Why were the guards there if they refused to protect property???? Dealership could have saved money and let a Doberman run loose. Need to publish names of Security Guards so nobody else gets stuck with a couple of deadbeats.

Because when I think of luxury cars, it makes me want to buy a watch.

Many high end car dealerships are money laudering operations: Buy a lot in a College town, pay wads of cash for high end cars, sell them to rich kids on financing.

Chinese/middle eastern nationals are famous for this.

Our FBI has bigger fish to fry, like J6 Grandma’s.

Those white supreemists are getting more and more brazen in their villainy. First, they attack poor Juicy Smolliette and now this. Chicago will have to rely on its strong and diverse (but that is redundant) leadership to get through this. Sarcasm.

looking at the video, I see why they did not shoot. Can you imagine what would happen to the white guards who would have had to shoot tyrone in the back as he ran out of the dealership. I sure would not do it in chicongo as much as I’d like to blast them with a flamethrower.

I think this one is “Chicago”

It could be a former employee, but I doubt The dearlership would pull an insurance scam that would draw arttention to the money laudering.

Just wait a few weeks. If someone ends up cut to pieces we will know what was up.

The outfit always operated a tad more ruthless compare to most of the NYC mob. They tended to leave the body out there to make a point to others.

They got to fence this stuff, and that is the problem.

“Now, it’s by appointment only to shop”

Or steal. Maybe metal detectors, x-ray machines and searches at the entrance would be a better idea.

Weak-assed Fox news story. Nothing “reportedly” about two men entering the store and stealing things. The video doesn’t lie. Weak, cowardly Fox reporters do!

It’s Chicago. If a white security guard shot a robber who turned out to be black, it would be lights out for the security guard. There would be no facts that could save him. End of story.

I doubt it.

The more on the inside, the more risk.

More likely: with all the insanity in Chicago, someone saw an opportunity.

Give the all the guards instruction:

Because of the current leadership in Chicago, we have to be especially careful with out use of deadly force.

Only shoot someone if they actually point a weapon at you.

Otherwise, do not provoke a shooting. There are cameras everywhere. We do not want you to go to jail, or the dealership to be sued.

Never, never initiate the use of deadly force, or instigate it.

If you do, we have to throw you to the wolves for violating our safety policy....

Eight watches worth millions? Those be some high end freakin watches!

“the guards were in on it”

A cop or security guard would be in jail if he shot one of these “shoppers”. His family would be attacked. His life completely ruined.

Even if he somehow manages to be fount guilty of murder.
