SAN FRANCISCO: Shoplifting SKYROCKETS , Criminals Aren't Being Arrested Anymore, Stores CLOSING

[hog88]

I frequently have driven my lawnmower after having a few beers, I didn't know that I was breaking the law. I'm a heathen.

You outlaw!

The Bibles talks about the dangers of large cities and that we should spread out.

Verily I say unto thee, packeth your tripe and move out of thine hovel into the country. And lo, lay thine peepers upon the fields on which my ****s are grown and behold that they are barren. -Exodus 4:20

Golf clap, well done.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

I think this is a great list. LEOs shouldn't be responding to this crap. Police shouldn't be doing funeral escorts. The other items require admin time but don't improve crime or bust criminals. This will not be the reason for Asheville to eat itself as a city.

Don’t be naive. This is only a starting point. The list will be expanded. It’s the typical leftist slippery slope.

 

[Vol423]

Of course it does. However, the point is that when you leave a 5 star hotel in just about any city in the world you don't expect to be told "do not turn right out the front door... it's dangerous that direction". You do in SFO. I do not think I have been told that in any other city in the world where I have had a layover. Not in a broad daylight scenario at any rate.

I have family friends that had the exact same experience in a 5-star hotel in SF. They also said there were drug needles and human feces everywhere. They had been to SF many, many times over the years. They said they would never go back, and this was about 3 years ago. Things have gotten worse since then.

I'll judge the expanded list, if it ever happens, on it's merits at that time.

Asheville will not descend into a lawless dystopia because of the list I referenced.

Lol, i live rent free in your head. B@$&$

 

[Rickyvol77]

LOL

I'd like to see you arrest someone for a DUI on their own property. Meaning they never left their property while driving drunk.

I’m talking about driving drunk on private property. Like a mall parking lot

It didn't feel weak. It felt strong, like I had the strength of a grown man plus the strength of medium sized midget. So like 1.65 men.

Your math is off or you chose the wrong formula.

It’s the “broken window theory”, and yes as has been proven repeatedly in liberal cities all over the country, there will be a descent. How fast and how far are yet to be determined.

I respectfully disagree. The list of things which no longer will get a response by LEOs in Asheville are all things where they come out, file a report, and go about their day (except funeral escorting). At least 3 things from that list have happened to me. I was told by the responding officer(s) "there's not anything we can really do" with 2 of the 3.
I would rather see the resources used in a way where the police force can have an impact.

Arresting corrupt politicians?

That's my fetish, Grand. I got a semi just reading your reply.

I get your point.

Yes but since I always imagine you sitting around in docker shorts, boats shoes with no socks and a flowery button down shirt .. you look weak .

First,,,I have visited most of the large shitholes "cities " mentioned earlier in this thread either because of business trips or vacation misadventures. Most smell like spoiled milk, the people are rude and the iconic food venues are usually over rated. If not for the big picture views (the ones where you don't have to see the local inhabitants be they actual or human vermin up close) they have little to offer me and I hope to never revisit any of them.

Second,,,, As a former big box retail store manager or area manager for 2 different companies,,,,, there is no lower form of life than shoplifters. I hate them to their core and if not for the earthly and post life repurcussions would have no problem cracking the outer cranium of most every one of them. I was almost fired for beating the pulp out of one who took a swing on me when I confronted him leaving one of my stores. I did however,,,, enjoy it. A lot.

His Nike's dont come cheap.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

LOL, That dude could have tried a lot harder to stop that at least try and make a hole in the bag.

 

[allvol123]

I literally saw the same thing happen at the CVS in Bearden. Managment has obviously been instructed not to touch the perps. At least from what I saw in person.

I guess it’s cheaper than a potential lawsuit.

 

[VolStrom]

A lawsuit for what, stopping someone stealing your stuff? Why should a business be open to a lawsuit for stopping a thief? People often forget that the people that pay for shoplifters are the patrons of the store in the form of higher prices to support "inventory losses".
