Nice clean-looking Piece-of-shit
ReplyDeleteCrime has gotten so casual. I confess: It's pissing me off.
ReplyDeleteThe store was also broken into earlier last week. The glass door was smashed in overnight. Cops were there the following morning to take a report.The store does not have a security gate.
ReplyDeleteWHO IS HE WEARING?
ReplyDeleteThe casual attitude of the criminal is just amazing. Watching the video if he hadn't had a gun it would seem rather like he was asking about the weather. Unreal. Such balls. Glad nobody was hurt.
ReplyDeleteG- Eazy really has fallen from grace, hasn't he..
ReplyDeleteQuaint.
ReplyDeleteOn top of the criminal activity that this shop has to deal with, their landlord is Icon Realty, one of the worst slumlords in the East Village, also criminal activity.
ReplyDeleteIf I read the memo right, this would be considered petty larceny by the new DA, no jail.
