MAJOR NEWS FLASH ..... THE GOD-EMPEROR GAVIN NEWSOM THINKS ORGANIZED MASSIVE RETAIL THEFT IS BAD

by Bob Walsh

Gavin Newsom has just announced that large-scale organized retail theft is probably a bad thing and he intends to crack down on it.  However, with the current California law which essentially decriminalizes shoplifting with a value of under $950 and the LA and SF DAs refusing to prosecute even repeat shoplifters anyway, his moral outrage is simply so much horseshit.

Both London Breed, the SF mayor, and Bill Scott, the SF PD Chief, have decried the viral videos of massive shoplifting by organized groups carried on in broad daylight with impunity. They complain these videos crate a "perception of lawlessness" (thereby implying the perception is false) and assert that crime is actually down in SF.  

The God-Emperor made much noise about a new law which allows the California Highway Patrol to operate task groups to fight organized retail theft.  He didn't explain how this would change the existing state law and how it would compel liberal DAs to prosecute the cases.  Probably because it does not and can not.
