“Newsom Witnessed Shoplifting at Target.”

I knew he looked like a criminal. LOL

[ETCM]

“I was like, why I am spending $380 and everyone can walk the hell right out?”

Newsom is a little slow. The shoplifters figured this out long ago.

And unless there is a The French Laundry in the back, or they have added a foie gras, caviar and truffle section, I don't believe for a minute that Newsom shops at Walmart and Target with the hoi polloi.

[null and void]

Despite what the article states, I think Newsom asked to see the store manager to have the “uppity” employee fired. How dare a “lowly” worker state facts to a member of the elitist bourgeois.

Ya think?‽‽?!!

[enumerated]

He was there because he heard that men can use the girls bathroom at Targets.

This monster , this Newsom, is presently engaged in unleashing this disorder upon the peasants but in notifying the management upon sighting a thief he was responding to the sense of order he enjoys in his special bubble.

The worst kind of hypocrite, a dull and stupid one.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Typical Dem. Pours gasoline in your house, throws in a lit match and wonders why your house is on fire. Total lack of self awareness.

[unlearner]

There is a rumor that Newsome always carries large amounts of cash.

Maybe a gangbanger or illegal can fact-check this.

[zeestephen]

The Newsom story sounds completely bogus to me.

Every square foot of every Target is under video surveillance.

Show me the video, Newsom!

[Blue Collar Christian]

I don’t buy it his wit is that dim.

One night while at wallyworld, I saw a man who was squatting on the floor as he stuffed jewelry in every crevice he could find in his clothing.

When he realized I was watching him, he stood up and tuŕned to leave. When he stood up, a boatload fell out of his clothes. He looked at it and headed for the door. I told one of the employees and she just shrugged her shoulders
And walked off. I stood there ttrying to keep my chin from falling off my face.

This was back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s.

I was shocked.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Newsom was pushing a shopping cart at Target? Sure. As if.

[BitWielder1]

So this was like an involuntary "Undercover Boss" story where the boss finds out he is the problem.
Will he learn or fix anything? Doubt it.

California would be better off if run by Daffy Duck.

[SaveFerris]

(“I’d say 10 thefts a day,” one unnamed employee said)

That they actually see

There’s probably 5x-10x that. Daily.

[lightman]

I was thinking more like 10 thefts per hour.

[SaveFerris]

That’s actually pretty accurate

[gundog]

Could have been slumming. We have a grocery clearance store in town that has some pretty decent buys. I wouldn’t go there on a dare around the first of the month...the time when EBT cards load up. I was driving by on one such day and it was packed, inside and around the entrance. I saw the Oregon Speaker of the House mingling with the unwashed.

“I got a shifty looking guy here I’m holding. Beady eyes, sneaky expression, delusions he’s some kind of king or emperor of the state or something.”

Had our side been like the Democrats one of us would have slipped some unpaid stuff into his coat pocket. Frame jobs for our side should be answered in kind, IMO.

“That stuff isn’t mine.”
“Yeah, we gathered that.”
“But I hadn’t crossed the threshold of the outside doors with it so I can walk.”
“Maybe you really are a politician like you keep claiming.”
