Swarms of primarily black lookers spread around high-end shopping malls and stores around in the country in waves of “smash-and-grab” robberies that followed the acquittal of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin. While no one has said there’s a link between the Rittenhouse acquittal and the swarms of looting around the country, it’s obvious that something gave the green light for looting from Chicago to Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose. On Saturday night in upscale Walnut Creek, some 25 miles east of San Francisco, about 80 looters stormed the Nordstrom Department Store, stealing unknown amounts of high-end merchandise. Almost simultaneously, the Louis Vuitton store in Union Square, San Francisco was emptied out, losing at least $100,00 in merchandise. Smash-and-grab looters also hit the upscale Grove shopping center next to the historic Los Angeles Farmer’s Market.
Whether in Chicago, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, San Jose or Los Angeles, professional black looting gangs breached security and began stealing high-end merchandise at will, without any serious police resistance. Since the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd, calls from Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups demanded de-funding police around the country. While that hasn’t happened yet, the message was clear to law enforcement:: Don’t arrest black citizens or face lawsuits for police brutality, racial discrimination or overall harassment. When you look at the delayed police responses to the latest spate of looting around the country, it shows that, since the George Floyd debacle, police departments around are allowing crime waves to go unpunished. Criminal gangs involved in looting around the country have gotten the message that crime pays.
Police officers are afraid to do their jobs without accused of racism and police brutality. Atty. Benjamin Crump, a black attorney who represents victims of police brutality, has collected untold millions from cities and police departments around the country, leaving cities and police departments reluctant to arrest black citizens. So when black gangs descend like vultures on high-end stores around the country, the police appear feckless in dealing with brazen robberies requiring a forceful police response. “I would say at least 30 to 40 [people] from what I saw,” said an eyewitness to the smash-and-grab robberies. “But then after the main group of kids rushed out, we saw 15 to 20 scattering and some even came back in,” attesting to the fact that the police were no where to be seen. BLM got what they wanted after George Floyd’s death, police departments incapable of enforcing the law.
Shoppers and employees of stores getting looted expressed their horror of being threatened and pepper sprayed by hoodlums engaged in egregious criminal conduct. Yet if you ask Black Lives Matter or others from the African American community, they see looters today as modern-day Robinhoods, taking from the rich to give to themselves. It was very scary,” said a mall worker in Walnut Creek. “People with no morals, no sense for other people’s safety. I feel helpless. It’s disturbing,” expressing the exasperation of the police doing little or nothing to stop the crime spree. So when Black Lives Matter and liberal elected officials like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) seek to de-fund the police, ordinary citizens get brutalized by roving bands of criminals. How a society built on “law-and-order” has elected officials demanding de-funding police shows how the criminal class has won.
When President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump Nov. 9, 2020, he made a deal with the devil, agreeing to advance a leftist BLM agenda, including taking money away from police. But more importantly, agreeing with the fake narrative that the United States is a systemically racist country that can only be corrected by government paid reparations to African Americans. So when black criminal gangs descend of high-end stores in exclusive shopping districts around the country, they’re counting on elected officials, like Ocasio-Cortez, to defend their right to pillage-and-plunder white society. Blacks can’t stomach the fact that most businesses in the United States are white owned, not because the country is systemically racist but because businesses were founded by ambitious white entrepreneurs. Black-owned businesses often post signs to keep looters away from their stores.
Democrats in Congress attempting to pass stage 2 of Biden’s Build Back Better [BBB] plan should include more funds for law enforcement around the country. Contrary to BLM, more law enforcement is needed, not less, especially now in the Brave New World of smash-and-rob black gangs looting high-end businesses without consequences. “ I probably saw 50-80 people in like ski masks with crowbars, a bunch of weapons,” said Brett Barrette, manager of P.F. Changs in Walnut Creed, across from Nordstroms. “There was a mob of people,” Barrette said. “The police were flying in. It was like a scene out of a movie. It was insane,” attesting to the chaos seen dealing with black gangs looting local stores. Without a beefed up law enforcement, there’s no deterrence for the kind of brazen robberies happening around the country, all because police departments around the country have been demoralized.
