“Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill lashed out at the suspects, calling them “creeps’”
Well, at least one person is assured of a jail sentence. The question is whether the killers will also have to serve time.
I used to travel to and work in Irvine California all the time so I think I can say with some confidence that the 69 year old Newport Beach woman probably looks 30, has fake tits, and the crepey skin of a mole-rat. They are addicted to plastic surgery there.
Negligent homicide?
People need firearms training and “must” carry; because criminally-oriented “creeps” are many!
No mention of ethnicity. Is the Coulter rule in effect here?
No pics of the perps, their names or any other info. Must be the usual suspects.
The tv broadcast showed 2 of the suspects.
It’s what you suspect.
They traveled to a very nice, rich area to commit a violent crime.
In hindsight, it probably would have been better not to struggle but to give the robbers what they wanted. It depends on the circumstances though; for example, if they try to force you into a car.
Sounds like another black on white murder.
Had she survived, I’m sure she would have been prosecuted for obstructing a robbery.
Hope these creeps get what they deserve.
Sympathies to the lady's family.

How mean....
Felt someone tugging at my purse. Instinctively strengthened my grip, turned around and told the perp. to go away. He did.
Stupid really....I just got mad before getting scared.
Just an observation. I was kind of wondering how they could even tell she was 69 in that part of the world. Sorry not sorry that I do not have much sympathy for Californians getting the medicine that they voted for.
You paint with a wide brush, Sir.
I’ve been to that mall at least 10 times from 1998 until 2005 and that is the way the women are there - Silicon City. It is like someone chastising me for stating most Africans are black. You moan like leftist, safe space eunuchs.
Was the victim a Democrat or a decent person?
