Wild Smash-and-Grabs in Dem Cities Now Turn Deadly – Opinion

By Pluralist / November 27, 2021

Black Friday is often viewed as a day when we are able to get great deals in the shops.

But instead, we’ve been seeing people thinking they could get more than a good deal — a five-finger discount, in fact. It’s happening at expensive stores in Democratic cities, particularly in California when they know that because of leftist prosecutors there, they will likely not suffer any real consequences even if they are caught in the act. All this is due to the Democratic policy that allows for leniency in criminal cases.

When even CNN is recognizing this as a problem in cities like San Francisco and Chicago, then you know Democrats can’t hide the hard reality of what their policies are causing.

As the police noted in the above video, one group that hit a Nordstrom store in Canoga Park didn’t stop with just stealing the high-end purses; they also attacked the security guard who tried to stop them, spraying him with bear spray. Some of these robbery groups are probably random groups of kids, but  gangs and organized crime can also use kids to do this — knowing that there’s very little likelihood of any real punishment as a result.

This is what we’re now getting with Democrats in charge — anarchy and chaos. Los Angeles Home Depot was robbed by a group called “smash-and-grab”. They stole what? They used crowbars and sledgehammers to hit even more stores. Unfortunately, it goes beyond just losing all sense of law and order and frightening people — now people are getting killed, as well.

Kevin Nishita (a former security officer and police officer) was shot to death by an unknown group who pulled up against the KRON crew in order to rob them.

CBS Local San Francisco:

Nishita was a security guard working for KRON TV news. He was reporting on the recent smash-and grab robbery at Prime 356. It happened Monday night. [….]

The robbery squad allegedly approached the television crew, and they ordered them and their guards to fall on the ground. Witnesses claim that shots were fired moments later and that the guard was struck.

According to authorities, the bullet struck the guard in the stomach. There were no other injuries reported by the guard before the gunmen fled.

When you allow chaos, this is where it can lead, and now we’ve lost someone who spent his life helping other people.

While CNN is reporting on the smash and grabs, they had one analyst who said that we don’t know why this is happening, right after he also noted “some DAs that have flat-out said they’re no longer going to prosecute shoplifting.” You think that there might not be a relation there?

We also reported on the response from Mayor London Breed in San Francisco — trying to limit traffic and parking. I’m sure that will do the trick. Not. What were the concerns of some media? Whether it was proper to call it “looting” and whether that might somehow be racist if you did so.

Here’s a radical thought. Radical for California, which means it’s sane. Consider increasing the penalties for theft, rather than decreasing them. And how about electing people who aren’t radical leftists who want to open the doors and let all the criminals out? Then, amazingly, you’ll find these incidents drop magically. It’s not magic, though — just common sense.
