@ Edward
PLUS, Said Stores should be allowed to SUE the Families for Damages. After all, if the Parents can Sue because their 35 Year Old Criminal Son was Legally Shot by Police then the Store Owners should be allowed to Sue the Parents of the Looters.

Business should be permitted to post a sign that states “Looters Shot on Sight”, and legally permitted to follow through with that action. Furthermore, any looter shot (and/or his or her family) are not permitted to profit in anyway as a result of said action… no race card, no Ben Crump, no ghetto lotto.

… problem solved

I SAY, allow the Stores to Hire “Active Armed Security” to be positioned inside the Stores and SHOOT any and ALL involved in the Smash-N-Grabs. They get a Bonus for each Kill.

It’s not really like the “wild, wild west”. as owner Virgil Rogers said. In the wild, wild west the owner of store selling high dollar merchandise would hire a couple of armed guards to provide immediate justice should bad guys try and steal his stuff. I don’t think it would take too many immediate interventions by store owners before the smash and grab problem went away.

Deflecting blame of the lawless situation in our Nation for the “Mostly Peaceful” Smash and Grab along with other out of control crime to nefarious and shadowy “Crime Leaders” does nothing but provide cover to the white leftists who sponsored the Antifa riots under the guise of BLM along with providing cover to the Biden administration and the leftist media who cheered on the crimes. Also dont forget all the Soros installed and other leftist prosecutors who will not punish criminals.
We need to fund local LEO’s to set up task forces to apprehend these criminals and prosecutors who will hand out maximum sentencing to stop the crime.
Funding a task force to chase down imaginary “large criminal organisations” does nothing but prolong the situation and provide cover for the leftists and Biden Administration who are responsable for our out of control crime.

I would have called it a “FART” for Fast Action Response Team”. As long as there is not a consequence, crime will continue.

Kids aren’t sophisticated enough to steal a million dollars in expensive merchandise (handbags, jewelry, clothing, etc.) and sell them for any kind of significant return. (Try putting a $20,000 handbag on eBay at any price and see what kind of attention you get.) The merchandise has to be funneled through the same kinds of hands/organizations as if it was money being laundered, and sold privately. That takes a kind of sophistication and a network that the kids don’t have. They make a LOT more money as the acquisition arm of organized crime than they ever could peddling them in their neighborhoods.

Good on Moody and FORCE. I wish them well.

Stop with the “Smash and Grab” terminology already. Everyone knows that the proper Progressive PC term is, “Undocumented Shopping Spree”.

I do agree with Mike these smash and grab are likely small time local gang or social media arranged. The idea that secret big time villains are in control seems kind of ludicrous. Ashley has been watching way too much Marvel, DC, or maybe too much old Bond movies on Netflix. Uhh Ash its local…very local and the local LEO’s need to do their jobs.

Psst… Don’t look now Ashley, Florida is seeing what’s going on in other states right now. There is nothing complex or sophisticated about a smash and grab robbery.
