As the man behind the machine's steering wheel rams the doors of the electronics retailer store, several other people dressed in hoodies cheer him on and film the incident.

It is unclear how much damage was done to the store apart from the mangled doors, as looters melted away when they heard police sirens wailing in the vicinity.
Why the forklift was at the site where the looters grabbed hold of it is also unclear.
An array of other businesses were ransacked by looters in the county on Monday, as nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police last week turned violent and were marred by arson and looting.
Local Walgreens and Walmart stores in the city have not been spared the damage either. The instances of looting and vandalism prompted the local authorities to impose a county-wide curfew starting at 8 pm on Tuesday.

The curfew will stay in place until at least Thursday, with the county officials not ruling out that it might be extended further if police fail to quell the violence.
In one particularly concerning development, police reported that some 50 to 70 guns were stolen from a store in Vacaville, a city just to the north of Fairfield, also in the greater San Francisco Bay Area

" ... In one particularly concerning development, police reported that some 50 to 70 guns were stolen from a store in Vacaville, a city just to the north of Fairfield, also in the greater San Francisco Bay Area ..." Looks like the homies are gonna have a bunch of fun and games in Vacaville. L.W.

Isn't that the forklift that's been used to drop bricks around the area for the rioters in the area.

50-70 handguns stolen at around 3:30 am.
"Officers from the Vacaville Police Department responded to reports of a group of people wearing black pulling into the parking lot of the shop, and when they arrived, they saw that the glass windows were broken.
Morgan told Fox News four out of the eight suspects were caught by police and 13 of the guns have been recovered."

No ethical grounding whatsoever.

Maybe the carpetbaggers need to try reconstruction, this time in the North. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
