It's not because nobody is watching. It's because they outnumber anyone who could stop them.
If there was one nearby, I'm sure they would have. You want a wal-mart flash mob?
Here's one last one, but there was no robbery.
If I ever heard or seen my kids do something like that first video the punishment would be until they turn 18, I would take their rooms apart, no doors, no tv, no radio, just a desk and a sleeping bag, I would make them wear $5 sneakers and plain green and yellow shirts and pants to school every day until they graduate, their heads would be shaved bald and not able to participate in any after school sports or dances, EVER!!! Maybe them kids have no parents dissapoint or to punish them, I don't know? That is not how people should act, that is wrong and IMO the local authorities should have taken that very serious, them people should have been hunted down and charged with what ever they could get to stick... If them people have the balls to walk in a store and just loot it like that because there is a lot of them they will do much more and worse in their life....
I have always said if you enter someones home or business with ill intent or uninvited the owner or keeper should be able to use deadly force, now sure them kids don't deserve to die for stealing soda and chips, BUT if they thought there was a chance they get shot, they would have to be pretty thirsty and hungry to take the chance....
I heard a story {I don't know the guy involved personally} but a town over from where my office is some teens {17-19} broke into a fenced commercial yard and were stealing stuff off the owners equipment, they installed fences so they were stealing drills, bolt cutters, tools, ect... Well the owner lived about 3 minutes away, he had a monitor at his house and seen then pull up so headed over there, his wife told him when they cut the fence and she called the cops, he obviously beat the cops there and they were still in the fence so he parked against the gate the cut open and locked them in, then he turned on the yard lights so he could see them... They had a nice pickup truck outside the gate {not sure what kind but it was like a year old}, so they were trying to cut another hole in the fence and hide their faces, lol... The owner of the property decided to destroy their truck, he bashed the windsheilds and all the glass out, smashed the body, popped tires, ripped up the interior, ect... The cops finally showed up and there was an issue... They never took anything off the property, they were only guilty of trespassing/b&e outdoor area so nothing serious but the owner had a ton of charges including malicious michief, destruction of private property, ect. They didn't arrest him but he had to fix the truck...
That didn't surprise me, all of that makes sense to me, he destroyed their vehicle, no matter the reason he did it... BUT what got me was the parents of the kids wanted to sue him because the kids were scared for their lives!!!! They wanted damages more than the vehicle they wanted like $750K for stress related damages because the kids were scarred for life, I am not sure how far it went as I said I didnt know anyone involved, but that IMO is where all these kids come from, @sswhole parents who don't know how to raise kids... Don't get me wrong you can raise your kids and they still do something stupid, BUT when you stick up for them after you are just as wrong as them....
Looting is just wrong, them people should be punished and when you loot you should be risking your life, I can tell you if someone passes my front door with out being invited and I feel threatened for myself or my family they will leave lying down... in a black bag... At my office the same goes, if we are there and someone throws a trashcan through the window and climb through the next person that comes in will be stepping on the first trespassers body...
