    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/3/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-rebuked-doubting-smash-an/

    During an interview with the Washington Times, Ocasio-Cortez downplayed the growing problem of smash-and-grab thefts and organized retail crime.

    "[A] lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.
    "

    I think the real smash and grab is the build back better plan.

    I think it's safe to say AOC's a bit out of touch with reality, or just basically ignorant. These looters need to smash and grab her house to wake her up

    I blame the Antifa / BLM terrorists for setting the standard of mostly peaceful protests. People watch the mob injustice and vicious violence and feel this is the new normal. Thank goodness the right to the privilege of self defense is still legal…you still have nutcases that think assaulting someone with a full-size skateboard to the head is horseplay or something. I guarantee none of them is willing to catch a full blast swing to the temple or maybe they should lol

    I have seen the future and it’s not good bro,…Robots will be the next group accused of white supremacy and being racists. Transformers will be cancelled at universal studios in Florida. Antifa and BLM will go into Home Depot and start smashing iRobot floor cleaners because the act of cleaning is not in keeping with the progressive agenda plus well it’s a robot and robots are the product of those with privilege

    I truly do think
    Many people on the D&D
    Absolutely hate 1. The police
    2. Small businesses
    3. Dave chappelle

    the result of what you said leads to this type of story which is sadly typical

    At least you can’t accuse robots of being transgender
    They literally have no gender

    I normally am pro business but I would hope if any store gets smashed and grabbed it’s this restaurant.

    Here’s the thing
    Their excuse is they the cops have weapons
    In what world do cops not have weapons?
    Are they using Kung Fu?

    also the reports of these smash and grabs are that the criminals have guns . These guns are ghost guns meaning they didn’t buy it legally.

    So the question is, If looters rolled up with guns and the cops rolled up with guns ,
    Who would they welcome?

    If they welcome criminals because they somehow glorify and romanticize that this is sympathetic for social and economic reasons, they would get their ass beaten and their store raided.

    Normal street cops don't have guns in the United Kingdom, China, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, New Zealand, South Korea, and many other countries. They use non-lethal tactics instead of relying on guns.

    But this is the city of San Francisco and everyone knows they have guns
    The ‘they have guns’ excuse is BS. They don’t like the police. And the apology is BS as well because residents there are worried about the crime spread and the negative stories will destroy a business.

    criminals destroyed this dudes ramen shop

    Those ruthless pre-K-ers are smashing and grabbing Kindergarten. Ruthlessness, like we have never seen.

    You should blame the epic wealth inequality that your politicians helped create, that causes people to feel desperate enough to steal in the first place.
