelected w 85% of the vote.

They’re all imbeciles. Given the voter fraud following all Democrat jurisdictions like a trail of smoking garbage still SOMEBODY hadda vote for ‘em, even so Democrat politicians are shall we say seemingly immune to the conclusions determined in normal people by cause-and-effect reasoning.
Or are blithely lying through their teeth; knowing full well they are prevaricating but in the expectation their words will be reflexively parroted by a press laboring under the same pretense.
The same percentage of news consumers are too unfixably stupid or again too personally corrupt to admit it.
A new low.
Ya try and stay cynical but it’s so hard to keep up.

She is the reflection of those who voted for her, a MORON! I'm calling my friend in L.A. to get the puck out of there and don't look back! Incredible. She's a piece of specimen alright.

Continue down this lawless road and it will ring the death knell for an ordered society. When that happens, chaos and violence becomes the norm, and society as we know it collapses and it becomes the survival of the fittest. Theft is not normal and will have devastating consequences if it continues to be ignored. Leftist radicals in any position of power in our government are driving us into a lawless society wherein they are the arbitrator of law and order. The Ten Commandments have served us well for a reason. They are God’s rules that govern a civilized society. Abandon them at your peril. It will not go well because societies thrive when there is law and order. This lawlessness is one big reason our country is in dangerous decline. We cannot abandon law and order and expect to thrive. It cannot be done.

As always, #20 says it as well as it can be said. I also agree with #21 that the only way to deal with these brazen thieves is to put fear into them, fear of being shot to death by retailers who have finally had enough. If the law doesn't stop these flash mob robbers, good citizens will have to resort to vigilantism. That will get extremely nasty, but the government has failed yet again to protect its citizens and their livelihoods. In bluest areas of the country, it appears that the government cares more for criminals than for its own good citizens. This cannot end well.

The Mayor is right. There is profit in this kind of thing.
Especially when there is NO cost of doing business in the form of being caught, jailed and prosecuted.
Mayor Bass only sees one side of the equation here. Not too bright.

OMG. 11 arrests out of a population of 3.8 MILLION. Somebody's sitting on their tushes - besides the mayor, of course.

Since the Communist Death Democrats love to play the race card can we also mention that like the vast majority of mayors who are and have destroyed most of the large and medium cities in America this willful overseer of the Los Angeles Communist Death Democrat Plantation are black? NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, etc. Anyone else notice the common denominator here?

This is Bidenomics. Business top priority is supporting government policy, and they might 'protect' you in return. From each according to their ability. To each according to their need. And that person with a need is a throwback to an era before humanity would even be considered civilized. And that person only values what they can take with their two hands because it makes it theirs and not yours and might makes right and there is no law.

Clueless Dingbat! Ask Dick's Sporting Goods how much profit is made by allowing shoplifting as their stock is bottoming out. The only "profit" seen is when some skinny inner-city feral in a hoodie steals a $25K watch and sells it for two hundred bucks on the street. It cost him nothing, ergo, profit.

It would be interesting to follow the cases of the 11 arrested. I bet most, if not all, will be let go with a slap on the wrist.

Where do the democrats find these mayors or are they hiring them because they want to be fair and give every nut case a chance to be Mayor of their cities?

This is what the residents of California want. They've proven this by who they vote for over and over again. My attitude is if this is what they want then let them have at it. Just don't bother me when you financially collapse, you should be on your own.

Just like in Chicago and NYC the good people of our second largest city have elected a mayor stupider than the last one.

Hey, Los Angeles, this is what you voted for. Karen "Wide Mouth" Bass, a serial public-office holder. It isn't going to get better until you stop voting for candidates solely because there's a D after their names.
