Rampant retail theft in San Francisco has resulted in Walgreens closing 17 stores in the city and this incident that went viral last month showed how bad things really are there.
Last week, Target announced that six store in the city will now close at 6pm instead of 10pm due to concerns about the safety of their customers and rising theft.
The retail giant said in a statement on Friday:
“for more than a month, we’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area. Target is engaging local law enforcement, elected officials and community partners to address our concerns. With the safety of our guests, team members and communities as our top priority, we’ve temporarily reduced our operating hours in six San Francisco stores.”
As the Washington Examiner’s points out certain crimes have been spiking in San Francisco, including a surge in car burglaries, which are up as much as 700% in some areas, police statistics showed. Burglaries, car thefts, and arson cases rose dramatically in 2020 compared to the year before, and homicides rose 17%.
This is the San Francisco the liberal wanted and are proud of.
As the Czar writes,
"MY NEW NATIONAL INITIATIVE: Requiring payment for goods & services is oppressive and discriminatory. Everyone should have what they want, nobody should be denied. End these hateful laws now. I hope all the woke retailers will join me in this crusade."
