At a time, because thanks to Brad Pitt and his Hollywood brethren and the Democrats led by Gavin Newsom, the thief can go to the store next door and steal up to $950 and still not commit a felony. That’s why we see people on bicycles going through drug stores stealing less than $950 at a time.

The laws have been changed to protect the criminal, not the victims and people that live in tough neighborhoods. Like everything else in California, the attitude of elected officials and Hollywood elites has put the right of the criminals above the victim’s rights.

There were real consequences to criminal behavior. If you violated the law, it meant jail time.
