CA Democrats Voted Against Stopping Child-sex Trafficking....Now They Want To Make It A Crime To Prevent Looting

[mudwhistle]

CA Democrats want to make it a crime to prevent crimes.
They're hiding it in workplace violence bill, but the law prohibits employers from risking the safety of employees. It's particularly concerned with employers who allow their employees to stop looters from robbing them blind. Now the law says that an employer cannot tell his employees to attempt to do anything that may be a hazard to their health. That includes looters and active-shooters.

The California bill, if enacted in law, would require employers to provide active-shooter training to workers, keep a log of any violent incidents, and allow companies to apply for workplace violence restraining orders.

SB 553 is not targeted at—and does not affect—trained security guards. In fact, the bill highlights the need for dedicated safety personnel.

But Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retailers Association, told Fox 2/KTVU: "This bill goes way too far, number one, where I think it will open the doors even wider for people to come in and steal from our stores."

Bill to stop employees confronting shoplifters passed by California Senate

The proposed law is designed to protect store workers from violence, but retailers have slammed the move as an invitation to thieves "to come in and steal."

I've stopped believing that those doing this are insane. I think it's much deeper than that. It's a manifestation of real evil.

They are trying their best to run law abiding citizens to leave.

Wow. Are you saying that the Demwits of California are turning that beautiful state into a shithole? Oh, who am I kidding ... of course they are!

Daily observation.
High crime rates are one of the symptoms of Progressive dystopia.
The Corrupt Democrat Party destroys cities and states with their backwards culture and failed left wing economics.

Retailers say shoplifting is a $100B problem. Not everyone is convinced.

Major brick-and-mortar stores claim a surge in theft is dramatically hurting their bottom lines, but skeptics say the numbers used to make that case don't add up.

I was reading the bill....and it's the most convoluted mess I've ever seen.
It makes no sense.
The main thing I saw was that it required employers to conduct training with their employees and that they must keep records of the training.

It's like the nonsense they made us do when I was working for the government....only now they're requiring small businesses to do it or suffer fines and other penalties.

These are the extremist Democrats who George Soros got elected.
soft on crime and hard on the taxpayers

This reminds me of the ACA. The original document was a set number of pages....but the implementation resulted in a stack of documents over 6 feet high.
You need to hire a lawyer just to read the POS, and it's way too easy to not follow the rules set forth in the directives.
It's like the tax code.
An absolute nightmare.

This is what happens when you put communists in charge of government.

Translated: Gavin Newsom will run for president and wants to have "something" good on his record. He "did something."

I figure it's a better than even chance it gets vetoed by Newsome since he will likely be running in a dem open primary after Tater LBJs himself.

It's just not possible to fathom how stupid these people are.

l disagree, they are no more extreme than the every day average democrat, all in favor of criminal rights

What's worse is most of them don't understand the law themselves.
They're just told to vote yes and let the lawyers deal with the rest.

Seems to me this is a great opportunity to shutter thousands of small businesses.

It's better than a pandemic.

California continues to work wonders to attract retailers. Amazing.

Retail drug dealer and human traffickers.

Glad I moved after the Rodney King riots. They were BLM before BLM was cool.

Go GOP, Go Plop

Or try to replace them with greedy plutocrats.

Democrats = WEF

These policies are attacks on America and Americans.

Thread Locked as linked article plainly says "The bill does not prohibit employees from stopping theft." And the claim is not supported by any reading of Bill Text - SB-553 Occupational safety: workplace violence: restraining orders and workplace violence prevention plan.
