I have seen the videos of groups (or individuals) just walking out of stores with bags of unpaid merchandise. That’s just insane to me. I think out of all the videos I have seen, police arrested or caught 1 individual. Whether or not that person was taken to the station is unknown as the video just stops there.

I think SF is an example of what not to do when it comes to decriminalizing certain aspects. Stealing at all levels should be prosecuted. This discourages others from doing the same. People from all sides should agree with this.
