A pair of coronavirus looters casually stuffed bags full of merchandise at a San Francisco Walgreens.
Staffers and customers watched as the couple lugged the pilfered products out of the store – and not a single person intervened.
“Pieces of s***,” the person recording the video can be heard saying. “I hope you overdose.”
Critics are blaming California’s “No Arrest” policy when it comes to crimes like shoplifting.
In 2014 the state approved a law that made nonviolent offenses such as shoplifting misdemeanors.
One observer noted there would’ve been a different outcome had he been in the store.
“If I were to witness this, two things would happen: 1) the store would be getting all of their stuff back 2) I would be spending several nights in jail Use your imagination,” the man wrote on Twitter.

A few weeks ago another San Francisco Walgreens was looted by criminals. This is Nancy Pelosi’s America.
