Every so often, we get the pleasure of watching justice served quickly, like when this would-be shoplifter was decked by a Good Samaritan on his way out of the store with his stolen loot, or when these three U.S. Marines stopped what could have been a bloody massacre by being in the right place at the right time - and by breaking the dude’s knife, to boot.
Unfortunately, not every story ends so satisfactorily.
In yet another mind-boggling scene out of an American city in 2023 America, a bare-faced thief can be seen casually stuffing a trash bag full of shoes from a store wall display and strolling right past a bored-looking security guard while making off with the merch in broad daylight, knowing he’s being filmed…and simply not caring.

It’s not clear where the video was taken, though honestly, you could name a blue-controlled city anywhere in America and I’d be apt to believe you. It’s notable that the people in the clip are wearing masks, meaning the footage is either from the left’s High Holy COVID Days, or it’s a recent scene from one of the last urban holdouts still clinging to the government’s pandemic panic.
And frankly, if I had to warrant a guess, I’d probably put a solid bet on this clip hailing from California, where smash-and-grab daytime robberies have become all too commonplace thanks to a 2014 law that raised the limit for felony theft to $950, meaning that prosecuting lower-level theft - like lifting tons of flip-flops and slippers from a retail shelf - likely won’t see the inked side of a police report, much less actual prosecution.

Of course, while leftist politicians too obsessed with social justice campaigns think less than a grand worth of lifted stuff is just shrugs a'plenty, that's little comfort to the retailers who have to absorb the increasing cost of stolen goods. Just ask Walmart, which recently announced it's closing four of its eight Chicago locations citing tens of millions in losses since opening the first one nearly two decades ago.
