Gavin Newsom revealed Wednesday that he once witnessed a shoplifter steal from Target without any interference from workers, one of whom blamed the California governor for emboldened criminals in the state before she realized who he actually was. (snip) Newsom said he was on the Target checkout line when he and a store worker saw the thief waltz out of the store with items he didn’t pay for, according to footage posted online.
“I said, ‘why didn’t you stop him,’” Newsom said. “She goes, ‘oh, the governor.’ Swear to God, true story on my mom’s grave. ‘The governor lowered the threshold, there’s no accountability.’

Sure, go ahead and try to spot the theft. Get yourself injured and as a reward, the company fires you for trying to stop the theft.

I doubt that they didn't know who he was.

Unfortunately it's not just in Kalifornia...I was in line at a grocery in Indiana and a little girl, who had a preggie mom and a bit older brother, picked up a plastic covered candy egg and played around with it..her mom was loading the conveyor...the line moved along and the little girl, probably 7 or 8 put it in a fold of her puff jacket...kept it there while mom kept loading the conveyor and checked out...I didn't say anything because I didn't want get involved with a preg mom defending her child...but I kept looking daggers at the kid...and she just looked back...

'store employees are instructed not to try to stop this.
1. The person has to adtually exit the store without pauing.
2. The employee could be hurt.
Thwe answer is bigger fines and punishments for those caught and real store secureity officers wjo could apprehend thieves outside.
The flash mobs - mostly young blacks, male and female - are another story. I'm told revolving doors can help prevent this. Think about it...

If the Attorney General answers to the Governor, then he very much deserves blame. Kalifornians elect the AG, though, so I blame the voters and the flood of campaign funding given by Soros to get these DEI visionary jerks running the state's injustice department.

Everything the clerk said was true. Why didn't HE chase after the thief? AND, dumbest of all, who brags about being the 10th best at anything?

This story doesn’t fully ring true. FTA: “And then she goes – she looks at me twice and then she freaks out – she calls everyone over, wants to take photos,” Newsom said – a request he apparently turned down.”
Newsom never misses an opportunity to get in front of a camera lens.

What a stupid governor? He lies like a rhino in mud. If it were me, and it's never me, I would have called everyone over to tell his head a mess. I probably would have gotten fired that day. But then, I'd never work at Target.

If Peter denied even knowing Jesus, we can refuse to recognize Governor Gruesome. There's a lot of his relative Nancy Pelosi in him. And it's amazing there's any room for her, with him being so stinkin' full of himself.

No, no! He looks like a con man, not a petty thief. You must learn your criminal types!
