LOS ANGELES - A group of teens robbed a 7-Eleven in Hollywood earlier this week, leaving a store employee injured.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the robbery occurred shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday at the 7-Eleven off Wilcox Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard.
Police said that a group of approximately eight suspects, believed to be between the ages of 16 and 20, entered the store and started grabbing and opening bags of chips. The teens were then confronted by the store clerk before they were seen on video assaulting the employee.
The suspects ran from the store, with one suspect stealing money out of a tip jar...
The LAPD responded to the scene and took down a robbery report.
FOX 11 spoke with the manager of the 7-Eleven, who told us that these brazen robberies happen frequently, but it was the first time an employee was hurt during one of the robberies.
On Thursday afternoon, a group of 7-Eleven company officials and franchise owners held a news conference to announce support of Proposition 36 on the November ballot. The proposition aims to implement harsher penalties for repeat theft offenders and crack down on mob-style smash-and-grab robberies in a state that’s earned a reputation for being "soft on crime." If passed, some of these crimes that were previously classified as misdemeanors would be recategorized as felonies, reversing Prop 47 which voters passed in 2014.
According to the state, the theft of items worth $950 or less is generally a misdemeanor, but Prop 36 would make the crime a felony if the person has two or more past convictions for theft crimes.

RE: The LAPD responded to the scene and took down a robbery report.
Thugs all over the state: Oh, no. That means the police are taking notice and writing down reports. Next thing is they won’t hold the doors open for us to run out and they won’t clear traffic for our getaway cars. This is deeply serious.

[RE: with one suspect stealing money out of a tip jar...]
I was just thinking today as I took some jeans right out of the dryer? (true story - I ran it a little long, shut it off to grab the jeans and a Seinfeld episode popped up in my head, lol)
What do I know about baking a shirt?
It’s them again, Yogi.
So now that the police "took down a report" it means they will notify the criminals' defense attorneys of the name and address of the victim so they thugs can beat the person and their family to keep them from testifying someday. Maybe permanently.
Most states. Example: the Code of Criminal Procedure requires that a prosecutor disclose the names and last known addresses of witnesses. A defendant's attorney will receive a Witness and Exhibit List well before the trial, including names, personal info, contact info and the nature of the testimony to e presented at the trial.
if you are charged with a crime and proceed to trial by jury, or by bench trial (Judge decides) you will always have notice of exactly who the government intends to call as witnesses. Except in the case of a C.I. or Confidential Informant, where you will only receive an identity of C.I. but you can find out who the C.I. is prior to trial by scheduling a deposition, or recorded interview of a witness, under oath. You will meet the C.I. in person at the deposition, if he fails to show up he will NOT be allowed to testify.
Mow the little bastards down.
It would not have to happen more than a few times
and the rest would be too scared to try it.
No quarter
The job of the police is to document crimes.
Sadly often true.
Especially now that they will later be up against a hostile woke review board deciding on which crime to charge the cops with, being harsh to an armed violent felon, punching a criminal who pulls a knife and puts it to the cop’s throat, or a cop using the wrong pronoun under state laws and thus harming the special rights of a trans criminal who was grabbing a small child and pushing them into a van. Cops in real trouble then.
I’m totally shocked. I didn’t know there were 7-11s in Whoreywood.
There’s a police station a few blocks south of this 7-11 on Wilcox.
Another day, another crime spree in California.

Neither did I, and I used to live in Hollywood, near Sunset and Vermont...

Thanks for the laugh, so true!

The generic “teens” again.
It’s amazing the authorities are unable to further describe the culprits.
