Can’t arrest those hard working Americans though
Basic Decency and Respect is at an all time low. I know we are not a perfect society but this behavior doesn’t help.
It is amazing that most comments think it's not a big deal, would they think the same if those robbers were stealing their houses? What would they say? It's fine if nobody was hurt? That's ok they needed the phones, or nobody cares, grandma doesn't need the tv set?
Let me guess…. 75% of those looters were black and the other 25% are of other races.
NBC IS A HOAX! I hope you all go bankrupt
Mostly peaceful, I'm sure.
Meanwhile venture capital does the same thing from the inside and no news flash there.
Is it racist for me to assume the ethnicity of the looters?
And who said kids today lack exuberance !?😶

This isn’t looting. This is organized crime.
We need Kyles to protect these business from these thug joggers
We are now living in anarchy. 'a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.' People with criminal intent look for weakness in the system - there are plenty of examples - both locally and on the federal level - and they know it.
I’d like to understand why NBC is using the word looters. This is a coordinated robbery.
Based. You love to see it.
In China, I cannot get justice for my father's death due to academic corruption caused by medical corruption, malfeasance in judicial, law enforcement agencies, government administrative departments and discipline inspection, and lack of conscience in media supervision.
Democratic policies lead to this type of behavior
Only equitable!! Christmas coming!! Can’t wait for toy drive.
Nystrom should close all stores in California
Yet liberals think thats ok
Other than stealing merchandise, sounds like what happened at the Capitol last January but they stole laptops and furniture and briefcases before putting their shit on the walls.
Great place to have the hoodie concession!
Shoot to kill orders needed
words out- anyone can legally steal up to $999 without fear of being jailed. it is no longer deemed a crime in California... it is simply an 'infraction' ($50 fine) - it was included in the new its legal to shoot up heroin & smoke meth in public- no longer deemed criminal...
Garbage propaganda media keeps manipulating reality, denigrating people like Kyle, cheerleading rioters and false racism narratives… you get this type of dysfunction spreading, hopefully the karma hits these decision makers on their front steps if anywhere!
As a San Franciscan, I only have to look at our progressive politicians who have ruined this state. SOFT on crime, providing “get out of jail cards.” Voters in this state enjoy CHAOS.
Is that the standard in CA now?
White supremacists? Proud Boys? Trump supporters? Do tell who was behind this.
Well, it's CA. GavinNewsom releases prisoners and our law enforcement can't do a thing about it. It's barely a slap on the hand of caught. Thank you GavinNewsom for your hand in destroy CA. Criminals are God's here.
The People's Republic of California is paying the price for submitting to Progressive State governance & this is a blueprint for that which awaits the rest of the nation.
Hard jail time and big fines for these thieves. Sends a strong message. Slap on the wrist does nothing.
This looters would not be doing this in Texas.
Welcome to Biden's America
Flash mob heist please.
That is not looting. It is straight up targeted theft.
They’d all be guilty of conspiracy too, right?
Flash mob style looting? Brilliant plan except for the cameras that caught people and license plates.
So I glad I quit working in retail a while back.
