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.

Vote for Democrats, reap the whirlwind.”

Washington state has had mail-in ballots for years. City hall harvests the votes of our huge homeless population and votes them all democrat. Working citizens’ votes have no effect in Seattle.

the "people " never voted for ANY of what is happening.

the elections in the state of Washington have been rigged for decades.

not only that, a republican politician is like a car salesman who is a lifetime chevy guy and hates fords but the only job opening was at a Ford dealer.

instead of blaming the activist sociopath politicians and bureaucrats they have us hating each other for our "voting" habits or the way we think

reality is we have not had representation for many decades, (maybe never) the 2 party system is just a system to obfuscate responsibility and get us blaming our neighbor instead of the Legalized Crime Syndicates known as "political parties"

it is impossible to be a politician and not be a deviant sociopath and pathological liar so the government positions are filed with legalized criminals, a normal human could not be a politician and if a normal person did become a politician they would soon be assimilated and become corrupted

I came home from work on day about 25 years ago and my cul-da sack was full of swat, the neighbors on the other side were sitting in lawn chairs drinking beer while watching the people in between us getting busted for drugs and stuff, then some asshole neighbors from hell moved in.

(at least the drug dealers were quiet and kept to themselves even if there was a lot of traffic)

Police are stupid. Superior force is a weapon. So are fists.

“City hall harvests the votes of our huge homeless population and votes them all democrat.”

Correct.

They use the address of the County Courthouse as the “residence” of the homeless people and then “cast” their votes as they need them.

Since most homeless are transient after a few years most of the “voters” no longer reside in the city. At this point they might as well just make up fake names and have them “vote”.

That is what “Democracy” means for the Democrats.

Maybe both. The Citizen Free Press video suggests white, but the image on the Fox local tv website looks like 2 or 3 were black.

Either way punks that will likely never course correct, commit more crimes and/or wind up dead at a young age.

That lady is lucky to be alive. Hope she she’s justice and finds a safer job.

Strange, they didn’t look suspicious. And to think this would happen at a “Friendly” Normandy Market.

Washington is a deep blue state. That is just a fact. Look at the Pew Research party affiliation data.

reality is we have not had representation for many decades, (maybe never) the 2 party system is just a system to obfuscate responsibility and get us blaming our neighbor instead of the Legalized Crime Syndicates known as "political parties"

I basically agree with you except that I view the GOP as a fake party whose role is to pretend to be the opposition. What they get in return is "table scraps" the Democrats leave behind for their cooperation. Everyone in Washington knows this.

Why did they even bother with the masks? Nothing is going to happen to them.

One more interesting fact about elections in King County (Seattle).

On election day, they only count ballots (100% drop box or mail-in) until 9 PM. Then, they turn off the lights and go home! Maybe 25% of the ballots get counted on a major election night.

Total fraud - from top to toe!

For the next three weeks, they count (scan) ballots only during regular office hours, and only on scheduled work days. They update new vote totals once a day in the evening.

“No surprise. Seattle chose to promote criminality when it organized, implemented, defended and supported the “autonomous zone” in 2020.”

This did not occur in Seattle.

It’s a bit disgusting that this conversation has any seriousness to it.

I forgot to mention that Normandy Park is one mile from SeaTac Airport.

Your first thought would be: "OK, blue collar, industrial neighborhood."

However, Normandy Park has two miles of very nice homes right on Puget Sound, so that is not the general impression I have.
