How much do they have to steal before consequences kick in?
I'm not certain what you mean. All actions have consequences. The social media influencer is facing 6 felony charges for example.

Setting aside all the legitimate points about staff on minimum wages in the front line, paying customers not being able to get stuff they need etc, I reckon looting on a grand scale like this is inevitable, and has been coming down the pipeline for some time.
It just looks like the natural outcome of capitalism ripping people off.
They can only take the piss for so long before the mark loses their rag and lunges back at the bully.
Not saying it’s good, not supporting it, not advocating it, not excusing it.
Just saying it looks like a natural development to me.

Yes there is a 24 hour bp garage near me that always has coppers chatting to the staff late at nightYour best bet for finding a copper at night is probably the local BP garage, when I lived by one they were always there when I went in late for a pint of milk - think a blue light uniform must get you a cheap coffee or similar.
Same as....I'm going to agree in part and disagree in part. If those in charge of the economy keep ratcheting down on the poorest elements of society, yes riots are inevitable. The upper classes keep squeezing more and more out of society for themselves, leaving most people casting about for ways to survive. Essentially what's going on is the creation of a permanent underclass. If this continues, there will be more and more riots. Already, the US has less social mobility than most of Europe.
In this particular case, it appears that it was prearranged by professional theft rings to create a riot and exploit the chaos to raid stores. In my estimation, this is both an organic riot and a created riot, as people who were already unhappy with the status quo joined the chaos. The riots that happened the second and third nights were more organic and happened further away from downtown shops.
Many people tell me that only large corporations are affected when this happens. I saw an interview with a lady who ran a small shop for hair extensions and haircare products. She had worked for years to fulfill her dream of owning a shop, working 6-7 days a week to make it happen, and it was raided the same as the corporate stores. She didn't know if she'd be able to reopen.
and before the usual comments of why do i care, it's not my money, etc etc blah blah blah....it's not an ideal world and if, say where i work becomes unprofitable then a lot of peoples jobs are on the line......also can't get my head round that imo stealing is wrong, a lot of them just try it to see if they can

Lots of questions. not at home enough to get through toilet roll
shit at work is the most common answerLots of questions
I go through so much more toilet roll now I work from home 3-4 days a week.shit at work is the most common answer
This what I don't get. The tweet implies undercover cops.At first I thought the three lads loading the car were doing their shopping and the second lot that came rushing up to grab them were a bunch of muggers. It wasn't until the guy with the dog and the woman with the blue dress came meandering up that I realised the thiefs were the guy in the car.
Were all (or indeed any of) those getting stuck undercover Plod though? it just looked like a bunch of the locals had decided to pile in.
Agreed and I would expect cops to be a bit more efficient at getting them out the car. Surprised they were so bothered to intervene though.This what I don't get. The tweet implies undercover cops.
But unless I missed it they don't identify themselves as such, don't show any ID and don't seem to have handcuffs. All of which I'd expect cops, even undercover to do.
That's why I wonder if it is security payed by the shop?Agreed and I would expect cops to be a bit more efficient at getting them out the car. Surprised they were so bothered to intervene though.
Apparently they were a team from TM-Eye, a private investigating force of former police detectives...That's why I wonder if it is security payed by the shop?

They were attending a training session not employed by store I believe..
They then waited 30 minutes for police to arrive..
