Though the so-called “experts” suggest people shouldn’t call flash mob looting “looting” because it’s allegedly only used to describe “people of color or urban dwellers” who are engaging in such behavior (it’s not), that is indeed exactly what’s been happening at an elevated level especially in states like California over the last couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, things took violent and deadly turns last week when security guard Kevin Nishita, who was providing armed security for KRON4 on behalf of Star Protection Agency, was shot Wednesday as an assailant(s) tried to steal the news crew’s equipment while they were filming from the scene of a prior flash mob looting incident in downtown Oakland. Sadly, Nishita died early Saturday morning:
The victim is Kevin Nishita. He leaves behind a wife, two children and three grandchildren. Nishita worked as an armed guard for Star Protection Agency.Prior to working as a guard, he served as a police officer at the Oakland Housing Authority, Hayward Police, San Jose Police, and the Colma Police departments.A reward of $32,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
Understandably, KRON4 reporters were devastated as were law enforcement officers who Nishita worked with in the past:
The Oakland police department has released a photo of the alleged vehicle involved in the shooting, which they hope will help them catch the killer:
Here’s a KRON4 news report on Nishita’s death as well as information about the car police are searching for:
In another violent incident, a security guard was assaulted Wednesday after a flash mob of looters crashed a Nordstrom’s department store at Topanga Mall in Los Angeles:
The attack happened around 6:45 p.m. when a group of five suspects committed a smash-and-grab at the Nordstrom store and ran out with items that included about 7-8 expensive purses. At least one of the suspects was described as wearing an orange wig.They assaulted and used bear spray on a security guard during the robbery, police say. The security guard was treated by paramedics and is expected to be OK.The suspects fled in a newer model gray Ford Mustang.
Here’s the report CNN filed on that incident and several others that have taken place in California:
In another disturbing incident, looters crashed a Home Depot in Lakewood, Ca. Friday and stole items that could potentially be used in other “smash and grab” robberies, like hammers, sledgehammers, and crowbars.
Two Best Buys near Minneapolis were also ransacked by flash mob looters on Friday.
The incidents are too numerous to mention in one piece but they all have one common denominator: The vast majority are happening in Democrat-run cities/states. In California in particular, some are blaming the spike in crimes involving “smash and grabs,” other robberies as well as the rise car break-ins on “woke” District Attorneys who tend to take lenient approaches towards the accused/convicted that other prosecutors have acknowledged have only led to more crimes and more victims.
