50 juveniles ransack 7-Eleven in Los Angeles

[jimfields33]

I actually feel sorry for storeowners. All they want to do is make a living. It doesn’t help the residents of the area or anybody buying at any 7-11 in the country as prices will go up. This is unacceptable. Sorry but it is.

About 50 juveniles ransacked a 7-Eleven in Los Angeles on Friday night, the LAPD confirmed.

The department said officers received a call around 7:25 p.m. that about 50 kids biked to the 7-Eleven located on the border of Beverly Hills at 8500 W Olympic Blvd. and stole items from the store.

The underage suspects fled the scene on their bikes before officers arrived.

An Instagram account named Street People of Beverly Hills posted videos that show the crowd of minors biking into the parking lot, running inside and escaping with their hands and pockets full of snacks and other items.

1. Just the logical extension of: 'When you're a star, they let you do it'

Combined with the reality that too many parents don't actually parent their offsprings.

When consequences don't happen, bad behavior will happen all too often.

9. Now, now. Let's be nice.

Pizza delivery van is in your neighborhood...it's your lucky day!!!

20. Rats! Whad I miss? Message me if you would

[niyad]

26. Damn!!! Did I miss another troll, or was it one of our regulars?

[BoRaGard]

10. Yup. The republicon Role-Model-in-Chief has made lying, cheating, stealing, adultery seem cool

A whole generation of kids is growing up with these perverted republicon values.

2. Happens a lot. I think aocial media allows for coirdinating in a way not possible before internet

[Wounded Bear]

5. Yeah, sick new version of a flash mob...

[Liberal In Texas]

38. I guarantee this was a result of a social media incitement.

It's to bad they can't figure out who started this plan to organize a crime mob and do a high profile arrest to discourage copy-cats.

The reporter on the video says this is the second time the store was hit, last time was in August.

3. I guess it is too early for senior skip day antics

Nonetheless, I am willing to bet this was a prank and not a signal of bad things to come.

Crime is significantly down in LA.

[choie]

29. Are you kidding?

Are we now normalizing criminal behavior?

[Tweedy]

33. No.

Crime is significantly down in Los Angeles.
Teenagers occasionally do stupid things.

4. Video

14. By the way they're dressed, summer is over?

[dpibel]

6. "This is unacceptable. Sorry, but it is."

Who are you arguing with?

Do you think there's someone around here who's going to spring to the defense of the hooligans?

Do you think there's some group hereabouts who "actually" doesn't feel sorry for the storeowners?

As ever, admire your work!

[TheKentuckian]

12. It would be a different tone if those fucking around had to do any finding out is probably what was being "argued" with.

If the owner defended their property and ability to make a living they most likely would be bitterly reviled and the excuses would flow for the hooligans.

[dpibel]

13. The life of the 2nd Amendment purist

It's a rough and bitter one.

Here, however, you're operating with at least two levels of hypothesis: (1) What the OP intended and (2) What would happen if the circumstances were different.

That's some admirable clairvoyance.

[peggysue2]

7. Reminds me of the smash and grab incidents they had in Philly

Although those kids (young adults) went for the high-priced items.

[senseandsensibility]

11. I don't understand the point of this OP

Unless there is someone on DU who has defended smash and grab shoplifting, isn't it obvious that this is against the law? Has anyone that would like to mention said that this was justified?

[dpibel]

22. It's a puzzler, isn't it?

I'd previously overlooked the amazing artfulness of "it doesn't help the residents of the area."

Because, like, everyone but this brave OP is talking about how kids stealing from a 7-11 totally helps the residents of the area.

I believe the OP may be up for some sort of award for the highest density of straw men in 100 words ever.

34. Thank you

[Iggo]

15. Kids are stupid. (n/t)

[choie]

30. This is more than stupidity

n/t

[Iggo]

35. It's never just that. But it is that.

[JI7]

31. This is beyond just being stupid

[Iggo]

36. It's never just that. But it is that.

Also, watch out for those caravans.

[Trueblue1968]

16. If i had the power ..... I would out everyone of them in jail for 25 years. I am so sick if violence and crime.

Throw them all in the slammer. They won't be able to do crime for decades.

I am sorry for sounding so hateful people but crime is HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!

cry ..... Cry ..... Cry.

[Beringia]

18. I am wishing they get found out and arrested, Poor store owners

[Prairie Gates]

19. Oh, are we at this stage of election panic?

Caravan incoming!

[dpibel]

21. Maybe DJT will take out a full page ad in the NYT

demanding the death penalty for this horrible crime.

[haele]

23. Doubt it, those kids looked pretty pale, if you know what I mean

I'll bet their relatives will claim it was just some homecoming hijinks by the chess club...

24. "Flash-mob" ? sounds like it.

No, this is not good, and I share concern for any small-business owners who are victimized by such crimes.


I would feel better about it if they targeted large corporate businesses who support Republicans,
or Republican party headquarters buildings themselves--
but they would probably find little to eat there.

[Sky Jewels]

25. It looks like almost all or all males.

Gee, big surprise

[dpibel]

27. Any help?

Very easy questions, asked by me or others, that should be no problem for you to help us understand:

1. Do you think there is anyone here who does not "actually" feel sorry for [the] storeowners?

2. Do you think someone is arguing that this helps the residents of the area?

3. Do you think someone here believes that this will help anybody buying at a 7-11 in the country?

4. Do you think there's a person you're addressing here who thinks this is perfectly acceptable?

You're a deep thinker! Maybe too deep for the rest of us!!!

Can you help us understand?

Performance art requires at least a small connection with reality, I think. Do you disagree?

[Patton French]

28. If there was and equity in this country

We’d see a lot les of this sort of thing.

32. Well I knew who to put on full ignore by the end of this thread. Hint: It wasn't the original poster.
