Eighty looters ransacked a Nordstrom store in California's Bay Area on Saturday night, injuring at least three employees in a raid that lasted less than a minute. The large group,wearing ski masks and carrying crowbars, rushed the Walnut Creek store, stole an undetermined amount of merchandise and fled in their vehicles.
During the theft, two Nordstrom workers were punched and kicked, while another was sprayed with pepper spray.(Snip)The brazen robbery comes as Bay Area businesses reduce their hours due to a spate of brazen shoplifting incidents. Locals are also slamming woke San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin over his failure to prosecute thefts.

80 PEOPLE ! The people that did this knew that this would be easy pickings. And for most, no consequences. This is what liberalism produces. Crime and no punishment.

"People"....why do I think that there could be a more accurate description that would fit all of these 'people'?
If this was my town, I'd be asking the police department what they plan to do about it.

This looting in the wake of apparent coordinated smash and grabs at Louis Vuitton stores in Chicago and San Francisco. My cynical side says this is “part of the process” to destroy retail and push buyers to big tech monopolies.

Want to know who will pay for the stolen goods. People who shop at the stores. Prices will go up. No security to shoot out the tires of the cars Somehow this has to stop. But definitely shows there are laws for different people in this country

They caught a few...at least one with a gun...AND certainly have their phones. This kind of thing can ONLY be organized online/whatsap/Insta...get a warrant and track all people involved in the conversations that originated and planned it. Max penalties for all. INCLUDING confiscation of all vehicles used in commission of this crime. Many are high dollar, caddies, Mustangs, Chargers, SUVs...prolly not a single Prius or Volt.
During the "Floyd Riots" in NYC, a high end store was looted by thieves driving porsches, masarati, and even a Rolls Royce.

Is this the area where they let shoplifting up to $1000? Why stop there when there are no consequences?
Nordstrom should close all their stores, and only do business over the internet.
The hell with the bay area. Blame the looters, and the government that enables them.

I don't believe that the raid lasted less than a minute. It would take more than that to run from the cars to the merchandise, grab it and run back.

I wonder if these smash and grabs will bring down the value of LV and other high end merchandise being pilfered and saturated in poor areas. Remember all those designers who said they didn't design their stuff for the little people? A LV bag doesn't look so desirable when it's hanging over a homeless person's grocery cart.

Ask the leftist and socialist Democrats and they will tell you that such organized theft is just the “community” calling out for “equity”. A poster above asked, once the real Communists take over such out of control US inner cities, will they continue to allow such mass crime to continue? The answer to that is to look at Communist China, do they allow such lawless in their cities. The answer to that is of course no. So what would occur in the dark age inner city communities is that the perpetrators of such crimes, that is if they were not shot by the Communist police would probably have two choices, either become a voluntary organ donor, or accept transportation to some place in darkest Africa where there are no stores for them to loot. Of course the high end companies who own and operate the stores being targeted have a way out, close their brink and mortar stores near inner-city “communities” and go 100% mail order as the vast majority of their legitimate customers with money would have no problem in making mail order purchases from them.

A "Looters will be shot" directive would stop looting instantly. But Progressive (communist) sheep regard breaking the law with impunity as reparations. So, let's see what happens if all supermarkets and drug stores close up shop in any particular city due to theft of merchandise. Will looters then expand their purview into the suburbs where homeowners have guns to protect themselves and their families and property?

I lived in San Francisco my entire adult life. Left three years ago for the better weather in Palm Springs. I’m ashamed that an English newspaper appears to be better at covering the local news than does the Bay Area media.
This article mistakes one thing. The $950 amount needed to make a theft a felony is not a local San Francisco law. It is a state statute voted into law by the weak minded people of California. Still, these brazen thefts only happen in the big urban areas that have elected radicals as Distinct Attorneys.

These communist looters are here to seek and destroy! They do not help anyone but themselves. They run in mobs to intimidate and overpower the innocent, unimpeded by self control, much less by the law. If they really cared for others as themselves, they would devote their efforts to helping others, such as those devastated this very minute by the historic flooding which has overwhelmed the Great Northwest! The alphabets have ignored the plight of those vast areas changed by the floods forever! .....Apparently these lefty mobs and the beltway pols only get their 'news' reports from the sifting/spinning media political propaganda, as they all lust for their own publicity. Thieves are the ones who should be accountable to the law, where ever they ply their lawless acts! 'Divide,' crooks from peaceful society.

Now, how did those 80 looters in 25 cars know exactly where, when and why to meet at the same place and same time to do the same thing? Would a social media platform like Facebook have something to do with it, and if they did are they working with the po po?

For those who do not know this, Walnut Creek is a very posh and expensive city. I do not even think there is a low income area there at all. We bought our first house there. We had to move to a less expensive area in the Bay Area after we sold. The crime is very low there. It is a very blue city too. I have no doubt this has shook them up.

#35 - In the late 80's, Walnut Creek was not "posh". It was a sleeper community for folks who had jobs in SF and could not afford SF housing prices. Very white and full of young families. Long Bart ride from the city.

@#23 - While your post has merit, the package delivery driver would be the next logical target. Hijack the truck/van and that'll kill all deliveries to homes and remaining businesses. Then we're in Mad Max territory.

Looting is also know as ‘theft’ and when you bring a weapon it’s called armed robbery. This is not about racial grievances or protest. This is about the entitlement to criminal activity handed over to minorities by Democrats who feel forced to accept it.

Sub-creaturae malus africanus. ALWAYS. In my head I am repeating, over and over again, "The Forbidden Word". For that is what these lowly beasts are. The word fits perfectly. God help me, but I truly loathe this genus of erect simians. They are not of the human race. In a just world we would hunt them for sport and hang the heads over our mantles. They are not a "race", they are a sub-species of the apes. Therefore, I cannot be a "raysiss".
