California Decriminalized Shoplifting For Amounts Under $950, Guess What Happened Next

 

Walgreens closed 22 stores in San Francisco where thefts under $950 are effectively decriminalized…

 

Shoplifter’s Paradise

 

Please note San Francisco Has Become a Shoplifter’s Paradise

 

“Theft in Walgreens’ San Francisco stores is four times the average for stores elsewhere in the country, and the chain spends 35 times more on security guards in the city than elsewhere,” reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

 

Earlier this year, a spokesman for CVS, which has closed at least two stores, told CNN that of its 155 locations in the Bay Area, the 12 in San Francisco account for 26% of all shoplifting incidents in the region.

 

Much of this lawlessness can be linked to Proposition 47, a California ballot initiative passed in 2014, under which theft of less than $950 in goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor and rarely prosecuted.

 

Meanwhile, politically progressive local prosecutors from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and New York compete to see who can prosecute the fewest people.

 

Just Plain Crazy

 

This is just plain crazy. And it's another reason for the big backlash I expect in the 2022 midterm elections.

 

School boards, crime, racist college admissions that favor blacks who cannot read, and critical race theory crammed down kids throats are all part of the extreme Left madness sweeping the country.

 

In February, I noted Coca Cola Confirms Training Employees ‘Try To Be Less White’

 

In July, I commented Critical Race Theory Should Be Banned, and a Black Parent Explains Why

 

"Educators use CRT as their own agenda, to indoctrinate the kids to hate each other," said one black parent to a rousing round of applause at a school board meeting.

 

In May I noted College Entrance Exam SAT Score Racial Profiling: 964=1223

 

Welcome to new math that says an SAT score of 964 equals a score of 1223.

 

“We can’t sit on our hands and ignore the disparities of wealth reflected in the SAT,” claim college administrators.

 

To compensate for the fact that Blacks score lower on average than Asians and Whites, SAT to Give Students ‘Adversity Score’.

 

And so here we are. Shoplifting is the fault of Walgreens, not the shoplifters.

 

This makes about as much sense as everything else sweeping the country.

Censor the internet or face more riots? Facebook ‘whistleblower’ tells lawmakers exactly what they want to hear

 

Facebook ‘whistleblower’ Frances Haugen is calling for censorship again, after a fresh round of reports implicated the firm in failing to crack down on supposed “misinformation.” Still think this is organic?

 

Haugen appeared before the UK’s parliament on Monday in a bid to convince lawmakers that Facebook needs more regulation. In her testimony to a committee working on a proposed Online Safety Bill, Haugen said that “horrific” riots and genocides will happen around the world if Facebook is allowed to continue spreading “polarizing” content – namely from the right wing.

 

Comparing Uncle Todd’s QAnon posting to the mass extinction of human life in Ethiopia or Myanmar may seem wacky, and on the surface resembles the moral panic of the 1980s, when the ‘Washington Wives’ thought listening to Judas Priest turned children into Satan-worshipping killers. But Haugen is not a lone Helen Lovejoy type demanding that “somebody think of the children.” She’s a billionaire-backed, media-supported censorship advocate who speaks for the worst enemies of free expression.

 

Her operation is a slick one. Haugen first grabbed attention by claiming that Facebook’s higher-ups know how harmful Instagram is to underage users (“somebody think of the children”), and within hours of going public had pivoted to pleading with Congress in Washington to exercise more control over political speech on Facebook “for the common good.”

 

In the days and hours before Haugen spoke in London, a slew of fresh articles appeared in sympathetic media outlets to bolster her case. Facebook, according to these articles, refused to listen to the demands of staff and remove right-wing news sources such as Breitbart and Charlie Kirk from its ‘News Tab.’ Furthermore, documents leaked by Haugen revealed that the company refused to take down contentious posts by right-wing figures, preferring instead to appear neutral, even if this meant allowing certain politically influential accounts to evade censorship.

 

Somehow, this is presented as a bad thing.
