About 25 cars just blocked the street and rushed into the Walnut Creek Nordstrom making off with goods before getting in cars snd speeding away. At least two people arrested at gunpoint"

@shannonrwatts
Looters? 25 cars blocked a street so 80 people could go into a Nordstrom, pepper spray and physically attack employees, and steal things in a robbery that lasted ONE MINUTE. That sounds more like organized crime"

Comments from the online world regarding this event

Mark J –
First, we’re not going to take anyone to task, even the police who have the means to defend themselves, for being overwhelmed by 80 masked marauders using overwhelming force, speed, and aggression to loot a store in about a minute. We don’t know how you could have been prepared for that unless you had a platoon of folks in hats and bats stationed outside the store before this happened… but then how do you know it’s going to happen?

1. We’re not hyperventilating over Kenosha – that went down as we thought it would.
2. Drawing the usual conclusions… tired but fine. That’s your right.
3. Yes, it was. Or at least one store was.
4. Yes, it is.
5. Again, yes. Plus, they have nice handbags, we hear.

Re: The Chief and City Council – No one is preventing you from discussing this. In fact, write a letter to the editor under your true name and we’ll run it (unless there are any naughty words, etc. in it). People moan about not being heard or not being able to air their views and you ask them to write a letter doing that and it’s crickets. Soooo…

We can agree to disagree. I’m not contending we could stop 80 people, but we could at least try to stop some of it, and punish many. Catch ten, twenty, thirty. Have the stores close early Friday & Saturday night; have another six or ten officers / Sheriffs at the mall. If there are ten police officers already on site, maybe the hoodlums go home. (Show of force.) They tip off their collaborators… police are here. Then ten more local police arrive within minutes. Then mutual aide.

Make a public statement of such, and that any potential looters will be prosecuted. Monitor social media, we had weeks to prepare. Concord, Antioch, San Ramon aren’t targets. Install exit cameras in the city. You nab 10-20 criminals, you get them to finger the social media sites they used and some collaborators.

When a grandfather or Mother is unfortunately injured or killed, we can’t say “we didn’t see it coming”. We choose inaction and lawlessness.

These aggressions are emboldened by passive police enforcement. The black gangs are well aware that the police are unlikely to use force against them amidst politically sensitive backdrops and that’s exactly what happened here.

This is actually the truth. A lot of people don’t want to hear it but that’s what the whole backdrop is.

The police are handcuffed by weak local politicians. They prohibit them from acting.

WCPD did stop one car and make arrests, better than last time, but overall, a C grade. 108RS

We were just down the street and it was very strange to see. They were very unconcerned a bout the whole thing. They just parked their cars outside and went in and took what they wanted.

That’s exactly what my wife does. Of course, she uses my credit card on the way out, but still…
