A Very Bad Week for Civilization in California
PJ Media ^ | 14 Aug 2023 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/14/2023 9:29:15 AM PDT by Rummyfan

A group of “up to 30” teens poured into a Nordstrom’s store in Topanga, Calif., in a “smash and grab” looting that went off with military precision.

Note the eerie silence. These aren’t young people on a lark looting a store for fun or because “raaaaaacism.” It’s certainly not some last minute social media happening. This is an organized gang of thieves carrying out a well-planned criminal operation.

That’s not the only outrageous act of anarchy that happened in California last week.

A flash mob comprised of dozens of thieves hit the Yves Saint Laurent at The Americana at Brand Mall Tuesday, making off with $300,000 in merchandise, according to the Glendale Police Department.

The Gucci (Florence, Italy) store in Los Angeles’ Westfield Century City Mall was robbed earlier this week by several thieves who pulled off a grab-and-go heist that was caught on video, The Los Angeles Times reports. Police are investigating whether all three incidents of looting were carried out by the same gang of thieves.

“The suspects stole clothing and other merchandise before fleeing on foot and leaving the location in numerous vehicles,” Glendale Police Department Sgt. Victor Jackson said. “While still under investigation, the estimated loss is approximately $300,000.”

The insurance rates will go sky high as long as they continue allowing this to occur. And many retail stores will just close down and leave the area.

I’d shoot every damn one of them. Every time. The others would eventually get the message.

Execute three or four shoplifters, outline bthe bodies with paint on the floor and leave the dried blood for people 5to walk over. The ferals will get the idea real quick.

Civilization in California is an oxymoron.

Trust me I live here there is NO rock bottom for this state..they will vote for Dems regardless..yeah they can b*tch and moan on TV about crime but they will always be loyal Democrats..the idiots always outweigh the smart ones here..if Newsom were up for re-election right now he’d win by 30 points+ and if Bass were up for re-election she’d win by the same margin..no one cares..they continue to allow this and do nothing to stop it

Bet they did not have someone like Brigitte Nielsen in charge of the incident, like the opening scene in Beverly Hills Cop 2.

A cop friend saw this video and said various characteristics indicate these (blacks) are likely not American, but rather illegals, specifically brought from Haiti or Africa by criminal gangs - to rob fat, stupid, Americans in leftist cities. As a cop, they see it more and more over the last 2 years.

Just one $300K score will more than pay for the cost of smuggling and upkeep for the whole group.

I can see it now in California, “let’s raise taxes to fight poor minorities stealing”.

“While still under investigation, the estimated loss is approximately $300,000.”

Didn't Californians pass a Proposition decriminalizing shoplifting under a half million? That makes this a misdemeanor and no big deal. Who needs retail anyway? Who needs that thin veneer of civilization anyway?

Well, if Californians haven't done raised the misdemeanor limit to a half-mil, they will. Justice, baby!!
