  1. Are they gunna line up all the southern baptist abusers down south.. i bet they don't … even though it will be beneficial. Institutionalised abuse for years uncovered..

  2. There is no way in Gods name, this activist will tell you the country is heading in the wrong direction. 8 out 10 Democrats want nothing to do with this administration. Well, as for our FBI, the nation knows its rotten to the core !

  3. What started all of this?

  4. You can set up any store to where shoplifting is almost impossible. I really don't understand the complete lack of security in many stores, especially like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. It's laughable how easy it is to steal from these places. Heck at Lowe's and Home Depot if you walk out of the store with a high priced item they instruct the employees to not even do anything. It's a joke.

  5. Mmmm don't care about tht wat about crime a gun violence thts going on there now

  6. 700,000 of 1 billion is 0.07% of sales. A problem? Yeah. A big problem? Nah.

  7. 41 public hangings would deter future criminal activity.

  8. I looked this up " pillage describes the act of stripping a conquered city or people of valuables"

  9. Yet the ones who are stealing in for t of cameras today, are walking away with stolen goods and not arrested

  10. How do they not know they are being watched

  11. if this is happening in new york imagine what is happening in california.

  12. Folks we can rest peacefully tonight knowing the police are after shoplifters who steal from multi billion dollar companies. What we do as a society if the police were not here to arrest that guy or gal whole stole a very expensive electronic device, or perhaps a very expensive purse.

  13. That's it? What's so impressive about it? A few million dollars involving dozens of people over multiple years. Doesn't sound like a criminal mastermind. Can't even afford a decent condo with that in NYC. A simple insurance fraud scheme involving a pharmacist and doctor can net way way more. Even a single person falsifying dozens of PPP loans is more impressive. And they don't have to physically rob anything.

  14. When they said " they lose $700 ,000 per billion, it sounded like a lot. Then I did the math, it's only 0.0007% ! Not a huge loss😆😅 the powerful suggestion

  15. All those criminal need to put behind bars for a very long time.

  16. Look at all those white boys, organized, ready to steal. And where are those immigrants, they the republicans say we should be scared of?

  17. So just keep it under $999,999 now.

    17 shipping container-sized bags full of wine, here I come!

  18. 0:29 – I can hear it now : "Breaking News… retail theft leads to world wide cosmetic shortage… [Politician Name Here] … speaks out / breaks his/her silence. Vote for me and I will restore the cosmetics logistics Crisis and protect Women's Right to Look Good…" …

  19. Use the Federal RICO statute on these idiots.

  20. EBay's the biggest thief of all

  21. We're going to have to build more jails.

  22. And then pay them with the program they stole

  23. That's why they are all doing fraud
