Thanks to Liberals, CVS Hit with $39,000 in Thefts Every Day, Then Items Show Up Online

As the nation continues its slide toward barbarism, some policies of oh-so-compassionate liberals are creating new forms of criminal activities.
Trace it back to California’s Proposition 47 of 2014, which reclassified felony theft offenses as misdemeanors for items valued at under $950. Such liberalization of shoplifting laws is prompting people to just walk into stores and boldly start carrying things out.
One police chief in a major California city had called Prop 47 a “virtual get-out-of-jail-free card,” according to a 2015 article in The Washington Post.
What’s more, what would appear to be run-of-the-mill shoplifters are bending softening theft laws into major capitalistic enterprises.
As a result, companies like CVS say they’re losing up to $39,000 per day on thefts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
