Who says you do not need more than 10 rounds in a magazine?

Saw some footage of the opposite instance [no shots fired] from another jewelry shop recently.

Getting charged with a drawn pistol seems to be a decent deterrent for the amateur smash & grab.

If just one person started shooting those assholes, they'd be crawling over each other trying to get out the door. Target rich environment.

Let me guess. The rent is too high and they're just trying to feed their family.

Thanks Gavy Newsom and Mayor Breed.

Though the amount in this case probably exceeds the cutoff by numerous times, Newsom is opposing the Prop 47 rollback that would recriminalize a lot of petty theft that’s led to greatly increased crime and property loses across California. Being successful in those little crimes leads some of the thugs pulling them to try for bigger scores like this.

A little mayhem in San Fran Jewelry store

I'd be surprised if that jewelry store ever opens it's doors again...

Actually happened in Silicon Valley, specifically Sunnyvale.

Smash and grabs, and run & grab robberies have simply become a part of everyday life in California, has been happening for years since idiot voters passed Prop 47 in Nov. 2014 by a margin of 60% to 40%. This was the fire under our asses that forced me and my wife to look for another home state, getting our house ready to sell, and get the hell out.

As I posted, has been going on for years, this one seven years ago.

I am sure they got three or 4 maybe out of the 30+

Prop 47 in Nov. 2014

I have some doubts as to whether Prop 47 actually passed. Would 60% of the population really fall for this? Most people work hard for what they have, and are not pro-crime. More and more I am suspicious of the Venezuela voting machines and the Dem agenda.

There should have been a big pile up of dead bodies blocking the doorway.

Seems all over the world people are suddenly "voting" for this sort of chaos and leftist tools that push it. I don't beleive a bit of that.

That the thieves were of Polynesian descent?

It's not about possessions. It's about natural rights. The rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They aren't just stealing things. They're stealing something more important. My sense of happiness and security. It's not just a single event but a lifetime of change.

Our house was into via the rear sliding glass door. Decades ago. To this day, I'm still paranoid about break-ins. I put a bar in the channel so the door can't slide. I double check for the bar every night before retiring. Before I leave the house. I've been doing this type of stuff for decades. Because of a single event.

To me, it ain't about just stuff.

Low level petty thieves are evolving. They're learning there is strength in numbers and in shock and awe. They clearly know a lot of them can get in and out faster, and even if police are close they can't catch all of them.

Why a jewelry store would leave anything out on display when closed is beyond me.

I’m having a difficult time trying to feel bad for California when they do everything they can to ensure that this type of behavior is rewarded

Especially with such an obviously easily breached storefront. The same goes for gun stores that don’t put their stock away in a bona fide safe at night. Yes, it’s a half hour of monotony every day but the alternative is what we see in the video.

Personally, I would get great satisfaction in a team of itchy trigger fingers lying in wait for one of these crews. If these cretin thought this might cost them their lives every time, they’d be far less likely to engage in theft.

Actually, if you look at Europe, it is the opposite.

We'll know more after France holds its snap parliamentary elections next month. But I am slowly becoming optimistic about this November in a way I was not several months ago.

For the record, I was not optimistic at all about November 2016. Events proved me wrong.

I know people around here don't put a lot of reliability on polls around here. But they are the best thing we have to gauge overall mood. Trump was trailing Clinton in 2016 and then Biden in 2020 this far out from the election. He is now ahead. And he averages 3% higher in the battleground states. Biden's approval rating is consistently under 40%. That's the death zone for an incumbent President.

My own opinion having lived a little while is that these things go in cycles. In my lifetime I saw it come to a head first during the Carter administration and then during Clinton administration. People finally getting fed up with the bullshit they are getting fed by the political class.

Here's a pro tip. When you start seeing articles about how people are ignoring the possibility that the Dems could sweep everything in November (yes that was a real, recent article), you know you are at an inflection point.

konata88, I agree. I do the same with the sliding door. It's not just about stuff. If it happened when I wasn't home I'd feel violated. If it happens when I'm home, it's the safety of my family and one of us won't survive.

I dunno, I bet 8 rounds from a 12Gauge or an M1 would turn the tide.
