The absolute state of liberal-run San Francisco

You can't really be this dense. Read the article. Hyper-liberal run city essentially legalizes theft under $950 and you don't see that as a problem? Obviously you're not a business owner or have respect for anyone else's property. Unless the officer is literally standing there when it happens it's not pursued, and even that is not guaranteed. I bet you'd care if it was your store or home they were stealing from.

I did read the article, and again /yawn.

The video shows that three people used their cell phones to record a man filling a garbage bag with items in a San Francisco Walgreens. But the recordings didn't discourage the theft, nor did the security guard's attempt at grabbing the bag.

The man got away with everything on a Lyft bike that he rode down the aisle and out the front door.

People shoplift shit (even brazenly) in every major city. You truly don't think stuff like that happens in (say) Houston?

The only thing resembling what you're talking about was one random reporter clutching at her pearls:

In the past year and a half, Melendez says she has witnessed three of these out-in-the-open shoplifting sprees at different Walgreens throughout San Francisco. "At what point do we say enough is enough, we want our city back," she asked.

So ... one person in a major city said "there's too much crime": quick, tell everyone that you know, San Francisco is Mad Max land!

Meanwhile, the article contained absolutely zero facts or statistics of any sort. If you actually look at ... you know ... the facts, SF isn't even in the top 10 of most dangerous cities in America. Only one (Stockton) is even in California.

If you actually read the article ... it's one brave shoplifter, and a drama queen complaining about how it shows there's too much crime. That's it.
