San Francisco cops say viral Walgreens shoplifting incident is par for the course

[NYPOST] the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
has become a shoplifter’s paradise — with thieves like the one caught on video looting a Walgreens emboldened by relaxed punishment for the crime as businesses shutter, cops say.

The Walgreens heist, which happened right in front of a security guard, renewed the debate over a controversial city law called Proposition 47.

"What happened in that Walgreens has been going on in that city for quite a while," San Francisco police Lt. Tracy McCray said on Fox News’ "America’s Newsroom" Wednesday.

"I’m used to it," McCray continued. "I mean, we can have a greatest hits compilation of people just walking in and cleaning out the store shelves and security guards, the people who work there, just standing by helplessly because they can’t do anything."

Cops and prosecutors are at odds over Proposition 47, a 2014 referendum that lowered the penalty for stealing goods worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor.

McCray said the law only emboldens criminals.

#1 Prop 47 is a STATE law not a city law: "California Proposition 47, the Reduced Penalties for Some Crimes Initiative, was on the ballot as an initiated state statute in California on November 4, 2014. It was approved." As best I can tell, it was approved by the California electorate!

#3 So, where are the seniors going to get their meds when the outlets all close down? I'm not worried really, the category includes a lot of old time Donks zombies who pull the vote lever as a lower brain stem function rather than a cognitive front lobe process.

Mail order, Procopius2k. At which point the porch pirates will have a field day.

#6 /\ I'm afraid prolonging the life of the elderly is not an element of the equation. The current pandemic could be pointed to as potential evidence.

Amazon Prime, assuming they will still deliver to inner urban war zones; -OR- the Blue City Mayors will "nationalize" inner city stores and it will look like the Soviet era with long lines and nothing on the shelves.
