The man seen ransacking Walgreens and CVS stores in San Francisco was freed from prison thanks to a minimum sentence.
Jean Lugo Romero pleaded guilty to felony grand theft and a misdemeanor for petty theft prior to being sentenced to 16 months and one-year probation for the robberies, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday:
Under California law, Romero could have been sentenced to three years in prison on the felony rap and another 16 months on the misdemeanor charge.
However, the judge credited him with time served and released Romero back onto the lawless streets of San Francisco. He was ordered to stay away from two Walgreens employees and two stores, as well as one CVS store.
A video of Romero showed him dumping approximately $1,000 worth of cosmetics into a bag. Romero then hopped onto his bicycle and moved past a guard who was standing nearby.
“If you call 911, will they do anything?” a woman in the video asked the guard:

District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who now faces a recall vote, previously defended Romero’s actions, describing him as “desperate,” the Mail report said.
In December, Boudin spoke out against Mayor London Breed’s policy to expand law enforcement funding and declare a “state of emergency” in the crime-ridden Tenderloin district, according to Breitbart News.
“Boudin, the son of a convicted Weather Underground militant, was elected in 2019 on a promise to pursue criminal justice reform, like his predecessor, George Gascón, the George Soros-backed prosecutor who is now D.A. in Los Angeles County,” the report said.
Meanwhile, the shoplifting surge in October forced Walgreens to shut down five additional San Francisco locations.

Gotta have lots of anarchy. Make Mr. and Mrs. Average demand tyranny.
It is only fair to make law abiding citizens pay for the merchandise stolen by others who god made more lazy
I do not support long sentences for non capitol crimes. I support a couple of years of hell on a prison farm in the hot sun, you do not want to go to Angola. Capitol crimes deserve long sentences on the same prison farm working the most horrible jobs. These farms could actually be self supporting with not cost to the tax payer. The labor is free. Prison should not be pleasant.
SPJNK.
