PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police are hoping the public can help identify several kids who stormed a local gas station this past Saturday night and stole everything they could grab.
On the surveillance video, one person came into the Chevron convenience store on SE 92nd and Foster. Then a second person came in and pretty soon, a large group of kids was packed into the shop. Soon, they were stealing anything they could, from drinks to gum to candy.
Carlos Garcia was working Saturday night at around 11:30 p.m. when the incident happened. He said there were 16 kids in the store. Garcia said the kids grabbed anything they could and shoved items into their pockets or simply carrying them in their hands and out the door.
"My first reaction was call police because I can't do more," he said. "I don't want to hurt them -- they're kids. I called the police. They don't stop they're just picking picking as much as they can."
As the kids were leaving the store, there was some sort of confrontation. It didn't end there, though. The thieves came back to the parking lot, which is when Garcia said they started throwing things at him. Garcia promptly grabbed a baseball bat and scared the kids off.
Portland Police are investigating. Employees at the store are hoping someone can recognize the kids and call police.
Lest anyone be surprised that this happened in Portland, OR, don't be: the once-beautiful city of Portland has become a cesspool of crime committed by Obama's sons and daughters in recent years.
Those crazy, wacky Amish again...
“Daring pack of kids”= Gang of young thugs.
How come I didn’t even have to guess at the race of the little bastards......
Too stupid to realize the cops will track their asses down through the social networks they used to plan their crime.
And IF he had used a pistol to protect his property (or the property of the store owner), we’d again have protests of an armed thug picking on the ‘poor minority kids’.
The local Portland TV stations are SO careful not to racially profile these little thugs, even though the store’s camera caught the whole thing.
Well, at least they used the term ‘pack’, which is appropriate for a group of animals. Did they take all loot all of the iced tea and skittles?
They’re practicing to be Occutards when they grow up.
I wonder if the store employee, Carlos Garcia, was a WHITE Hispanic?
Well of course....gotta toe the Lib/white guilt line, donchaknow.
It’s crazy how they go out of their way NOT to identify characteristics about the perpetrators.
Why is it okay to say they are young kids, but not okay to identify other characteristics, such as race or ethnicity?
If they are concerned that people will have bad feelings about black people if they mention the race of the suspects, why aren’t they concerned that people will have bad feelings about kids and young people???? I mean, if the goal is to avoid profiling or promoting bigotry and all that, why is it okay to mention their ages?? Doesn’t that promote resentment and bigotry against the young????
It’s “for Trayvon”, perhaps.
If this kind of thing keeps happening on a regular basis, the layout of convenience stores may change.
It may get to how the liquor stores in some bad areas are set up. In some bad areas, the guy at a liquor store sits behind bullet proof glass, and slides the booze to you through a trap door. They don’t have the merchandise out on open shelves for people to grab and run.
We all learned in school that a few rotten kids in the class can ruin things for everybody.

Carlos seems to be a nice guy. He’s a Hispanic-hispanic, not a white, Jewish hispanic ;-)

And, sadly, statistically, you were probably correct to use the word “bastards”.
“Lots of comments about the use of the word “daring”.”

Well I hope they are negative.
“Daring” is a complimntary term. For example, the night bombing raids over Europe in WW II took a lot of daring.
Wanton destruction and punkish theft by inner city savages with full cover from the Kenyan in Chief and his openly racist AJ, is just the uncivilized nature of their “culture” bubbling to the surface. Again.
