About 80 people, some wearing ski masks and wielding crowbars, ransacked a high-end department store in the San Francisco Bay Area, assaulting employees and stealing merchandise before fleeing in cars waiting outside, police and witnesses said. Three people were arrested while the majority got away after the large-scale theft Saturday night shocked shoppers at the Nordstrom at the Broadway Plaza outdoor mall in Walnut Creek, police said in a statement Sunday. NBC Bay Area reporter Jodi Hernandez tweeted that she saw the thieves rush into the store in the downtown shopping district in the city some 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.

I'd be in favor of defunding the police to put more rittenhouses out there, costs taxpayers less overall getting volunteers providing protection rather than paid.
I doubt more police could have stopped them though, unless there was 80 cops right there.

In Walnut Creek too, which is not even in the city. No way to stop them and if you do people will say “they were only taking a shirt” because they were cold!

The good news is that there will be designer items for 50% off on ebay and craigslist to buy for your significant others. You guys are so negative.

BTW, Walnut Creek is not Sf. Let's get the right city. This is what Sf is finally doing now.

meh it's San Fran, been a liberal dump for quite some time now. I mean if their own Governor/Mayors/Political Leaders etc. don't care and allow it too happen why would I give a flying f*ck...burn the entire sh*tbox of a city down for all I care, it's what they want apparently

It's true, the people vote in these liberal clowns that destroy their own cities. It's on the people and they will suffer.
I almost don't care anymore myself at what happens in these liberal cities. Homeless and drugs out of control also in these city streets.

Note to self don't open retail store in or around San Fran area!
Interesting that prop 47 has not effected the rest of the state in the same way
Why San Francisco? If the problem stems in part from a change in California law, why aren’t other cities in the state seeing similar spikes in shoplifting?

They don't follow the news closely enough to know things like this happen.
...
They'll label you a conspiracy theorist, if you try to explain it
Its hard to convince people to care enough to be informed.
When they're determined never to care.

When their cities turn into Detroit ghost towns like in the late 80's and 90's then they finally wake up and just hop on the next bus and move to another nicer ghetto in America with open stores. Rinse, repeat and wash all over again.

I try to see the glass half full as well, I don't condone petty thievery, but I don't feel bad for LV stores - their insurance will pay for everything, and while I wouldn't shoplift, I'm not going to investigate when I find I good deal on items I want.
It's way worse when petty thieves rob private homes and people on the street, so if they leave regular people alone and just rob banks and stores that have insurance, I'm ok with that.

This is true. Too many people voted for Biden that don't even follow politics or watch the news. They only voted because they didn't like Trumps personality. It's a shame because the country was doing so good under Trump yet these idiots couldn't even realize it. Now we have $4 gas and food prices going up everyday. But Joe is a nice guy. Fuk.

The problem with your logic is that most stores will all board up and shut down in the end. You won't be able to get goods in the city you live in when store raiding is out of control. Grocery stores also will close in the very end.
CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!! Gotta have law and order. Stop the bail reform and the $900 or less shop lifting no crime laws in these liberally ran cities.

Totally man, I don't agree with daily free to alls of thievery, I don't even like to see it happen once - and you're right that of it keeps happening stores won't bother opening since insurance will stop paying out or will stop selling them insurance.
I'm just saying that as bad as it is or as bad as these 2 incidents are, hopefully it's not a regular occurrence because if it is a one off the insurance will pay for everything and not much lost except for insurance company shareholder profits.
But yeah if it keeps happening then it's a big problem...but making tougher penalties won't stop it, like that 3 strikes getting life before out west - if it keeps happening it better to fortify stores to lock out thieves from breaking in.

The other problem with this level of insanity - insurance prices keep going up - the cost of goods keep going up - the store ends up closed and all those jobs are lost - rinse repeat somewhere else

Perhaps the worst of the worst in America today on how fast the decline is happening. I'd hate to live in SF right now and own property or a business.

Nevada pretty bad too. I'm here in Vegas right now and people worship the mask and get on your case immediately when you take it off.

Business owners facing the possibility of skyrocketing, potentially prohibitive, insurance rates because of crime.
Yeah, that really compares to being asked to wear a chin diaper in Vegas when there are plenty of exceptions to get out of it, like holding a beer.
