Unless they got more than $950, you SOL, Senator.

Sorry, Charlie.

She must have had her phone in her hand. (I keep mine in my purse.) Situational awareness fail.

If the thief had pushed her down, it could have been really bad. Looks like she was just startled.

Will this get something through someone’s thick skull? 80 year old woman, on a summer afternoon, can’t even walk down the street. I assume this is a decent area. I know where these assualts are often taking place in NYC, right where I grew up. A decent area.

Jack London Square used to be a fine area of shops, restaurants and bars. It was a pretty good place for folks of all ages to hang out.

But this is Karma. The dems are getting exactly what they asked for.

Agreed. Why was this even published? No crime seems to have occurred.

The old saw is that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. Somehow, though, I’m not expecting Babs to swing right after this incident. Shame, though, when a limousine liberal’s soft-on-crime policies come home to roost... and knock you on your ass and steal your phone.
