WATCH: Houston Cell Phone Store Employee Punches Robber in Face
KTRE ^ | Jul. 11, 2023

The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division needs the public’s assistance identifying the suspect responsible for a robbery by force.

On Friday, June 30, 2023 at around 9:20 am, an unknown male entered a cell phone store, located at the 8600 block of Tidwell, in Houston, Texas. The male first acted like a customer and then walked around the counter, pushed the employee out of the way, and removed the money from the cash drawer. The suspect then fled the location in an unknown direction.

No mask but wearing gloves. Does he not think his face is recognizable?

I’d start the search in Lancaster, PA.

I had to stop in a national-known chain grocery store near the downtown area today. The security guard had on a bulletproof vest.

As I was leaving, I saw the security guard run over to a man walking out next to
me and they struggled over a tall can of some type of beverage. The guard forcibly grabbed the can from the man’s hands and walked away, and the man went outside.

The man started pushing gathered carts liked he worked at the store, then began to roam around mumbling to himself.

The crazy part is that no one in the store was fazed by the guard almost tackling the man and grabbing the potentially stolen drink. I was shocked, but wanted to clap. LOL. We need more of that proactive kind of store security.

Looks like a FEMALE Phone Store Employee.

Good for her. She threw a mean right hook to this thug.

I see that the perp was a male. I was surprised they didn’t call him a teen or a youth. They obviously couldn’t get by with calling him a child which seems to be the newest euphemism to describe oppressed minority criminals. Soon instead of calling criminal gangs teens they will be calling them males except I don’t know how they get away with that since they don’t know what women are.

He thought “5G” meant how much they kept in the cash register.

My old gag once again for crime stories “needs the public’s assistance identifying the suspect responsible.” Except it is once again true.

1st we are in danger from criminals.

Then we are in worse danger if we fight back or defend ourselves (”this person of color was harshly handled and never was asked about his dysfunctional family as a child.”)

And to top it off, after paying taxes for law enforcement, they always say “no suspects” or “reaching out to the community for anyone who has information.”

Because white employees are too scared to resists criminals, because they will get fired or sued.

No I meant why are most blacks so criminally prone?

If most people were criminally prone, there would be a lot more crime.

But consider this: Congress passed laws in the 60s to destroy families, especially black families, and the black community. Black criminals are very useful for Democrats. Look at our esteemed president and what he said/did in the 90s.

But, besides that, just because Hillary Clinton said black people were superpredators, doesn't mean you have to believe her.

Malignant entitlement psychopathy?
Though I would say many rather than ‘most’.

Blacks comprise 12% of the total population of the US and on average commit roughly 39% of violent crime.

What Democrats have wrought.

Blacks destroyed the black family. All by themselves.
