In case people missed it - California shifted to the right as well

[Sympthsical]

22. I've told this story before

But at my local Safeway, there was a guy who would come in weekly. He'd grab a cart, put in two cases of beer, and walk out. The employees were instructed not to stop him (for liability reasons) and the police wouldn't arrive before he left.

So he just kept doing it. And everyone knew what was happening when he arrived. Then it started snowballing.

But let me tell you, the second an armed robbery happened at the Chase atm near that Safeway, my neighbors went ballistic. These are the affluent suburbanite portion of the city. They had the chief of police standing in a Costco parking lot at night in the windy cold while they screamed their heads off at him.

And then a police substation was installed across from Safeway, and that was that.

People have their breaking points.
