JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 22, 2020 First confirmed case of looting was in a San Francisco Walgreens. Once people see looting going on and people getting away with it, it should spread like a pandemic. https://toofab.com/2020/03/20/shocking-video-shows-looters-calmly-stuffing-bags-at-walgreens-and-walking-out/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All it takes is for one week for people to start getting really scared about where their next meal will come from. There are a lot of people in that position right now. I don't think they get a free pass to loot or anything, but faced with all of this uncertainty, I can also understand that if there is no other way to buy what they need, they are going to do what they have to.

I think that one person in the video was stealing makeup. The other guy and woman were in the gum and mints isle. Must be desperate for their next meal. It is nice that they hire security people to hurl insults at looters though. Pretty effective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Follow what has always been the best method of fighting the spread of a highly communicable disease and worked harder to isolate the infected. Once infection hits a certain point there is no turning back. This general isolation will not work unless it goes on for a long time, in which the economy may take a decade to recover from. I would have passed stimulus already. This shlt should already be in place. It should have already been agreed upon. Not wait until we are balls deep in contamination and then start discussing what to do. People are blaming the Dems for not voting for the stimulus, but they say it doesn't protect workers as much as it should. The Republicans had to have known the Dems wouldn't vote for it, and yet they decided to play games and waste time by voting too early. This shlt should be stream lined, but if it's going to be voted on, there needs to be 24/7 debate by both sides to get a complete agreence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted March 23, 2020 Dems want to triple the cost...and wtf do forgiving student loans have to do with this. Get Pelosis pork out of the damn thing and get it passed.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 27, 2020 Apparently, news media outlets refuse to use the word "looting". They are calling it 1. Break-ins. 2. a crime spike 3. thefts 4. smash and grabs 5. breaking and enterings Vancouver has been see 4 "events" per day, up from an average of 1 per day. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/break-ins-quadruple-in-vancouver-as-stores-shut-for-covid-19-1.4868855?cache=yesclipId104062%3FclipId%3D89680%3FclipId%3D89531%3FclipId%3D68596 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
