Surely most of us have seen videos of mobs of youths shoplifting/looting stores in broad daylight. This isn't individuals shoplifiting covertly or even breaking in under cover of darkness. It appears to be a new and more openly lawless kind of theft, and those involved are surely aware that the risk is minimal? And the footage spreading on social media will be likely be encouraging copycat groups to do the same, or escalate to even more brazen activity. (What's hard to tell, as somebody not in the affected areas, is how widespread this kind of crime is. Social media will always spread the most shocking footage to a large audience, but it can often be falsely labelled, potentally old footage from elsewhere, dishonestly edited, shared by people with agendas, etc)
