They’re offering bootleg online courses in robbery.

The nationwide shoplifting epidemic could soon get a whole lot worse: As if looters weren’t acting brazen enough of late, self-proclaimed “borrowers” are now taking to the platform to teach aspiring criminals how follow suit, per the clips.

The hashtag “borrow tip and tricks” has amassed 8.9 billion of views on TikTok amid the uptick in brazen theft, spawned by increasingly lax looting laws and “revolving door” bail reforms.

“Today I went to the mall so I’m going to show you what I borrowed,” bragged user @borrowingqueen in one of the stealing tutorials.

In another burglary tutorial, a poster who goes by @b0rrowing.t1ngz ranks stores according to how easy they are to rip off.

Stopping this requires them facing the consequences of theft. Much like how the Tide Pod challenge ceased to be a thing.

There should be cash bounties on looters.

“Stopping this requires them facing the consequences of theft.”

True, or we can just ban TikTok for being a platform that wilfully aids and abets criminals, as well as being a tool of foreign espionage.

In a civilized country, we would have law enforcement make the arrests and prosecutors(DA's) prosecute the charges and honest judges who would hand out the sentences.

Well, TikTok taught thugs how to steal Kias with just a USB cable, so this is the next logical step.

Way to out themselves so they and all their followers can be apprehended. If the law doesn’t, God has it covered :) He see everything and harm is not without consequences.

Tiktok attracts the lowest of the low, the dregs, the offal, the excretions, the refuse of humanity. Trump wanted to eliminate it.

Too bad he couldn’t.

I’m going to assume they are fond of islam. Then in that case: we must invoke the islamic punishment for stealing, which is amputation of the hands.

In many rat sates that is illegal and many chains forbid it as a matter of policy. So the paying customers get to subsidize these thieves

Sounds like a good class to add to the Public School system right up there with Government Benefits Collection 101...
