WALNUT CREEK, CA – On the evening of November 20th, a group of approximately 80 thieves donning ski masks and brandishing crowbars looted a Nordstrom in Walnut Creek.
Witnesses said that dozens of suspects had stormed the Bay Area Nordstrom around 8:46 p.m. At the same time, the outlet was still open for business and loaded approximately 25 vehicles staged outside the store up with stolen goods.
The thievery, which can be best described as a flash mob-style of looting, was commenced in under a minute. Local reports regarding the incident noted that three Nordstrom employees were injured as a result of the massive looting.
Video of the suspects fleeing the store and loading up the various vehicles were captured, shedding light on just how quickly the incident unfolded.
While a majority of the suspects were able to flee the scene, authorities did take into custody three suspects believed to be part of the heist – with at least two of the suspects being taken into custody at gunpoint.

What Leftist policies wrought day 1
No biggie…Just Christmas shoppin’ in da hood.
And stealing is supposed to accomplish what? Your freedoms are being stripped away and you steal a suitcase? A watch? Sneakers? A high-end Tshirt? Are you kidding me?
So your liberalism comes back to bite you in the ass. Karma. Suck it up snowflakes.
We can only hope that major stores like Nordstrom learn something from this robbery. Past experience with them would suggest they will learn NOTHING, and whilst inside these stores their “customers” are more exposed to violence than in any small family-run outfit.
When courts starts punishing black criminals as they should be maybe some of this criminal activity will stop. After all what blacks are belly aching about was started way over 200 years ago by fellow negro african’s selling them into slavery!! But 1619 didn’t say anything about that so?????
