The new normal? Bay Area is hit by THIRD consecutive day of looting as 50-strong hammer gang storms jewelry store after Macy's and Lululemon stores were hit: Thieves take advantage of woke 'misdemeanor' law
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The San Francisco Bay Area faced a third consecutive day of brazen shoplifting on Sunday

  • A group of about 40 to 50 teenage looters wielding hammers smashed glass cases at a Hayward jewelry store and ran off with an unknown amount of goods at around 5.30pm Sunday

  • The suspects also reportedly ran into other stores in the Southland Mall and walked away with clothes and shoes, though police do not know how many items were stolen

  • Just about an hour later, in San Jose, a group of suspects entered a Lululemon store in the outdoor mall at Santana Row and took an unknown amount of merchandise before they fled the scene

  • The thefts come one day after a group of 80 brazen shoplifters entered a Nordstrom in nearby Walnut Creek

  • Three people were arrested in that incident, in which three employees were injured

  • And on Friday, a Luis Vuitton store in San Francisco's Union Square was targeted and ransacked by a group of more than a dozen thieves

  • Residents in the business owners in the area cite a 2014 law that downgraded the theft of property less than $950 in value from a felony charge to a misdemeanor for the rise in thefts

  • They also blame woke San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin for a rise in crime - he now faces a recall election amid fury over his soft-on-crime stance

#2 Given the many shortages we are told we are facing nationwide... maybe we should stop sending food stuff into these lawless areas. Until they are under control again.

I can see the lefts campaign signs now.

"Vote Democrat for better looting."

#3 Gov. Newsom promises to get tough with looting gangs ransacking luxury stores across the Bay Area despite presiding over woke 'misdemeanor' law

#4 But according to the California Penal Code, what we saw was not looting.

The penal code defines looting as “theft or burglary…during a ‘state of emergency’, ‘local emergency’, or ‘evacuation order’ resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or manmade disaster.”

So, they pillaged.
