Nytracker Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Well what do you expect from the left coast . Problem is monkey see monkey do. It will happen all over as the police and court systems hands are tied . No accountability for there actions . No penalties makes for Christmas all year long. This lawlessness is turning the US into a third world country. No different than the pirates of Africa.

Robby Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Third world country?!?!?!?!?!? I think the last election sealed the deal on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatball Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It's the new world, why work when you can steal. I work for a large convenience store chain and theft has been steadily rising. People are just blatantly walking out with product and gas theft has increased too. I'm in maintenance but extra cameras, and other improvements we do doesn't seem to help. Someone walked out of a shop on Monday morning pushing our salt spreader! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDose Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Equally important, is why hasn't this been in the news? This is from the UK news. Trains are for interstate commerce travel so this could be Federal level crime! Why aren't the government leadership seeking National Guard protection/help? Appreciate these are all rhetoric questions and whether you are Right or Left you should be concerned.

Nomad Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Its staring to get coverage , it’s the same in Chicago . Twitter has all kinds of videos and such . I watched one report where they interviewed the Sheriff in the county in Calf. Where this was happening , he acted like he never knew this was going on . They jump on moving trains ,cut the locks off the cars and toss out packages , and in one video , it was flat screens . Bring back the Pinkertons or perhaps put hungry tiggers in some of the cars .

Meatball Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 My Google feed NOW has an article showing this. Guess it took the long arm of this forum to wake up the media. You would think Amazon and the other companies would be furious about the losses of product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no comment on that pic as I have no idea where it's from, but there is a long standing tradition of shooting looters on sight and one that I agree with. Stealing during war or a time of political and social crisis is a crime against humanity and, in my opinion, equal to murder or rape.

Farflung Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The War Room (Steve Bannon) and Tucker Carlson had this on Yesterday. Disgusting BS happening in another Blue City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farflung Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The shows I looked at last night, were showing a lot of Amazon packages. Are they going to have to route these trains around the inner city? Or possibly use truckers to get them to where they are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatball Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Drones, just another reason they will want them! We can spy on you and deliver a "package". Seriously though, I fear they won't do anything. Just another thing in this world. Raise prices to cover it. It's terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
