Crime in America: "Worse than Afghanistan".

When is this crime wave ever going to end?  Never -- unless there are consequences for the brazen thieves. "Immigrant store owner begs San Francisco for help after losing $100K to burglars: 'Worse than Afghanistan'"

This store owner is one of the many innocent victims just trying to make an honest living, and he has summed up the problem perfectly:

"'The politicians need to get a grip on this because It’s worse than Afghanistan or Iraq,' Zaid, co-owner of Cigarettes R Cheaper in San Francisco’s Richmond District, told Fox News Digital. He was referring to crime in the city following a robbery Tuesday night, when a half dozen thieves smashed his windows and made off with about $80,000 in merchandise and $20,000 in cash.

"'At least in Afghanistan the Taliban will cut your hand off and people are afraid to commit such a crime,' Zaid said, adding that he sees people stealing from nearby stores every day. "

Where are the lawmakers? Why isn't the government ensuring that we have the money to hire more cops, more security guards, and special crime squads?  Instead, thugs like these thieves know they can steal with impunity, because nobody's going to stop them, excuses are made for them, and prosecutors won't throw the book at them.  Where are the rights of honest Americans to go about their day safely? "Tough on crime" is now just a meaningless phrase, and the criminals know it.
