The US has a new problem. Mass train robberies. And right on the go. It’s like the days of the Wild West are back.
The Union Pacific, the first railroad across the continent, began the heyday of the American West. Then it was called Wild. Now he began to resemble the third world.
Hollywood is fifteen minutes by car. But it seems that I got into a time machine and immediately found myself either in a dashing past, or in a gloomy future, in the revived scenery of the western and the world of the post-apocalypse. “It looks like a scene from a disaster movie, thousands of parcels are scattered along the railroad tracks,” commentators say.
Those who gutted the boxes hardly shy away from the film crew. And the appearance of a policeman does not really make them tremble before the law.
When there are no law enforcement officers around, looting is what they call in America mass robberies are carried out on an industrial scale. In Chicago, a crowd of African Americans rob a freight train on the go. Young and elderly people, women, girls, even children. Pulling everything out. From tires and electronics, to shoes, clothing and household chemicals. 90 containers are hacked per day in America.
“I’ve been with Union Pacific for 16 years,” says Lupe Valdez, Union Pacific’s director of communications. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a dire situation.”
Over the past year, the number of train robberies in the United States has increased by a fantastic 356 percent.
Los Angeles train robberies have been going on for months now, with a cumulative damage of $5 million over the past year. People do not receive vital things: covid tests, medicines, masks. Robbers don’t care. You won’t sell.
Union Pacific also hired security, and even used drones. Some even get caught sometimes. The arrested person is not nervous: there are no special reasons. The maximum is a night on the bunk, and again at large, unless it is proved that the amount of the stolen exceeds $ 1,000.
“After the arrest, the robbers are released within 24 hours. Hooray,” ironically political commentator Ben Shapiro. “That is, just a day after the arrest, these people return to robbing trains. And they are not some kind of criminal geniuses like Jesse James: ordinary homeless people jump on slow moving trains, open cars with bolt cutters and just rob trains. Being homeless is a matter of human freedoms. It seems that, as usual, the policy of the Democrats is failing on all fronts.”
And – to the very bottom. On the tracks near Skid Row, a well-known neighborhood in Los Angeles, is an American-scale flophouse that attracts thousands of vagrants from all states.
Los Angeles warehouse space is running out, according to reports. Even if the parcel is not stolen, it will not be easy to receive it on time. Warehouses are full. There are traffic jams in ports. As a result – naked American stores, on which a rolling ball.
Shoppers have already experienced a 7 percent rise in inflation over the past year, coupled with traffic jams at America’s biggest ports, emptying shelves in some stores. Food shortages increased by 15 percent. The most elementary things are already missing from the sale.
“I wanted to buy aspirin, and there were only a few ampoules left on the shelves,” says an elderly customer.
For aspirin, at least you can go to another pharmacy. But no one will return the missing parcel. The journalists who photographed the empty box went to the address where it was supposed to be delivered. “I thought that I would receive a package from my daughter, but she never came,” the victim told the film crew. “We were told that she was lost and we put up with it.”
The police did not try to find the culprit. The sheriff, who was shown footage of a professional operating, made big eyes. “Wow, this is something new for me,” he admitted.
Had to leave. There was a crash due to debris on the tracks. There are already first casualties. A couple of Hispanics stealing beer from freight trains crashed their minivan through a warehouse gate while escaping a chase. It all happened in Canada, in the province of Ontario, on the border with the state of New York.
In the largest US city in the Queens area, the absolute record holder for the number of robberies, a certain Isaac Rodriguez, also lived. Rodriguez operated in pharmacies in plain sight. He took everything in a row – from baby formula to body lotions. He was arrested 46 times, released the same number of times, and sent to jail because of his own oversight. Rodriguez forgot that the judge forbade him to appear on the street, where he ended up repeating the theft.
