That ladies concern with stores closing due to theft wasn't that people lost their jobs but that now she has to go further away to steal. What a pitiful human.
Who cares about people having awful jobs that don't even pay a living wage?! And from corporations that are making RECORD PROFITS. Stop being a shill for corporations that don't give a damn about people.
“Their insurance will pay for it” such a smooth brain though. Insurances will pay up to a certain point, they are in it for the money, if they keep paying out they will drop the business as a client, that’s when stores close down and people loose their jobs and people without a vehicle loose access to basic necessities
The costs of everybody's insurance goes up too. The more money the company has to pay out the more they are going to charge customers with their rates.
Yeah insurance is a for profit business. I worked corporate side for one, they're as cutthroat (often more) as any other industry. Once it becomes apparent a client is carrying unreasonable risk the insurance company is gonna hike rates through the roof or drop them as a client causing the retailer to pull out of the market. Insurance companies aren't just gonna hand out millions of merchandise by proxy by insuring businesses in areas that decide stealing isn't a crime anymore. This will hit a breaking point with the average joe feeling the lion's share of the consequences.
@@purepanorama8484and the total idiot in the red jacket goes on to say if they close down, it’s their fault because “their insurance is garbage” . What a total loser/moron
I’ve lived in the Bay my whole life and I was shaking my head throughout this whole video. The lack of remorse, empathy and responsibility I saw with the people in the video is eye opening.

No differnet than the corporate executives, owners and the trust fund kids. The system doesn't reward the working class or students. It rewards risk takers and those with might. The end result is one community of wealthy who live like royalty. The security class who protects them and pretends to uphold the law. Then the peasant class who fights with each other for the crumbs. It's feudalism. Democracy was suppose to get rid of the old system, but it hasn't. This system is the reason we have fallen behind, so many young kids could of been productive citizens but the odds are they are gonna be a victim of difficult circumstances only because they were born in the peasant class.
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech your just justifying you being a scumbag. One of the biggest reasons why these corporations can make so much money is because the average guy just cant afford the insurance or cost of having to restock their shelves when they didn't sell anything
The lady in the blazer's response blew me away when you asked her how she felt about the employees of the companies leaving the city and losing their jobs. Her response was stating that she's inconvenienced that she'll have to travel further to steal more stuff. There couldn't have been a worse answer to that question and I think it sums up the mentality of most of these bippers. Absolutely no care for anyone else.

As someone who works for the excess carrier insurance business, please let me educate these people that think, oh insurance will cover it”. Yes, insurance will cover it for a while, but the premiums continue to rise at an exponential rate, based on every claim that is received, and the dollar amount of that claim. Eventually it gets to a point where the cost of the premium outweigh the benefit of keeping that store open and thus the closing of the store. Some carriers won’t insure certain locations now either because it’s cost prohibitive since claims are guaranteed to occur. To think that the theft is not the cause of stores closing is absurd!
It’s because most people have never owned or even been close to owning a business! They have no idea the actual cost of running a profitable company or store…
That dude was a complete idiot and has no idea how businesses work. Sad they don’t even know they’re harming their own community and will put themselves in a worse position.

It's not that bad if you don't walk in the city and look like a tourist, the trick is to make it look like you're a local and mind your own business. That is until someone decides to rob you then you can use a _________ to make it so they have zero chance to reoffend.
The lack of empathy. “If I don’t see it then it doesn’t affect me”. The lack of empathy and compassion in this world now and days is just unbelievable to me
These people blindly steal at such a rate that stores local to them are forced to close. Then they turn around and complain about how far they have to go to get food, clothing, medicines. Complete comics.
That professional thief you interviewed at 25:00 is truly the worst person in society. He's bragging about stealing money from hardworking people and says he doesn't even feel bad. He then gives the proceeds to other criminals in his neighborhood who probably don't have honest jobs and just prey on others for a living. Some of the thieves who don't care about stores closing (or that lady who felt bad that she couldn't steal from the closed store anymore) are truly awful. These aren't low-income people struggling with housing expenses or food - these are professional criminals who voulntarily chose a life of crime.
@@San-yh4ziwhat a stupid take. This is America and we are supposed to have law and order, it’s the only way a society can function. Hence why everyone is moving away from San Francisco and if policies don’t change will become a ghost town
This is very common pattern in humanity. If you stop arresting and prosecuting criminals they will increase the amount of crime they do. They need to think that they will be caught, and if caught the prosecution has to outweigh the percieved benefit of the crime payout. This is simple. Not complex. Don't let anyone make you think otherwise.
Its cultural. Your view is only relevant to Judeo-Christian societies. In Confucian there isn't an epidemic of theft. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Vietnam.... theft isn't rampant in these Confucian countries. Your post is more proof Westerners in general know nothing about Confucianism. Most westerners aren't even aware of Confucianism's existence.
That's a generalization that's also inaccurate. Rampant theft doesn't have any Confucian countries like South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam. Your post is more proof westerners known almost nothing about Confucianism. most westerners aren't even aware that Confucianism exists.

While I fully support that, the root to this problem is mass illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The fencers/gangs are immigrants who give the money back home and these fencers get their products from druggies who will do anything to get high. Close the border, stop the drug trafficking, and imprison drug dealers for a looooong time. That's how you fix this issue. No drugs, less incentive for petty theft. Close the borders and deport all these criminals. As a legal immigrant who had to go through the difficult and lengthy process of immigrating to this country 23 years ago, I am furious with this open border. These scumbags give immigrants a bad rep and how dare they have such an "easy" migration while receiving tens of thousandths of dollars from the government while the rest of us legal immigrants had to endure through the process and I got nothing and wanted nothing from the government. It's despicable what the government is allowing.

Ended our road trip in sf. Had no idea how bad it was. Downtown is a ghost town. Homeless people fighting and getting loud at all hours of the day/night. People have signs inside their cars stating they have no valuables inside. Its nuts. Don't know why people live there.
I have a friend that has lived in downtown SF for the last 25 yrs. He used to have an old van he used to drive out of the city to visit friends and family in SJ. 1967 dodge van that looked like the mystery mobile from Scooby Doo. He NEVER kept ANYTHING valuable in it, even in the beginning. Then the homeless starting doing drugs and having sex in it. He thought it was gross and dangerous enough that he had to wear thick gloves to clean it out of used condoms and needles. The final straw was when they all starting using it as a bathroom and actually taking dumps in the vehicle. THEN he finally sold it and now rents a car for just a day.
@@tanyachefwhy would u keep anything valuable in a vehicle in the beginning? what does that have to do with anything? you should never leave anything in your vehicle of value at any time, it got glass windows and some of the time they are see thru, the trunk can be opened from inside of most vehicles so thats not a safe spot either. if you leave something of value in your car, it is something someone wants, even change in the cup holder, dont even leave your registration in the car, insurance either if your not doing digital. he thought it was gross and dangerous that he only started to wear thick gloves? lol, one would argue that he should feel more violated with what was happening in his vehicle than if someone were to have simply broken in and stolen valuable shit, just going into your vehicle knowing that other people have been in there for extended periods of time and you got no clue where they have beenmell would be enough to get rid of the vehicle without ever wanting to go back inside of it again, finding condoms, needles, cigarettes and whatever else he the first time this happened he should have done something different if he was going to keep the vehicle, the worst part is, no one is surprised that they were taking dumps in there, not one bit, the question that i always wonder is, how they can do that and not wipe their ass after? its not like they are prepared carrying toilet paper with them or else they would have planned to take their shit some where else. sounds like your friend went through a whole bunch of nastyness (which is not particulary his fault) besides the fact that he didnt decide to do something sooner lol

These stores don’t have insurance. They are self insured which means they eat the cost. I work for a multi billion dollar corporation when you are that big you self insured.
Actually, the end consumer eats the cost. It all gets passed on to the hard working family. Which is why anyone who excuses this type of sh*t are just as much to blame. They say things like "why should I care about some million dollar company?". They're too stupid to even realize or care that, in the end, we are the ones footing the bill.

this is difficult to watch. For someone who started on the bottom with absolute minimum income and worked its way up, I have zero sympathy for"life is tough." It's tough for everyone but the rest of us work hard and none of us have ever thought about storming a store and stealing. Hearing the guy in the $1k black Canada Goose jacket complain and not feel bad about what he does infuriates me. These people need to be locked up.
We do it different ways. I never stole, but I used fake bills to "buy" plenty of things at stores. I called all my credit card companies to got myself up to like $30k in credit, spend 9 months buying groceries and paying bills with cash advances, then filed bankruptcy once I was working again. You gotta do what it takes to survive. I learned to code and became a Software Engineer, but not everybody can do that.

Good on you for not engaging in the same bad behavior as your peers! It’s so sad because it’s the everyday/ average citizens that are paying the price for this thievery. It’s why we are paying so much more at stores. Stay safe and wishing the best of luck to you and your family!

I worked in retail for well over 10 years and we had to deal with boosters constantly. What’s frustrating is their lack of knowledge on how insurance works and how it effects the store and its employees. Stores are effected immediately because that product isn’t replaced right away. So with lack of inventory we miss sales and hours as a result.
Born and live in San Francisco. Where I'm at atop Nob Hill there used to be curbs filled with Vespa and other brand name scooters. Myself, I used to park my scooter all the time. From about 2017 forward I had three scooters stolen. Insurance would pay the claim, I'd buy another scooter, that one would get stolen. End result, I no longer own a scooter. Something else I noticed a few months back, ALL THE SCOOTERS ATOP NOB HILL ARE GONE. There's one or two I see once in a while, but the numbers have gone down from about 50 to three. And I never see any of those $6,000 Vespa scooters any longer. One small example of how bad it is here in San Francisco.

This is the main reason we should legalize drugs. People need to know what they are putting in their body and if these drugs were pure and properly labeled the overdoses would go away except for the intentional ones.

He deserves it. His journalism has actually shed so much light to the truth. It’s obvious why SF is the way it is. Massive illegal immigration and drug trafficking. I’m an immigrant myself, I went through the process. Why should these low lifes get a pass? Immigration is a simple solution, if the immigrants coming in are less civil, which they are, the overall civility of your country degrades. They need to shut the border and start the biggest deportation campaign in human history. They need to stop drug trafficking as well. Fentanyl is an awful drug. It brings nothing but suffering. Outside a medical setting, absolutely no good comes from it. Those two things are the root cause of all this and the common US citizen suffers. I didn’t leave a shithole country with no freedom to watch my beautiful America become just like one of those shithole countries and frankly worse. It’s a disgrace.

We are witnessing the collapse of an empire my friends. So many people have lost lost touch with their souls. They have no consideration for the implications their actions have on others.
It definitely feels that way. I live in Texas. I used to idolize San Francisco and the Bay Area as the center of the tech industry, and dreamed of living there… not any more. I think I’ll stick with Fort Worth. If criminals getting away with crime is what “woke” looks like, then I don’t want any part of it. Even minor crimes add up, especially when they are widespread; it hurts people’s quality of life. In my opinion, everyone should have the opportunity to make an honest living; access to jobs might be the antidote to a life of crime for some people, but they have to want to change their ways (unfortunately, some will not be willing to change). As a parallel to this, there are homeless people who do not want to go into shelters (and avoid getting help) because they don’t want to follow the shelter’s rules, particularly when it comes to drug use. If somebody would rather live a life of crime, and/or remain addicted to drugs, they are going to continue doing so. Interventions and incentives can be helpful when it comes to nudging people in the right direction, but the individual person must be willing to change (and they have to live with the consequences of their actions, good or bad). Yes, I’m a trans woman, out and proud. If someone like me is criticizing aspects of “the woke agenda,” you know there’s a problem.
It’s abundantly clear to me that all these people who say “Oh they have insurance, the stolen goods are covered” have absolutely no clue how it actually works. The fact they think theft isn’t the primary factor for stores closing down is absolutely bonkers. Profitable businesses don’t just permanently close
Thats true, but the reason they are poor is beyond other things thats bankers stole from them, devalued their money and houses and insurance covered it even with government money.
It’s crazy to see the city I live in, I work in, I pay TAX in it’s absolutely disgusting. I blame the ones who are in charge who don’t do shit to stop the crime and clean the city up. I’m so use to seeing this in person it’s a reality check to see it on a screen
As a resident its terrible living in SF. Not only do the laws do nothing against anyone stealing, they also prevent a lot of people from defending themselves or their business's

Actually, store employees CAN defend themselves, the guy who stopped Banko Brown never was prosecuted. It's HOMEOWNERS who get in trouble for defending ourselves, please don't confuse the 2 otherwise it's obvious you're not a resident. Homeowners, yes, they have no choice but to let people burglarize, but security guards or store staff CAN stop shoplifting, they just choose not to

“Their insurance will pay for it” such a smooth brain though. Insurances will pay up to a certain point, they are in it for the money, if they keep paying out they will drop the business as a client, that’s when stores close down and people loose their jobs and people without a vehicle loose access to basic necessities
once enough stores close, they will be coming for residents, for sho
The costs of everybody's insurance goes up too. The more money the company has to pay out the more they are going to charge customers with their rates.
Yeah insurance is a for profit business. I worked corporate side for one, they're as cutthroat (often more) as any other industry. Once it becomes apparent a client is carrying unreasonable risk the insurance company is gonna hike rates through the roof or drop them as a client causing the retailer to pull out of the market. Insurance companies aren't just gonna hand out millions of merchandise by proxy by insuring businesses in areas that decide stealing isn't a crime anymore. This will hit a breaking point with the average joe feeling the lion's share of the consequences.

No differnet than the corporate executives, owners and the trust fund kids. The system doesn't reward the working class or students. It rewards risk takers and those with might. The end result is one community of wealthy who live like royalty. The security class who protects them and pretends to uphold the law. Then the peasant class who fights with each other for the crumbs. It's feudalism. Democracy was suppose to get rid of the old system, but it hasn't.
This system is the reason we have fallen behind, so many young kids could of been productive citizens but the odds are they are gonna be a victim of difficult circumstances only because they were born in the peasant class.

As someone who works for the excess carrier insurance business, please let me educate these people that think, oh insurance will cover it”. Yes, insurance will cover it for a while, but the premiums continue to rise at an exponential rate, based on every claim that is received, and the dollar amount of that claim. Eventually it gets to a point where the cost of the premium outweigh the benefit of keeping that store open and thus the closing of the store. Some carriers won’t insure certain locations now either because it’s cost prohibitive since claims are guaranteed to occur. To think that the theft is not the cause of stores closing is absurd!
It’s because most people have never owned or even been close to owning a business! They have no idea the actual cost of running a profitable company or store…
That dude was a complete idiot and has no idea how businesses work. Sad they don’t even know they’re harming their own community and will put themselves in a worse position.

He then gives the proceeds to other criminals in his neighborhood who probably don't have honest jobs and just prey on others for a living. Some of the thieves who don't care about stores closing (or that lady who felt bad that she couldn't steal from the closed store anymore) are truly awful.

This is very common pattern in humanity. If you stop arresting and prosecuting criminals they will increase the amount of crime they do.

Don't let anyone make you think otherwise.

While I fully support that, the root to this problem is mass illegal immigration and drug trafficking. The fencers/gangs are immigrants who give the money back home and these fencers get their products from druggies who will do anything to get high. Close the border, stop the drug trafficking, and imprison drug dealers for a looooong time. That's how you fix this issue. No drugs, less incentive for petty theft. Close the borders and deport all these criminals. As a legal immigrant who had to go through the difficult and lengthy process of immigrating to this country 23 years ago, I am furious with this open border. These scumbags give immigrants a bad rep and how dare they have such an "easy" migration while receiving tens of thousandths of dollars from the government while the rest of us legal immigrants had to endure through the process and I got nothing and wanted nothing from the government. It's despicable what the government is allowing.

I have a friend that has lived in downtown SF for the last 25 yrs. He used to have an old van he used to drive out of the city to visit friends and family in SJ. 1967 dodge van that looked like the mystery mobile from Scooby Doo. He NEVER kept ANYTHING valuable in it, even in the beginning. Then the homeless starting doing drugs and having sex in it. He thought it was gross and dangerous enough that he had to wear thick gloves to clean it out of used condoms and needles. The final straw was when they all starting using it as a bathroom and actually taking dumps in the vehicle. THEN he finally sold it and now rents a car for just a day.
@@tanyachefwhy would u keep anything valuable in a vehicle in the beginning? what does that have to do with anything? you should never leave anything in your vehicle of value at any time, it got glass windows and some of the time they are see thru, the trunk can be opened from inside of most vehicles so thats not a safe spot either. if you leave something of value in your car, it is something someone wants, even change in the cup holder, dont even leave your registration in the car, insurance either if your not doing digital. he thought it was gross and dangerous that he only started to wear thick gloves? lol, one would argue that he should feel more violated with what was happening in his vehicle than if someone were to have simply broken in and stolen valuable shit, just going into your vehicle knowing that other people have been in there for extended periods of time and you got no clue where they have beenmell would be enough to get rid of the vehicle without ever wanting to go back inside of it again, finding condoms, needles, cigarettes and whatever else he the first time this happened he should have done something different if he was going to keep the vehicle, the worst part is, no one is surprised that they were taking dumps in there, not one bit, the question that i always wonder is, how they can do that and not wipe their ass after? its not like they are prepared carrying toilet paper with them or else they would have planned to take their shit some where else. sounds like your friend went through a whole bunch of nastyness (which is not particulary his fault) besides the fact that he didnt decide to do something sooner lol

What’s frustrating is their lack of knowledge on how insurance works and how it effects the store and its employees. Stores are effected immediately because that product isn’t replaced right away. So with lack of inventory we miss sales and hours as a result.
Born and live in San Francisco. Where I'm at atop Nob Hill there used to be curbs filled with Vespa and other brand name scooters. Myself, I used to park my scooter all the time.
From about 2017 forward I had three scooters stolen. Insurance would pay the claim, I'd buy another scooter, that one would get stolen. End result, I no longer own a scooter.
Something else I noticed a few months back, ALL THE SCOOTERS ATOP NOB HILL ARE GONE. There's one or two I see once in a while, but the numbers have gone down from about 50 to three. And I never see any of those $6,000 Vespa scooters any longer.
One small example of how bad it is here in San Francisco.
just think, you just made some KiaThug's life a little harder. You should be ashamed.

Gotta Start Street Justice. Definitely Time To Just Leave Not Only San Francisco But The whole State Of California. Any Place That Has Zero Consequences Is Dangerous And Very Unfair To The Tax Players😡
Getting "caught" stealing and saying "It's San Fransisco, bro." is crazy to me. 😂😂
How inconvenient for the lady and the dog that when all the stores close, she has to go out of the city and it takes time. They are so obvious out on the street selling the stolen goods and nobody thinks anything of it... Our society has degenerated into criminality. The law abiding citizen is the victim.😢
@@karenmiller553 FR last time I rode BART (bay area rapid transport) there was a homeless guy sleeping on bags of trash/his stuff, used needles on the ground, pools of urine and human feces in between the seats (bc BART closed it public bathrooms bc so many ppl were ODing and making a huge mess inside). So, she is going to have to smell and be exposed to all that on her ride out to Walnut Creek to steal.
It should be alarming and disgusting yo you. Not funny 😒

Ehh, I wouldn’t endorse Biden but this shit has been going on since big daddy Bush Sr. was in office and technically stealing or thievery may actually be the world’s oldest profession but “boosting” from mid to high end retail has been a serious thing throughout California since the 90s.. nowadays you have these stupid kids doing it because they saw it on the internets and the tik toks and etc.. it LOOKS like a free for all but the FBI has a new approach to organized retail theft that is to ALLOW THEM TO RACK UP ENOUGH FELONIES TO BUILD AIR TIGHT CASES AND GUARANTEED PRISON TIME (FBI Organized Retail Theft Task Force) they are watching All of this 24/7 and once they are on your ass it’s over and done.. these vids aren’t going to show THAT part because truthfully it’s mostly SENSATIONALIST HYPE CONTENT.. taking a microcosm aspect and blowing it out of proportion..

Love how your talking about fentanyl. An outbreak happened today at my school and 4 people including our SRO officer was hugely impacted by it all because it was laced. Thank you for getting the word out and showing people it really can happen🙏🏻
This is the main reason we should legalize drugs. People need to know what they are putting in their body and if these drugs were pure and properly labeled the overdoses would go away except for the intentional ones.
@@Jake-mv7yoso true. The fact that people don’t understand this is baffling. There is no more old school heroin. Its stuff that is 1000x worse
Now you need to worry about N-desethyl isotonitazene. It's 20x more potent than fentanyl AND narcan is not effective reversing its effects. They're lacing everything even weed. Be vigilant, there are test strips for both fentanyl and this new synthetic opiod.

That's crazy dude the day I got my driver's license at 16 my friend and i went a shoplifted from a few stores, never did it before and on the 4th store we got caught, they called our parents, we had to do community service like 100 hours. We stole like $50 worth of trash and had to do community service. These knuckleheads stealing $900 worth and get away without any punishment lmfao this country is getting wild
When I got my license, I picked up 3 friends and went to the McDonald's drive-thru.

Good stuff man
As a loss prevention lead at a retail store in SoCal, I can personally tell you this shit sucks and it bad watching the people who pay for stuff seeing others run through the exits with more then they are buying.
the government is the problem.
What can YOUR retail store do as a loss prevention lead.
Why do you still have a job then? If you can't prevent loss, don't cash your paycheck.
@@B3Bandbecause if you even upset a thief in a Democrat city your life is over. They have all the rights, you can't touch them especially if they're not white
@@B3Band All he or she can do is what they are hired to AND its is the responsibility of the authorities and ultimately the court system to REALLY stop retail theft. As this video shows, there are many "cogs" in the wheel of a crime like retail theft. If he or she could do it 100% on their own, they would and not worry about cashing checks but rather yacht management bc they would have so much $ from their miraculous product/program.

Over a mil? Daayyuum! Last time I was on Tommy’s channel he barely had 20k! Nice to see!
He deserves it. His journalism has actually shed so much light to the truth. It’s obvious why SF is the way it is. Massive illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
I’m an immigrant myself, I went through the process. Why should these low lifes get a pass? Immigration is a simple solution, if the immigrants coming in are less civil, which they are, the overall civility of your country degrades. They need to shut the border and start the biggest deportation campaign in human history. They need to stop drug trafficking as well. Fentanyl is an awful drug. It brings nothing but suffering. Outside a medical setting, absolutely no good comes from it.
Those two things are the root cause of all this and the common US citizen suffers. I didn’t leave a shithole country with no freedom to watch my beautiful America become just like one of those shithole countries and frankly worse. It’s a disgrace.
Great work! Great interviews...and the editing is great. This is one of the most interesting videos yet. This is like a peek into a different world to me. I see things like this on the news, but your work is totally different. Interviewing the players involved is fascinating. You have a reputation that allows you to get close and get things that no one else can. Love your work.
I'm from San Francisco, born & raised there. You're brave for taking the cameras to 24th & Mission

Damnnnnn !!!! Mad respect Tommy when you picked up the cup he threw ❤❤❤ just wow!
We are witnessing the collapse of an empire my friends. So many people have lost lost touch with their souls. They have no consideration for the implications their actions have on others.
It definitely feels that way.
I live in Texas. I used to idolize San Francisco and the Bay Area as the center of the tech industry, and dreamed of living there… not any more. I think I’ll stick with Fort Worth.
If criminals getting away with crime is what “woke” looks like, then I don’t want any part of it. Even minor crimes add up, especially when they are widespread; it hurts people’s quality of life. In my opinion, everyone should have the opportunity to make an honest living; access to jobs might be the antidote to a life of crime for some people, but they have to want to change their ways (unfortunately, some will not be willing to change). As a parallel to this, there are homeless people who do not want to go into shelters (and avoid getting help) because they don’t want to follow the shelter’s rules, particularly when it comes to drug use. If somebody would rather live a life of crime, and/or remain addicted to drugs, they are going to continue doing so. Interventions and incentives can be helpful when it comes to nudging people in the right direction, but the individual person must be willing to change (and they have to live with the consequences of their actions, good or bad).
Yes, I’m a trans woman, out and proud. If someone like me is criticizing aspects of “the woke agenda,” you know there’s a problem.
You sound like the Actions have consequences kid

Saw the channel 5 Andrew Callahan version of this, that place is wild
It’s abundantly clear to me that all these people who say “Oh they have insurance, the stolen goods are covered” have absolutely no clue how it actually works. The fact they think theft isn’t the primary factor for stores closing down is absolutely bonkers. Profitable businesses don’t just permanently close
Amazon killed those stores not theft.
Thats true, but the reason they are poor is beyond other things thats bankers stole from them, devalued their money and houses and insurance covered it even with government money.
If you can’t “survive” or make a living in one of the most expensive cities, why not just leave and move to an affordable state
Why move somewhere where it’s harder to steal if that’s how these people live
This is the journalism that is needed for the city
It’s crazy to see the city I live in, I work in, I pay TAX in it’s absolutely disgusting. I blame the ones who are in charge who don’t do shit to stop the crime and clean the city up. I’m so use to seeing this in person it’s a reality check to see it on a screen

As a resident its terrible living in SF. Not only do the laws do nothing against anyone stealing, they also prevent a lot of people from defending themselves or their business's
as much as I feel for the good people of CA, majority voted for this woke government. Vote for the right people, demand order and allow to practice the 2nd amendment. That's a good start. Just try not to bring the failed liberal views and policies to the red states.
Laws create crime. They don't prevent crime.
bennyrawood: And a lack of them/lack of implementing them does? Lol there many evidences o it there, such as this video, that proves otherwise.
Actually, store employees CAN defend themselves, the guy who stopped Banko Brown never was prosecuted. It's HOMEOWNERS who get in trouble for defending ourselves, please don't confuse the 2 otherwise it's obvious you're not a resident. Homeowners, yes, they have no choice but to let people burglarize, but security guards or store staff CAN stop shoplifting, they just choose not to
@@greenelephant1231blows my mind how a Homeowner can not defend himself against a burglary in California
What's worse is the splintering effect to other Cities surrounding SF. It's not just SF/Oakland anymore, it's going all over the bay.
The bay has always been bad. East Palo Alto once had the highest murder rate ever recorded in the whole US

That’s so true!!! I almost peed my pants in San Fran when I was visiting because there was NO where to use the bathroom! I ended up going in a Starbucks but I had to buy coffee. Which is cool, I love a good Starbs on the west coast 😌
Little bit of info for the people outside California:
This issue started with California's "3 Stikes Rule" because we were giving people life for petty crimes that happened to fall under a felony. One dude got life for taking a pair of jeans hanging out someones window. In attempt to ease this issue, they lightened the laws around these "minor" crimes effecting the 3 Stikes Rule and now, we have this...🤷🏽♂️
Way too simplistic and that law had nothing to do with prop 47 that made any theft under one thousand a non felony that police won’t pursue because the district attorney throws it all out.
I would rather they spend life in jail for minor crimes than this. Literally anything is better than this
@@thomasshepard9149 It's costs tax payers $100,000+ per year, per prisoner here in California. It's currently a "lose-lose" situation either way. I don't have an opinion on the matter because I don't have an answer to the problem. Just pointing out a bit of history important to the doc imo
@@KP-ol3tc that’s a choice as to the cost. Private prisons operate much cheaper and we obviously need more capacity. Build more prisons for shitty people and keep costs extremely low. EZ
This is exactly what happened but they must figure something else out.
I used to work for a insurance company. It's sad to watch this in San Francisco. There's alot of paperwork behind ensuring a company, investigators to find justice. Robberies like this major gives this city a reputation making insurances refuse to ensure in that area suggesting major companies to move somewhere elsewhere
Perception is reality. Sad to say. San Francisco has been given this reputation by Republicans, and they love seeing this city go under.
WTF are you smoking? Republicans didn't vote for prop 47. Nice try at the gaslighting. Next you'll say that businesses are closing because of Amazon. @@MD-cy8uj
Paperwork? That’s racist!
@@MD-cy8ujI love seeing people realize the consequences of their own actions, when that lightbulb goes on in their heads it’s priceless.
When you leave the house understand that people are walking around making this a "JOB". They wake up with the mindset of going out to steal, walking around doing nothing all day.
