Biden's America: Gang empties shelves of high-end products in broad daylight

[Counselor706]

Video captured the shocking moment that a gang of purported shoplifters sauntered into a Chicago-area Ulta Beauty store location during broad daylight hours and cleared shelves of high-end beauty products.

The incident is yet another example of the skyrocketing crime rate in the Chicago area and shows that violent crime is not the only thing the Windy City has to fear.

A Tuesday report from the Daily Mail explained that the group that reportedly stole from the Ulta store in the crime-ridden city was one of three "organized shoplifting gangs" that have struck luxury stores across the city.

Video footage captured the moment that the hooded suspects swiped clean makeup shelves containing expensive designer makeup and shoved the merchandise into black trash bags.

Somehow, organized shoplifting of cosmetics is hard to think of as part of a crime problem.

Biden’s America, huh? I guess when looters and rioters burned cities back in 2020 that was Trump’s America.

It’s like you trumptards don’t think these things through.

So, stealing, grand larceny, organized shoplifting should be dismissed as not criminal activity or a crime problem and allowed to continue.

Wonder how you’d react if they took your shit.

First off, you have to be an intelligent person, in order to grasp the problem and its ramifications. The free shoplifting at Walmart has now graduated into walking out with generators and high end tools at Home Depot. I read where in San Francisco one can steal up to $900 worth of merchandise without being bothered by the police. My personal opinion is, I think store employees ought to be able to gun down or club to death anyone leaving their store with stolen property, but that's just me.

It's not the kind of crime people are afraid of. People are afraid of violent forms of crime.

The law does not allow the use of deadly force to protect property.

That doesn't make it not a problem.

That IS a problem....red states should take more initiative to rectify that.

You write some of the most ridiculous shit imaginable.

Retail value: $1,000.00. Replacement cost: $9.95.

Sounds like an opportunity for you to step into the market and make a bundle. Of course, you'd have to actually do something with your life for that to happen, so I'm not holding my breath

Well, the law might allow you to shoot a burglar in your house if you could plausibly claim an actual perceived threat to your safety -- castle doctrine and all that.

Then there was the Quaker who caught a burglar in his kitchen, leveled a shotgun at him, and said, "Friend, I mean thee no harm, but thee are standing where I mean to shoot."

It's the kind of crime that will drive small business out of business and cause them to great economic harm.

Peck LOVES and supports this idea.... probably considers it "progress".

It does in some states to thwart the design of a felony or the commission of a felony.

Maybe he engages in it himself.

That's a duty to retreat law.

Castle doctrine you don't have to prove shit, they forced their way into your home? They forfeited their right life.
