James Woods: Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. The Hoodie Hoodlums taking advantage of a policy wherein theft of a $1000 or less is not charged.

#9  #7, problem with that concept it that it takes the political and bureaucratic middle men and women out of the redistribution system. When loss to theft becomes a tax write off, the state's cut goes down.

#8  ^ And the store owners will get totally the wrong kind of attention from the law if they try to intervene on their own.

#7  Cost of doing business in San Francisco. Stealing a thousand dollars or less is now a misdemeanor in California and since there is no room in the jails for all the misdemeanors, they are released. It isn't just the hoodie hoodlums. Homeless freaks know they can rip off the corner store and sell the loot for their next fix. Cops don't even bother responding to calls about it because they know the perps will be back on the street before they can finish their arrest reports.

#6  /\ A business arrangement forged decades ago. The box stores have become the big PX/BX (gov't exchange). American made products have vaporized, by design.

#5  Nice way to crush small businesses and shopkeepers while Wal-Mart, Target, et al., laugh all the way to the bank.

#2  I'd add, if the BLM thing was really being run top down, it seems the big contributors would get a pass on having their stores looted, but it just doesn't seem to be happening that way.

#1  Well, what goes around comes around. As some of these big corporations bend the knee and flap open the wallet to BLM, they get the back of the hand. When they have to close locations and profits go down the danegeld will dry up. Virtuous circle.
