KING COUNTY, Wash. - A gas station cashier in Normandy Park is recovering after a relentless assault Friday night.

"I mean, my face hurts. But my pride I think hurts more." Leah Johnston said.

The Seattle woman can be seen on security footage suffering blow after blow, from a single suspect, as five others rob the Friendly Normandy Market of cash and handfuls of merchandise from the cigarette case.

There was less than $100 in the till.

Police describe the suspects as young, driving a stolen Kia and Hyundai—both cars were later recovered.

"Kids don’t seem to fear anything anymore," Johnston said. "There’s like, no repercussions for them the way there used to be."

The attack, which lasted roughly 25 seconds, ended with Johnston on the floor, enduring kicks from her assailant.

"They were laughing. They had no [regard] for anything. They don’t care anymore," said Johnston.

Normandy Park Police Chief Dan Yourkoski tells FOX 13 News a special unit of the King County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to assist in the investigation.

Police continue their search for six suspects, some believed to be teenagers. Police do not believe a weapon was used in the attack.

"I know of people who have been robbed, I know in the back of my mind it can always happen. But, I never thought that I would be attacked the way I was attacked." Johnston said. "I wasn’t prepared."

Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for info on the suspects. Text anonymous tips through the P3 Tips App or at P3Tips.com.

“Hard labor”

Agreed—these young thugs have lots of excess energy—put it to work—agricultural labor is a great way to burn it off...and then they can earn their keep.

There is no accountability in Washington DC either so that sets the tone for the rest of the country.

Our feral “strength” has turned this country into the jungles of Africa and the streets of Mogadishu. Feral animals shooting each other in schools and Friday Night Football Game parking lots. Lawlessness is what they’ve been taught.

A better solution would be to send the thugs to a penal colony for life.

One better...

Subdue, drag outside, summarily execute, put up "Caution Wet Floor" sign until the meat wagon takes away the trash.

The best solution is on the spot execution. It’s cheap, effective and sends a message. When a majority of Americans want to be American again we can talk about a more civilized form of justice.

“I wasn’t prepared.”

There’s a lesson in there.

Somewhere.

The more the government schools institutions and corporations teach hate and racism, the more violent and frequent the attacks against whites will become, with some spilling over onto orientals.

During the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya, mobs were unleashed to rape, kill and terrorize white colonialists. The black crime wave sweeping America is much the same as the Mau Mau uprising. I bet the violence against whites will escalate until there is a violent backlash.

> Things are changing—for the worse—fast. <

Yep. I live in a Democrat county. Our long-time District Attorney is a Democrat (you’ve got to be a Democrat to get elected here). But the guy’s okay.

He was beaten in the 2023 Democrat primary by a “progressive” Soros-funded candidate. (I’m not just guessing here. I looked it up. He had big Soros money behind him.)

So we’re getting a Soros DA. He has said many times that urban youth are treated too harshly by the justice system. Things will change here. And as you noted, for the worse.

My dad told me the story of the, “Once in a Lifetime MFer” when I was about 16. He said, “You can walk around all tough and stuff, getting into fights, but one of these days you’re going to walk into a Once in a Lifetime MFer who is going to clean your clock. That’s the dude who is meaner than you by a country mile and will flat stomp the sh!t outta you and not even blink because he just don’t care. Doesn’t care if he kills you. Doesn’t care if he takes a father away from his kids. Doesn’t care if he gets arrested and has to do time in the joint. He just doesn’t care.” I heeded his wisdom. Now days though, that Once in a Lifetime thing is getting statistically larger. They aren’t once in a lifetime anymore. They’re everywhere and it’s because of what the lady in the article said. They don’t care because there are no repercussions.

A ten years long hood rat problem down the street from me just ended this morning with US Marshalls in six big SUV’s hauling his a$$ off. The county does that every few months, but the judges just turn him loose. Now we will see what happens when the feds haul off a hood-rat? He’s been breaking into rail cars for ten years now, selling all the stuff right out of his garage, chopping stolen cars, etc...

Accountability can reduce bad behavior. No accountability allows bad behavior to grow.

I always get a cringe when I see posts like this blaming the voters. the state of Washington hasn't had a fair election in many decades. The voting system is rigged.

and to top it off "republican" politicians are no better than democrat politicians.

the only difference between repub and dem politicians is the sales pitch . Many repub politicians are just pretending to be conservative to fill a vacant spot , ( like Lauren Boebert of CO or Mit Romney for example ),
