CNN Gets a Reality Check on San Francisco's Shoplifting Problem

The shoplifting problem has become so bad in San Francisco that while reporting on the issue, CNN witnessed three thefts in the span of 30 minutes.

At the start of the segment heavy chains and padlocks are shown locking up the freezer section to prevent theft, just one example of the extreme measures stores are taking to protect their merchandise.

“This is just more icing on the cake telling us that rampant crime has become a regular part of life,” San Francisco resident Richie Greenberg told CNN.

“So typical that in the 30 minutes we were at this Walgreens, we watched three people, including this man, steal,” CNN's Kyung Lah followed up, showing footage of a young man walking out of the store, past their cameras, without paying.

Months earlier, CNN reported that the "numbers" don't support store claims that shoplifting is a national crisis.

This "report" is years overdue. That CNN is doing it means the situation has gotten so blatant that CNN was forced to do CYA. Maybe in a few years CNN will admit that the Asian-Bashers in the Bay Area and NYC are not primarily white folk. And that Jew-Bashers are not primarily white conservatives.
