Many commenters on the video expressed outrage and wondered if local police would investigate the situation. Lowe’s eventually reported the incident, and an investigation is ongoing, but Keizer Police Lieutenant Andrew Copeland noted that in Oregon, many jails aren’t taking offenders such as shoplifters, in order to cut back on their populations during COVID-19.

It’s like an invitation to steal. What could go wrong?

This is the new normal, and why paying customers will pay more for goods and services.

It's my understanding that most businesses will not try to stop shoplifters because it's more hassle than it's worth since they won't be put in jail or made to pay restitution.

I saw this happen at a downtown Safeway the other night.

The guys did it in an interesting way from what I could tell - they paid for the first half of the order and then informed the clerk they were taking the remainder. After a discussion the manager came out and essentially let them have 1/2 of the stuff (but got them away from paying customers first). I slowly loaded up my car so I could see how it played out.

ETA: there was paid security in the building but they clearly were instructed to not get involved. Was only the clerk and the store manager who addressed the pillagers.

Black folk can literally get away with murder in Portland - they should move up here em masse and prey on white liberal guilt

Good. Glad Oregon is turning more and more into a shite hole. Gotta hit rock bottom to change.

If you actually click through all the links to get to the real video, they were not black in this case. The news story included an unrelated picture of black women for some reason.

How hard could it be to find them? The license plate is plain as day in that video

But there is money in chickenshit traffic tickets

Stores need to have bouncers that are employed solely to stop shoplifters in the parking lot. Have a few by the door and a few patrolling the parking lot, all with walkie talkies and dispatched through a security center on location. It would be a risky job, but people would jump do it for $20/hour.

That would be way more costly than just putting up with the theft.

Read a story in the LA Times about how Walgreens has been closing stores in California because of this. There are no prosecutions so people are just stealing left and right. People saying you'd see sidewalk vendors near the Walgreens selling stolen goods from the Walgreens. Insane.

Don't want to fill jails with petty crimes but, at the same time, you'd think someone leaving Lowes with a cart full of shite has committed a greater crime based on the value of what they've taken.

DA's trying to lessen jail crowding and give people a break and, of course, these pieces of shite have to abuse the situation. It's why we can't have nice things.

I assure you, the people who do this kind of shite don't vote. They have no interest in contributing to society in any valuable way.
