Beverly Hills boarding up, closing down

[Baclava]

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Businesses along Rodeo Drive and the Business Triangle were seen boarding up their windows Friday morning in anticipation of possible election violence and unrest, and Beverly Hills police are on high alert.

The Beverly Hills Police Department announced earlier this week that they are closing down Rodeo Drive to cars and pedestrians, from South Santa Monica Boulevard to Wilshire Boulevard, from Monday at 11:59 p.m. to Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.

The city is contracting with Santa Paula Police Department, private security firms, hiring five more officers, and several other proactive security measures ahead of the election

1. Are people gonna loot because Trump lost or Biden won?

[Baclava]

3. Sounds like, both

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. Neither, they'll loot because there's stuff for the taking. Nice stuff, on Rodeo Dr.

If they can use a large demonstration as cover and diversion, looting becomes easier. And it's probably more profitable on Rodeo Dr than on some random street in Philadelphia.

13. This, the looting isn't political. Its opportunistic thieves using political unrest as cover

which means they're probably going to be out and active either way.

2. I don't like this at all....

Someone posted a map a while ago about where mail sorting machine were being messed with....SF Bay Area and LA looked to be heavily targeted. With what we're seeing of the clogged mail sorting centers in FL, this is one of those things that make you go hmmmm....

4. Not Sure What They Would Be Messing With In CA

Biden is predicted to win here by something like 35 points.

5. District races....

Don't forget, that's where Schiff and Pelosi are from, and Trump is very vindictive....

Just sayin'....

[sfstaxprep]

10. Maybe So

If they go after District races, they're not going after Schiff or Pelosi. Both will win easily. Won't even be remotely close for either.

6. Is that the truck that scoops people up and hauls them to the Soylent Green factory?

[Baclava]

7. I'm gonna say......yes

[winstars]

9. "Soylent Green is people!!!!!"

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. It sure looks like it

8. A real shame that people think loot in is some kind of answer.

I don’t agree.

[Klaralven]

14. Windows at street level on commercial buildings is a really bad idea.

Blank walls with man-trap entry ways are the future.

15. You may be correct, everyone is putting up hurricane shutters, storms 'acomin

Shops in downtown San Francisco boarding up ahead of election

Downtown San Francisco storefronts are boarding up ahead of Election Day in anticipation of looting and rioting.

Buildings along Market Street, from the Salesforce Tower to San Francisco Centre, are covered in massive pieces of plywood.

On Friday afternoon, Macy's on Union Square was already fully covered and a crew was working on Neiman Marcus.
