Walgreens to close 17 stores in SF due to the legalization of shoplifting.

I've not been in the store when the theft was occurring but I've seen the results. I've also seen where just a few blocks away, the shoplifter throws out a blanket on the sidewalk and openly sells what they just ripped off. Ain't liberalism great?

By a margin of 60 to 40 percent, the idiots of California basically legalized shoplifting. Proposition 47, which passed in 2014, no longer made it a felony to steal if the value of what you steal doesn’t exceed $950. It’s also no longer a felony to receive stolen property valued at less than $950. And so…

Instead of being punished as a felon, you are hit with a misdemeanor, and in many cases not even that.

As you can imagine, this has turned into a free-for-all for shoplifters and a stone cold nightmare for retailers.

And people, such as me, were wondering why meh ranchers are going for over half a mill in Deer Park, WA.

It’s all making sense now.

The $950 rule is crazy and was something I watched a video on during the looting after George Floyd. Guys were teaming up and purposefully stealing $900 worth of stuff from multiple stores and selling it because they knew nothing would happen to them.

People vote their criminal accomplices into office. If Seattle wants to become Detroit in the 90s, it's well on it's way. Same with SF.

A Federal Way politician said it best: "Seattle Needs Adult Supervision." He's right. Seattle is currently run by juvenile delinquents.

Can you feel the love and unity??? Where are the social workers when you need them?

Washington has a similar law

A felony can be charged if value is over $750.

Hey bad shit has always happened and that will always continue. People can be evil. This has nothing to do with politics and isn’t new, the media is just picking it up, and making it a big problem to you.

I hear it has nothing to do with politics. It's just the media "picking it up" and making it a problem with you.
