Didn't know this was going on.

No store security?

They don't prosecute if the value is under $950. No sense to show up.
Looks like a great place to open a business.

It’s been legalized, and is encouraged, in cities like that.

Seriously farked up.

I'm not local, but based on the kinds of things that you hear, it seems that while a lot of the west coast has some crazy policies, SF seems to be one of the worst cities on the coast for bad policies. Maybe if this keeps happening and retailers keep pulling out, eventually the folks in charge will get their heads out of their asses (or the people will put new folks in charge) that can/will put a stop to the insanity.

They “need” the things they’re stealing, so it’s a good thing.
Walmart and Target are big rich corporations that only make money by exploitation of their workers.
It’s social justice.

I’m trying to work out the steps necessary to do some online credit card fraud. If I was based in San Francisco and managed to only buy from California based businesses…

I should get a mask and start looting... But I have to case the place first to make sure I'm getting something less than $900.

Looters were captured on video Monday ransacking a Neiman Marcus in San Francisco as thefts continue to plague businesses in the area.

At least nine suspects smashed display cases, snatched handbags, and jetted out of the building before law enforcement arrived to the scene at about 6 p.m., according to footage. The suspects were seen running out of the store with their hands full of merchandise before entering an apparent getaway car that sped off down a busy intersection...

...Walgreens shuttered 17 of its stores in the San Francisco area in the past five years, and the company said thefts in the area are four times more likely than anywhere else in the country as executives budgeted 35 times more for security personnel to guard the chains.

According to my neighbors, its OK if they are stealing from a corp., hungry, addicted to alcohol due to them being minority because they lack control and don't have access to help. Yep. Idiots.

It's a Neimann Marcus, so it's very possible that each criminal alone had that much loot.

Ask your neighbor if he thinks the corporation is going to take a loss or are they going to increase the prices paid by the honest customers to maintain a profit?
Shoplifters aren't stealing from the store. They are stealing from you every time you shop at that store.

Waste my time arguing with these people. I have been called a racist before before because I disagree with them on many of these type of topics.

When someone does that - they've run out of options.

It's like raising the white flag.

In the video there are thieves of different races anyway. Just not the same ratio, which is what probably catches attention by some.
