California, never to be outdone for stupidity, has freed most of those LA area store looters thanks to state law.

" Police in Los Angeles have announced 14 arrests in connection with 11 recent smash-and-grab robberies at stores where nearly $340,000 worth of merchandise was stolen, but all the suspects have been released."
" At a joint news conference on Thursday announcing the arrests, both Moore and Mayor Eric Garcetti called for an end to a no-bail policy for some defendants aimed at reducing overcrowding at Los Angeles County jails during the coronavirus pandemic."
"Garcetti said with the pandemic easing, it's time to make room again in lockups for criminals who commit violent acts and put store employees in danger. "
" Security experts and officials agree that organized crime networks are responsible for many of the large-scale 'smash-and-grab' retail thefts, with syndicates recruiting young, low-level crooks and paying them $500 to $1,000 to steal specific items for resale online. "
"In one case, federal prosecutors said 70-year-old Robert Whitley, from Atlanta, hired recovering drug addicts to steal more than 140,000 items from stores like Target, CVS and Publix, which he then resold on Amazon, netting $3.5 million in profit, reported The New York Times."
