DEMS BAFFLED BY SMASH N’ GRAB ROBBERIES TAKING NATION
Democrats on Capitol Hill are flummoxed by the waves of smash-and-grab retail thefts in their states, with some denying it’s happening and others saying they are not ready to make major shoplifting a felony.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said retailers could be fabricating the rash of smash-and-grab burglaries and “flash mob” shoplifting sprees.
“We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,” she told The Washington Times. “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”

Nothing that comes out of the media’s or actresses like Cortez’s mouth is done or said by accident or off cuff. They say what they are told to say, when they are told to say it.
They are all enemies, and seriously, thank you for naming thy enemy.
Something more conservatives need to grow a spine and do, and stop with the “JuST wAKe thEm up” bs. They made a CHOICE. They chose their side, and it isn’t our side nor is it the side of us having a country and culture.
Just like the fake election, they ignore video evidence of misdeeds. Pathetic and sad that this type of person has the levers of government.
The article called it organized crime. I will tell you what organized crime is, Federal, State, and Local Goverment is organized crime. Pure satanical evil that’s what it is. How much more?
This flashmob looting trend has the potential to destabilize that national situation very rapidly. I do not anticipate any liberal authorities taking any adequate measures to stop this any time soon as it is looked upon by them as merely a property crime and a misdemeanor. The large retailers will also likely do very little in the proactive sense, which will only encourage the behavior and ultimately lead to permanent store closings in the most at risk areas. There has already been at least one fatal shooting of a security guard in one of these attacks, though I have read that in many cases the looters are will armed and have fired warning shots to keep the police response at a distance. If this is true and it continues, there will be nothing to keep the looters from moving on to any target that suits them such as banks, gun shops, and affluent residential areas. Perhaps they will even start blocking roads and robbing motorists It will be curious and telling to observe the evolution of this trend and take note of at what point it becomes permissible to shoot these people, if at all. The likely convergence of the profit motivated flashmob looter with the politically motivated BLM rioter is a small step to take and will produce a dangerous hybrid that will claim the supposed moral high ground of “social justice” as a protective cloak to insulate themselves from adequate forceful countermeasures. The BLM riots of previous years demonstrated that widespread arson and attempted murder were tolerated and unpunished. These riots almost always included an element of looters who took advantage of the chaos. If the persons organizing these 100 man flashmobs were to decide to co-opt the BLM namebrand and have that logo prominently worn on the looter’s ninja hoodie attire, and call these attacks “Raparations Raids” or some such, BLM’s national organization itself would likely follow along with the momentum. The next thing you know the hot civil war is in progress and it will have been on a schedule dictated by opportunistic and clever thieves instead of the intellectuals who think they are guiding the revolution. Keep you scanners on,
All of what Mike said makes sense. Once the supplies quit coming in the mayhem will spread. I said the other night as Gov DeSantis was incentivizing cops and other first responders to come to FL he might be fortifying the state. Any Red state that is doing well the media will no doubt try to stir up trouble and unfortunately they have been quite successful in the past. I think Gov. DeSantis is getting it done and I am very happy with proactive actions.
Check it Out…..gonna be some mad leftists!!

30,000 foot level view:
An attack on a fundamental and cardinal American right: RIGHT TO OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY
…to the exclusion of all others–be they FED GOV, Antifa, BLM or common thieves
Once the notion of PRIVATE PROPERTY goes down the shitter,
so does the entire structure.
If you cannot defend what’s YOURS, you will not defend anything. It’s their tactic.
See throughout history: Communism, Fascism, most all of the “isms.”
Abolish private property –then whadda got? Who owns what?
In Maryland the criminals are crashing cars and trucks into buildings at night and a mob ransacks the store.
It’s some real “Fast and Furious” hollywood style stuff and it works.
The authorities can only react to it.
It’s becoming the standard. And there isn’t enough detectives and state resources to handle it.
California, New York, and Texas could easily tie up all federal police reinforcements with their case loads.
This is some real African or Latin American stuff here.
This disturbing trend is not confined to urban areas or the usual suspects either. This story from mountainous western Maine and the adjacent New Hampshire White Mountains suggests that rural white lowlife types in remote areas might have taken notice of the national news and decided to get a little bolder with their criminal tendencies. There seems to have been little notice of this story outside of the immediate region and it suggests the back country folks need a little bit of work on their readiness posture.
