Trump has offered an old-school solution to the out-of-control theft and looting going on right out in the open in cities across America: Shoot the thieves.

"We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply: if you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store. SHOT!"

Here's what he said just before that line, for fuller context:

"You know, these people are killing people, when they go into the stores. You'll have 300 young people, who are not looking for a good future, walk into a big department store and just pillage it. And if you happen to be there, they'll knock the hell out of you, and kill you in some cases."

Crime is out of control in American cities. The Trump solution?
