📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. "The rash of mass retail thefts over the weekend in the Bay Area represents a new paradigm of crime — carefully orchestrated, entrepreneurial, and apparently driven by social media — that has created formidable challenges for law enforcement." “It was a wild weekend,” Sgt. Ray Kelly, spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff’s OfficeKelly said, referring to sprees in Hayward, Walnut Creek, San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco, where roving bands of thieves swarmed into stores, grabbed as much merchandise as they could carry and escaped in getaway cars." "At least two dozen businesses suffered burglaries or attempted burglaries, in some cases with armed individuals shooting as they tried to break in," according to Armstrong. “We do have intelligence that it’s a collective group of people, multiple groups coming together to commit these attempted burglaries,” the chief said, describing a “coordinated effort,” enabled by social media apps. "Flash-mob-style robberies benefit from power in numbers," said Frank Muscato, a retired Dallas police officer. “You go in there with a mob, you’re not going to get chased,” Muscato said, adding that managers usually tell store employees not to intervene." “This kind of organized rampage through a department store strikes me as very unusual,” Stanford University law Professor Robert Weisberg said. He characterized the people committing these crimes as “very entrepreneurial” as they create a supply chain for fencing operations — dealers who buy stolen goods to resell them at a higher price." "A lot of this merchandise winds up overseas," Thomas Ostly, a former prosecutor for the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, said." First, it was Walgreen's Drug Stores, but now the criminals have gone upscale--Louis Vuitton's, high-end jewelry stores, and the Union Square shopping district in the heart of San Francisco, as well as other wealthy towns of the Bay Area. You may have seen the videos of up to 80 people using hammers to smash jewelry cases. Yesterday the same thing happened in southern California. Good questions! TR I know … still stuck here 10 years from now?? [GASP] Then the elite would have gotten their wish on massive depopulation … the way I see it the Lord hast to step in soon to foil their sinister plot … “unless the days be shorten … no flesh will survive” Does anybody know the status on the backlog of the L.A. shipping containers? Are they being moved and distributed to the stores in your area? I saw this article about them rolling out the 18 wheelers shipping the supplies in Arizona region without a human driver. B-) Now if the unsaved would only see this … perhaps their eyes would be wide open that the government doesn’t really care about them and would think twice about standing in line for the next booster shot … A fully driverless truck successfully completes an 80 mile journey from Tucson to Phoenix using Tusimple’s autonomous driving system. In order to supposedly bring order later, you first have to have chaos. So, this is, of course, premeditated. When the Antichrist arrives on the scene, all of this looting and mayhem will cease. All designed to give him more credentials and status. I am praying that we are full into the Millennial reign in 10 years!! :prayer-hands:
