♦ When one of the men used a small sledgehammer to break open the jewelry case, the breaking glass sounded like gunshots.

Those were important distinctions.

The fear that a gunman was on the loose in International Plaza caused the mall to shut down.

The description of the suspects talks about the pickup they left in, but no indication of their race. Would be helpful but of course left out for libtard reasons.

Best description possible!

“Several bipedals smash a case and make off with jewels. Anyone seeing them please report to the police! That is all!”

That’s why they are the mainstream media. Always trying to cover things up they consider racist.

Two things...

The Rolex case I'm sure wasn't just regular glass...probably much thicker and reinforced with a coating...

Most people have never fired a weapon of any kind, so the only gun "noise" they know is from T.V. or movies...

You know: A big bang soundy !!!
