    Not just in Cali. They have been looting train cars in lots of states for a good while now.

    This is not a 'new' thing.

    Yup. It’s been a problem in Chicago for a while. This is from last year I think. It’s getting worse of course and now the railroads are pressuring Soros’s DA to actually prosecute.

    'Cept we are not living in the wild west days any longer and in most places you can't just shoot someone in the face for simple property theft.

    Also would not be surprised if they DO have a part of their local PD assigned to 'train security' (they do in the city where my shop is at). Problem is having enough officers and how much train track there is for them to 'cover'. Every time those trains stop for more than a few minutes the criminals come out. Would cost cities a crap ton of money to hire enough police to secure every inch of track - It is not going to happen.

    Buddy was a union pacific Lieutenant in their securities/law enforcement and those guys are stretched thin. He went to california to help with the thefts and he said sitting on those train cars is long work. As soon as they left to get a break, they came back to a train car full of mexicans stealing tennis shoes. Of course they scattered and only caught a couple. That was years ago before all the shut down on distribution.

    Are these guys just looting unprotected cars? Or is this like the Old West, with armed gangs taking over the trains?

    OH BOY! Didn't you get the memo? Can't say "gang" anymore. "Organized minority group" is the new terminology. Jeez man!

    I saw this earlier, really like Matt Christian's take on it and how f'd California is.
