Californee is the place to steal.....

SB533 has passed the senate. This bill makes it illegal for store personnel or owners to confront shoplifters.......for safety of course
That is simply going to drive stores out of business. This will lead to the need to cut off and cauterize around California. Eventually, the shoplifters will steal from each other and since they don't care about gun laws, they will kill each other.

IOW, win-win.

On th e contrary--while it will drive owners out of business, many of them will move to other states where, having learned nothing, they will vote in the same idiots again and repeat the cycle.

The Mexico border wall needs a friend....
 
If nothing else, people need to start talking about all the lost sales tax revenue.That's about the only thing that might at least START to work a little.

Though they'd probably just pass a law making the retailer responsible for making up the unrealized potential sales tax dollars.
 
If you read the bill it doesn't have anything to do with shoplifters.
  1. Lay out procedures for responding to violent emergencies, including alerts about emergencies, feasible evacuation or sheltering plans, and obtaining assistance from staff, security, or law enforcement.
Yes, nothing about stopping shoplifters.
 
Unless businesses develop “safety plans” that prevent employees from confronting criminals, this bill isn’t doing it to that effect. Most already have policies in place for all but their loss prevention personnel prohibiting employee confrontations of criminals.

But, the DAs in the state not prosecuting criminals is already having that effect. That is what’s driving out citizens and business owners.
 
It's California, they are basically the definition of stupid and are literally a meme.

I could run on a platform of significantly reducing all taxes, making your property tax be 1/20th of what it currently is and issuing Letters of Marquee to catch both illegals and thieves and I'd lose by a large margin to some fat racially ambiguous muppet talking about racism and diversity.
 
My theory on all of this:

  • CA passes laws that drive business out of the state
  • People can't get groceries, clothes, necessities
  • The state establishes emergency state run stores to fill the need
  • The state passes "no compete " legislation banning private business
  • Taxes are increased to help fund the stores
  • Communist utopia achieved

You are now taxed to run the store, you are then taxed again when you buy from the store, and you live in a place where you have no other option, so the prices rise due to lack of competition.

There will likely be a "free" option for those under a certain income, so this is all funded by the working class...establishing the wealth distribution that CA has wanted for a long time.
Dove the out Of The state To Turn other states blue. It’s a plan.

NY is doing the same.
