You no doubt have seen “The Video.” A man, in broad daylight, brazenly empties the shelves of a San Francisco Walgreens and casually walks out without any intervention from a nearby guard.
The lawlessness, the complete lack of societal breakdown. A shocking sight that offends the basic notions of law and order.
When I say you’ve no doubt seen the video, I am absolutely confident you have, because a recent analysis by the media watchdog FAIR found that the video taken by ABC7’s Lyanne Melendez garnered over 300 articles of media coverage and millions of clicks, from the United Kingdom to Mexico to France.
