Crime Cometh

The latest smash and grab mob store invasion just happened at Nordstrom in San Francisco. 30-50 of young men ran into the San Fran Nordstrom and laid waste. They carried bear mace with them, violently destroyed the area carrying every high-end item that they could. All of this occurred in broad daylight as law abiding citizens spending their hard earned income stood by idly, likely petrified.

Retail theft is now estimated to be a $100 billion annual business loss in America at present… annually. Read that again.

Where is the police response?…oh yes, they have been ordered not to interfere on thefts of under $900. Their numbers are reduced and they may actually not have been able to respond in time. And if they did respond and have and absolutely appropriate physical conflict with these young men, that likely would have led to convictions of the officers, lawsuits, and allegations of brutality. So the police are standing down nationwide, and you are on your own. If you load up the video of the mass looting, imagine to yourself that that is your home and that you are one of the nearby patrons in the isles. Imagine to yourself that someone has broken in, and the police are nowhere to be found. What would you do?
