Walgreens is closing five more San Francisco drug stores amid a spike in “organized retail crime” that has coincided with lax law enforcement.
A referendum that lowered the penalty for stealing goods worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor has played a big role in the spike, the New York Post reported.
“Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that,” Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso told SFGate.
Meanwhile, more than half of Bay Area residents plan to leave permanently, according to a recent poll reported by The Hill. The biggest reason for leaving cited was the cost of living, particularly housing costs, but 62% cited the quality of life.
Walgreens said retail theft in its San Francisco stores has increased in the past few months to five times the chain’s average.
“During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment,” the company said.
Over the past five years, Walgreens has closed 17 stores in San Francisco.
A member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors said she is “completely devastated” by the news that five more stores are closing.
“This Walgreens is less than a mile from seven schools and has been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades,” Ahsha Safai tweeted Tuesday.
A Twitter user responded to him with: “Ahsha, this is what happens when you decriminalize shoplifting.”
The Post reported New York City is facing a similar surge in drug store theft. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea blames it on the state’s “disastrous bail reform law.”
Reporters who visited a dozen Walgreens, CVS, Duane Reade and Rite Aid locations found shelves largely barren of many staples.
“They’ve all been stolen,” a CVS employee said.
Love the story of the Youtuber who went to record that things “aren’t that bad” and had his equipment stolen. No. California californicated itself good this time.
its good ! leave and let it to the
criminal black suprematists !
We ain’t seen nothing yet. And the elite think they’re going to be in control of it? Pfft! What a-holes. They will flee to their bolthole before it gets anywhere near as bad as it’s going to get. That will leave the police behind who will no longer have elite protection after turning brownshirt on us for the benefit of the .01%.
A lot of police will get what’s coming to them, because even though a lot of us don’t know who they are somebody knows them … they are all known to somebody else … and while those who escape retribution because they move away they too will have to live beside us with no pay, no food and no utilities. I also think that after the collapse some of the deadliest marauding gangs will be gangs of ex-cops.
Junkies paradise.
It is another way that the Black man parasitises the White man.
The Apes are inside the Gates. If you haven’t figured it out yet, just watch the movie ‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968) to see how its all going to end..
The real name for this is Looting. Ironic in that it is the white liberals who made this mess and who now want to leave (and having fetched up somewhere else, will proceed to wreck that, too).
that is what happens when you embolden black people , no one should be surprised at all. Uphold all laws and act with might and force to keep civilization alive un the US of A
Whatever you do, San Franners, DO NOT MOVE OUT HERE! Commie-fornicators not welcome….and watch out for mountain lions….and bears….
