No Amish in VA. Most likely blacks doing this crime.

Anyway… wanna stop this crap? Shoot looters.

Now that LaQuinta and Deleterious have got them some decent reading glasses, you can be sure the bookstore will be hit next.

Was someone checking ID’s? How do they know, “Black males between the ages of 17 to 23”? Were the ages stenciled on their backs or something?

The first few that actually get shot should solve the problem.

Thanks for finding the Rumble version. I’m finding that the content over there is increasing rapidly.

They target Alexandria bc of easy access to Beltway and the bridge to MD (PG) / DC (SE).

Carjackings and thefts are up there, as well as in Crystal City, VA, which also feeds straight to a DC bridge.

If you’re near an onramp, beware!

This would never happen in a work boots store.

They’re being framed.

I never do nothing wrong, man.
But everytime I get the blame.

“So, what use are empty frames without the persciption lenses? Seems like an utterly pointless robbery.”

That’s what I’m working on too. And given the markups in eyeglasses (and frames), I suspect the loss there is closer to $500 for the frames, and probably a few thousand to repair the damage done to the displays.

Still...they are going to feel like idiots when their fence offers them $20 or something.

Heck, it seems so pointless, I’d actually start suspecting insurance fraud. Pay a couple of homies to tear the place up, and BOOM “$50000 in losses, oh my!”

Detectives are following up on leads...

Why? Isn't this kind of thing legal now? Where is the Soros DA waiving all charges, as usual? Is DC less woke than San Fransicko?

This kind of activity provides bad optics.

This was in the Virginia suburbs.

I hope Gov. Youngkin has a plan for this.

They were only going after certain cases. Probably did not take empty frames but sunglasses.

And those can be very pricy.

In states, counties, or cities/towns that refuse to control crime, it becomes the responsibility of citizens to protect life, liberty, and property.
.
The ferals who were smashing & grabbing inside the eyewear store should have been shot by armed employees. Plausible self defense explanations could have been given.

Because not all glasses frames are cheap.

What great reporting. There are five MyEyeDr stores in Alexandria. Article doesn’t say which.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but the state of the law, as I understand it, says you cannot shot someone to defend property (although bank guards seem to be an exception) only to defend yourself and the jury gets to have hours to decide if you were under threat rather than the 1/2 second or so you have.

But it is obvious that this level of lawlessness cannot continue forever. Either we get it under control or we make it physically more difficult for the thieves to do this. In Costa Rica only a few customers are let into a bank at a time and the armed guard inside is watching you closely. Homes are built like fortresses with walls, fences, gates, razor wire, etc. and businesses with high value wares are defended like banks are; obvious armed guards inside and out. Even little convince stores have a big guy at the door to let you in.
