    Looks like railroads are becoming next victims of looting. Look at the video in the article - FedEx, UPS packages were looted. Who know what else they stole.
    Because LA is a port city, this looting can result in worsening of the supply chain.
    Are we witnessing the complete breakdown of society now? Train robberies were a thing quite a while ago.

    People don't commit crimes if they think they'll get caught and punished. Apparently in liberal cities a lot more people don't think they'll get caught or punished if they do. What's to stop these people from committing more crimes, liberal politicians? Don't make me laugh.

    Jokes aside, I think this should be the matter of national security. If the flow of goods stops we are all screwed.

    There would be a lot less crime, that’s for sure.

    Actually you are right! Clearly Democrats policies encourage and reward criminals...

    I agree with not putting thieves in prison, but having no consequences for stealing $950.00 or less is an experiment that is already showing results. Democrats care about the planet, right? Perhaps for every dollar in theft, the thief must remove 5 pounds of trash from our cities, parks, and beaches!

    The thugs are highly organized.

    Often they pre screen near the ports, then tell their partners where to stage inland with friends.

    So a car carrying tvs stops in Pomona and thats where they do the raid. Usually by minors so if they get caught they get out quickly.

    That's just the acquisition side.

    There is a whole system behind enabling them to sell these online without getting caught.

    They also know who the DA's are that will tolerate this.

    Every time you see an unopened TV or most electronics, sold by a “private” seller online, you know it’s hot.

    Yeah, I saw this online ealier.
    I am actually surprised that it took so long for the story to make it to PF.

    They need to implement a massive upgrade in security at the Railyard.

    You can read into it whatever you want, as dems always do.

    The reality is, democrat areas are disgustingly overran with crime and its directly due to their policies.

    Pomona? The city next door, Montclair, is beautiful, prosperous and educated. As soon as you cross into Pomona it gets darker, the clouds come out and the wind starts blowing. There are no leaves on the trees and it looks like the Munsters live there. Pomona is gang land territory.

    When I worked 911 there, there was a well known prostitute with an eye patch.

    The Clairmont colleges were always cool.

    Used to go to concerts at Grove House.

    Try reading there would be less of it and I think you'll be a little more accurate.

    They need to catch the criminals and put them away.

    Back in the day Pomona, Covina, W. Covina, all the way down to Murrieta Hot Springs was my territory for cable TV maintenance crews, the guys with the bucket trucks. When we had outages late at night in certain places in Pomona we might not roll until the sun comes up. Our VPs wanted outages fixed within 90 minutes and you needed a good reason when they weren’t. They rarely questioned long outages in Pomona or Perris.

    Exactly.

    They need a ton of Extra Security, upgraded video surveillance, and maybe a few dozen Vicious Railyard Dogs...
