How long before more stores/restaurants/public places start heavily fortifying their locations with more robust security due to these organize theft rings, mass shootings, etc? I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. Mass shootings have been happening for 20+ years and now organized theft is pretty rampant. I'm surprised more businesses aren't run like nightclubs with security that only allows people in/out.

- cmelbye 4y agoIt's already happening. For the past ~3 years, an Apple store in Portland has been either boarded up or protected by a metal security fence to protect from vandalism and looting. They took it down last month, but evidently expect crime to continue: the expensive glass windows were replaced with cheap, ugly plastic panels that are easy to replace when they are inevitably broken into. https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2023/03/apple-finally-begins-removing-metal-fence-from-downtown-portland-store.html https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2023/03/apple-fina...
