An 18-year-old Oakland man and two people from San Francisco, ages 30 and 32, were taken into custody. Police also seized a gun from one of the suspects.
Brett Barrette is one of the managers of P.F. Chang’s restaurant across from the Nordstrom store. He watched as the bedlam unfolded.
“I probably saw 50-80 people in like ski masks with crowbars, a bunch of weapons,” he said. “They were looting the Nordstrom.”
“There was a mob of people,” he continued. “The police were flying in. It was like a scene out of a movie. It was insane.”
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you or to your neighborhood.
Target is so 2020. Looters are going upscale now.
Move Northwards to Walnut Creek? Thought confine to SF only.
Just some good people committing “lifestyle” crimes. No need to prosecute even if caught, so why bother catching them.
If I loot a nearby bank to fund my living, will that be an exempt lifestyle crime?
Just give left a few more years, he will be able to buy at deep-deep discount
SF is increasing going the way of Detroit. Future SF is Today Detroit.
What surprise me is that people don’t learn from history, why?
I feel sorry for them. They are trained to reject the part of the history they do not like as myth or propaganda.
Can’t even make this headline up! Physical retail stores make most of their yearly income during holiday season and now curtail their hours. wow.
San Francisco mayor’s plan to combat flash mob looting will limit access to stores ahead of holidays
Ooooo scary…not!
Will not not be an insult to those countries if we compare bay area law and order situation with that of a thirld world country. Because, in third world countries, they lack resources to tame lawlessness. In 4th world countries/regions (like bay area and parts of the USA ) they encourage lawlessness by legalizing and normalizing bad behavior.
It’s an absolute disgrace the kind of lawlessness and homelessness we have here. I don’t have words…For the price we pay to live here, we should be like Switzerland or something similar. It’s crazy we tolerate this shit.
Is this The Purge?

Keep digging. There is way more dirt.
