Mass Looting Flash Mobs Spread in Southern California, Beyond L.A.

Mass Looting Flash Mobs Spread in Southern California, Beyond L.A.

Want real excitement?  You do not need to go para-gliding, parachuting or snorkeling.  Instead go to a mall and wait for the flash mob stealing everything in sight.  Nothing helps the blood pressure more than seeing 30 gangsters ran rampant next to you, stealing appliances, pants and perfumes.  Los Angeles is known for being a friend of criminals—and now the criminals are saying thank you.

“The phenomenon of mass looting has appeared nationwide in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter riots, which also involved looting. City police departments were cut or ordered to pull back, leaving criminals with more leeway.

The phenomenon began in earnest in November 2021, with mass looting in high-end shops in San Francisco. It has since spread to Los Angeles and elsewhere. Several recent looting events in L.A. prompted Mayor Karen Bass to form a task force, with help from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). However, the thefts appear to have spread elsewhere.

The good news is that if arrested, they will get no cash bail and be able to return to the mall in a matter of hours!

The death Monday of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police in Minneapolis ignited this latest wave of outrage in the US over law enforcement’s repeated use of lethal force against African Americans — this one like others before captured on cellphone video.

Mass looting events have been reported outside Los Angeles as the phenomenon spreads throughout Southern California, defying efforts by local officials to deter the flash mobs that carry out the daytime heists in retail stores.

The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday:

Video surveillance and reports released in the last two days by police displayed the ease and speed of flash mob thefts at retail stores in Riverside and Arcadia, the latest crimes in a spate that has struck businesses throughout the region over the last few weeks.

Riverside police released security footage Tuesday from two burglaries committed about a month apart at the Nordstrom Rack at Canyon Springs Marketplace in Riverside.

Five people broke into the Macy’s at the Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia on Tuesday afternoon, according to a police report.
