Between 30 to 50 people swarmed the Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, making off with thousands of dollars worth of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, an LAPD spokesman told NBC News.

    I don’t understand why you think bear spraying employees who probably get paid a shit wage and can barely afford rent let alone insane grocery costs right now is helping? Now they will have medical bills they can’t afford on top of maybe having to miss work, which they also can’t afford.

    I agree the root cause needs to be fixed. But if you want to steal as an attempt at fixing that at least do it in a way that you are not fucking over other people in the same position as you. They aren’t part of the problem.

      Is it unfortunate that civilians were in the splash zone with lpos and rent-a-pigs? Yes. Am I going to condemn the thieves’ actions? No. Fuck the police, fuck the elites who rob us day in and day out, and fuck anyone who’s gonna sit there and pearl-clutch for them like you’re not getting robbed too.

        Billionaires love when we infight amongst ourselves rather than go after the real problem. You’re just playing into their hand. It’s not “pearl clutching” it’s called solidarity. Standing together against the real issue instead of continuing to fuck over each other. There are plenty of ways to steal without fucking over your fellow worker.

        You seem to prioritize harming fellow workers over tackling the root cause, which is unfortunate. United we stand, divided we fall. There’s a reason billionaires are VERY scared of us working together, even moreso than theft.
