You are going to go bankrupt building jails if you lock up every single shoplifter. A lot of states are having to close down prisons because they are causing budget deficits. Even red states.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” Isaiah 5:20. Have family who lives in california and the rampant crime is beyond belief. Keep the left OUT OF FLORIDA

@@mambi74 you are willing to pay 60,000$ in taxes to lock someone up for stealing a 5$ stick of deodorant? I can see locking up repeat shoplifters, but if you lock all of them up you are going to go broke real quick.

Meanwhile, Florida, per capita intentional homicide rate is HIGHER than California. The same is the case for rape. A look at retail theft loss statistics, per capita, and you'll quickly learn that Florida is also worse than California in that department. DeSantis is a clown.

That's part of the plan in Dem run cities. Those cities will fall first. Not punishing criminals grows crime.

You are right - this is NOT right. And it is organized crime. Worse IMO is that people knowingly feel entitled to buy stolen goods. (I've seen this - totally shocked me who all had no problem having someone shoplift-ft for them. Generally, substances are the root problem.)

Squatter’s right used to make sense. People would abandon their property so it’s free. Now every house is owned by somebody and or is given to someone next to kin. The law is from Britain 1400s. Than the settlers came with it. Basically for people to claim land and build homes without needing to buy land. So it had its time and place. Settlers is just a nice way of saying squatters. But basically all land is owned. Just doesn’t really makes sense now.

@@bewareofsasquatch Well stated. Unless American history is studied, for migrants a big piece of this puzzle has been omitted. And ignorance of the law is no excuse.

California won't do anything because politicians and their companies make money off federal funding to "help" and they just pocket the money. It's a black hole of good meaning money going into the pockets of your elected officials

Unfortunately, you’re stuck with Newsome. You’re not going to get common sense laws until you get rid of him.

This is the problem. People fleeing Democratic run States will vote in the new States having no idea that the Democrats destroyed their original State. Hopefully people are rising up to how the Left is destroying the quality of life of normal everyday Americans.

Sos = stuck on stupid

Voting based upon words from a candidate is a feelings trap, the side doesn't matter. Look around and vote with your ears, eyes, and wallet.

As a Floridian its truly amazing. Cote for someone who isnt on the side of criminals. Imagine if they had a Grady Judd out there yall wouldnt be coming down here! “ Papa Desantis” as we call him also just passed an anti squatter bill!!!! Last week! Whats not to love!! Why is this controversial????

Maybe the polls are rigged. Seems crazy to vote the same politicians in with how things are in SF.

If people don't know or understand the Cloward & Piven strategy it is impossible for them to understand what democrats are doing.

Don’t hold your breath for NY

The voters have to want it for a politician to enact it.

It could’ve been if the Republicans had wanted DeSantis instead of Trump, who only cares about himself and his money

& It will be, soon! 😀

Oh, it will stop. It's just to bad it will stop because there will be no shops to steal from in commiefornia or new yuck.

It’s not gonna stop. Theft has already been illegal and you can pass all the laws you want, and this will continue.

@@underground9260especially as corporations continue to price gouge. Dont get me wrong, a lot (if not most) of this is just criminals being criminals, but when the cost of necessities doubles over a year and a half with no corresponding change to wages, theft becomes some people’s only option to get what they need. Doesnt make it okay, but it’s the reality

@@underground9260 it will not continue on in FL like it does in NY or CA. Bad policy created this and bad policies continue to nourish it

Hell no….he thought he could turn the entire U.S. to follow Florida laws he created….thats one reason why he failed as a candidate for presidency 😂

@@cojack424as a Florida resident i can say for sure you are wrong about everything. Trump got the nomination because the corrupt agencies conspired against him and put him and his family through hell. So trump deserves the job- and revenge. For now. 2028 Ron can be president. Every day more and more people from blue states come here because it is better governed and a better place to live. That is not debated by anyone.

Same thing happened to me, but it wasn’t my first time, it was the first time I got caught. I was more afraid of my mom being called than the loss prevention team( I thought they were cops at the time). I felt so much shame when my mother showed up after working a full shift at a job she hated, picked up my sister from school, then had to come home to hear this and walk to the mall where I was apprehended. She wasn’t mad at me, but the tears in her eyes broke me. We prayed on it, and I never looked back. I often wonder what I would’ve become if I never got caught.

If both of you kind gentlemen don't mind me asking you this, what circumstances made you shoplift? Was it poverty, was it because your friends did it or was it just out of fun? Here in france we hear that if someone steals goods worth less than 800$, the shop owner doesnt bother going to the cops or as reporting it costs more?

As a 4 or 5 year old my grandma smacked and scolded me for taking a toy 🫡 love you grandma

Walmart used to have a walk of shame by police officers all around the store, if the shop lifters agrees to that then no police charges. Not sure if they still have that program.

@terryschnereger8531 Yes! Your statement is right on target. Too bad any of us have to say that we learned our lesson at an impressionable age.

@@TheAlreadybeentakenyour saying that you have not stopped stealing from stores because of the laws?

They are policing pronouns

@@TheAlreadybeentaken they were just signed. Changes don't happen immediately.

elections coming soon. put up a front.

Common sense is making the punishment fit the crime. And I support that. If you break the law you should be held accountable. This isn’t about accountability. To the best of my knowledge this law doesn’t change what is defined as theft. All it does is make people go to jail longer and pay bigger fines. For example stealing a $40 item now makes you a felon. If that is what you think fits the crime, then cool. I personally don’t think so. Also if common sense is your thing why does he cite California crime stats, and also say Florida theft is going down, to justify this law? There’s no common sense connection there.

Common sense and rightwingers are like oil and water.

@@FG-bu3jp lol I agree when it comes to maga

CA Newsome can't even manage a small subway sandwich shop.

Exactly the Reptile is super crooked in California which I live in such a disgrace

Please run for governor in California 🙏

CA problems and Florida problems are different. Wealth disparity is IMO the biggest problem in CA leading to crime. Everything in CA is more expensive because CA makes a lot of money. People just trying to get by have a harder time in CA than in Florida and more people resort to crime. Trying to use laws to solve every problem leads to jails overflowing. I am not saying that CA should go easy on crime, I am saying it is not as easy as saying we are just going to be harder legally on crime. Higher fines and more jail time just make the desperate people more desperate and means more tax money needs to be spent taking care of them while in jail. As Florida becomes more prosperous which they clearly are, congrats to them, I wonder how they are going to deal with the problems of wealth disparity and overcrowding jails.

Gets the job done? Lol 😂😂😂 They have the same problems as other states that's why they are just now passing these laws. GTFO

Check out the rental mall flash mobs that have gone down. It is a disaster.

I live in FL, and my sibling lives in Oregon, so I know exactly what you're talking about. While Oregon has spectacular natural beauty (coast, Cascades), I could never live there.

Looks like you guys are going to have to start fending for yourself over there

No chance California will adopt this law... Unfortunately, we have Democrats in charge of California and Democrats love criminals.

But prop 47 was approved by the voters. Wonder what that says about the voters.

@@chrisman714368we basically already do or you just don’t survive.

@@andreimitrica77 go take your meds, you're having an episode

Small businesses are the worst. We need to steal from them first.

... Before we start talking "accountability" for stealing... Might wanna take a look at all the corporate fraud, tax evasion, and other white collar theft... Poor people stealing tens of dollars worth of stuff, while there's people stealing millions... Or we can look at the trillions the military complex takes in for bloated contracts to funnel tax payers' money into the hands of politicians and board members... But yeah, let's start with protecting the corporations from the poor people, not the poor people from all those they make sure they have to resort to petty crime to survive.

Maybe lower inflation that might help

@@Thedevilswheelthe whole “don’t steal” thing is not really a conditional offer.

😂 CEOs make more in a week than the poor can steal in a month.

@@Thedevilswheeland stealing lowers that how? Just makes things worse.

We need to challenge our state legislators in the other 49 states to pass similar legislation! Then and only then will we begin to see this shoplifting and porch pirating epidemic diminish. When punishments become severe enough these criminals will make that tough decision to cease and desist‼️

many states do not prosecute the thieves....

Please do basic research on what this aims to accomplish, vs its current state... I also have hard hearing and ADHD, but he also mentions that if you are a repeat offender, you will deal with higher consequences.

My suggestion : Don't try to understand liberal logic. It just never makes sense. Why they think allowing people to rob stores will stop crime is beyond me.

@@ChrisW-fj8bt Anybody who does not fully understand the end goal of democrat's Cloward & Piven strategy to create as much chaos as possible to collapse the system, cannot possible comprehend what democrats are doing.

It's always been illegal, yes. But, it makes thieves and criminals pay a higher price for their crimes. Repeat offenders will face more felonies which will give them more time in prison. It also holds DA's accountable unlike NY, Chicago, and LA

I'm not generally a fan of DeSantis on some topics... but his actually enacting stuff that's common sense (or should be) is refreshing.

That's not why he's not the nominee. It's because we have too many people obsessed with, and WORSHIPING, Trump.
