Video—Police: Nearly 200 Looters Stole $100,000 Worth of Goods from Tampa Walmart
BREITBART ^ | June 11, 2020 | Joshua Caplan

Roughly 200 looters stole over $100,000 worth of products from a Tampa, Florida, Walmart on the evening of May 30, according to local law enforcement.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is asking for assistance in identifying the looters, who raided the Walmart Supercenter on East Fletcher Avenue shortly after 9:00 p.m. local time.

FOX 13 reports:

The store was closed due to the police brutality protests occurring outside the University Mall, but people wielding blunt objects like hammers broke the glass entrance doors and stormed into the store.

Footage released by the sheriff’s office shows wave after wave of looters streaming through the front door — past the social-distancing reminders — and ransacking the store’s electronics section, hauling away computers, TVs, and more.

After reviewing the video, detectives believe somewhere around 200 people participated. An estimated $116,000 in merchandise and damages was reported.

Two hundred people that should have been shot as looters. Now, 200 to be tracked down and prosecuted, convicted, and jailed.

I watched the video. Walmart has excellent cameras and a lot were not wearing masks, so yes they will catch a lot. All they have to do is catch the ones not wearing masks then get them to turn in others.

The policed failed, so just being hopeful that justice will be served. But, alas, probably none will be prosecuted as it would somehow be dismissed as racist.

They should close down and abandon that store.

Well;. if they’re of the right race it’s OK!

The media has to meet the approval of the marketeers who pay for it.

This is awful. I think the response from Walmart should be to unlock all previously locked up items (electronics, spray paint, beauty, tobacco, razors, etc.), remove all price scanners from their main and self-checkout registers, turn off all security cameras, lay off all security personnel, remove security device scanners at their entrance/exit doors, and re-price all items to $0.00. But just to be safe from the medical Nazis, have several hand sanitizer stations positioned throughout the stores.

The math on that works. 200 “protesters” and $100k works out to $500 each. Sure enough, pretty much every time I stuff a whole cart full at Walmart it’s about $500.

Wal-Mart has better security than anyone.

Picture the television show “24” where tons of people are constantly viewing multiple screens each. That is what they have.

I know this because I’ve worked investigations where Wal-Mart footage was needed.

If Wal-Mart suddenly plays dumb or under-equipped, it will be a big fat lie.

FWIW - Welcome to Mogadishu - Or is it Harare, capital of Zimbabwe?

Oh and here's some Rod Stewart to listen to while you read. Is it the refrain or the chorus? I never know, LOL:

It's so nice that one guy is checking the cash drawer in Electronics. Hope that guy can get a box for his new big screen TV. Looks like it's hard to carry. What a steal!







Sure is shameful what all of those white nationalists have been doing lately, what with their looting, rioting and arson. And that one woman brought the kid along. Now that's some good parenting!

[ Walmart will just write it off. ]

Kramer: It's a write-off for them!

Jerry: You don't even know what a write-off is!

Kramer: Do you?

Jerry: No, I don't!

Kramer: Well, they do and they're the ones writing it off!

I hear ya. All those Japanese in there, too.

One thing these folks have in common.....

They were looking for a STEAL!!

Can’t beat the price. Unless there’s some jail time, of course. A few will get caught, not most.

You really couldn’t blame them for doing just that. Declare the store a loss, collect insurance on the looted goods and store damage, and move on to serve communities that aren’t allowing this to happen.

There is no diversity in that crowd. Still waiting for the video of an all caucasian crowd looting a store.
