WATCH: Eight Alleged Armed Robbers Flee Jewelry Store When Owner Appears with Shotgun
Breitbart ^ | 04/12/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 04/12/2024 7:14:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Eight allegedly armed jewelry store robbers fled Oakland’s Phuong Jewelry Wednesday after the 76-year-old owner emerged from the back of the store holding a shotgun.

ABC 7 reported the attempted robbery occurred in broad daylight, around 12:30 p.m.

Phuong Jewelry is family owned and the 69-year-old mother was working at the time of the allegedly robbery.

ABC 7 noted: “Surveillance shows 69-year old mother Diane ducking for cover and screaming for help as those eight individuals smash nearly every single case and ransack the shop. With no security guard on duty at the time, Diane’s 76-year-old husband comes storming in wielding a firearm which scares the suspects away.”

A jewelery store in Oakland...parachuting in to the middle of Kiev might be less dangerous.

A little slow on response. She should’ve had the shotgun under the counter.

I was going to say, has the owner been arrested yet?

Not just for "Possession."

Also for "Assault with a Deadly Weapon," "Terroristic Threat," and - to top things off - they will probably all be upgraded to "Hate Crimes" because the thieves were of a certain, um... background.

Of course the first questions on anyone’s mind would be, was the gun registered, did he have a license to possess it, was it a compliant gun, what was the ammi capacity, was it properly and safely stored, was he using environmentally safe ammo, what training certifications has he cimpleted and are they current, and, of course, does he possess any othe guns, ammo, or accessories that could possibly violate any of California’s numerous laws? Clearly a SWAT raid at 0-dark thirty is immediately indicated to tear his store, dwelling(s), and vehicle(s) to shreds in an attempt to answer these last questions, billing him for this service. Because California, and gun safety, and stuff.

Weird how that the evil gun didn’t go berserk and kill everyone in the store including the owner. The perps musta run off fearing g that at any second the gun could go mental and go off on a firi g spree all on its own.

A shot gun was Biden’s promoted weapon for home defense. I hope it was that Bullpup model, that every business owner should have on hand, just in case. https://www.greentophuntfish.com/media/catalog/product/cache/0e2ae33c8b407b2d02bb5419e3118aef/1/2/128364_large.jpg

It probably took that long to open the safe, find the gun and the ammo that was stored separately (for safety) and load the gun.
The robbers were almost done by the time the owner came out.

Allegedly is a word that is used way too often, like weird and bizarre.
