The Brief:
-Video shows four masked thieves stealing over $2 million in jewelry from a West Seattle store in a 90-second smash-and-grab.
-The suspects used hammers to break in and threatened staff with bear spray and a taser.
-Police are investigating, but the suspects escaped in a getaway car and remain at large.
Smash-and-grab thieves in Seattle made off with an estimated $2 million in diamonds, luxury watches, gold and other items in a daring midday jewelry store robbery that took just about 90 seconds, police said Friday. Video from the West Seattle store's surveillance cameras shows four masked suspects shattering the locked glass front door with hammers and then ransacking six display cases Thursday.
One display held around $750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said in a statement, and another had an emerald necklace valued at $125,000. A masked suspect threatened workers with bear spray and a Taser, police said, but no one was injured.

Shows planning. Strategy. Rehearsal. Definite efficiency.
How many Americans still have that in them? /SARC
Just aggressive shop lifting, let the be.
I have read several times of places like comic book stores where an overnight robbery was just for the extremely valuable items, leaving the common items behind, showing a connoisseur’s knowledge.
Good for them.
“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.”—Matthew 6:20

I guess the staff wasn’t fond of carrying pistols to protect themselves and their store.
Oh, well. It’s Seattle. File an insurance claim and move on.
This is what Seattle voters want, so they are just giving it to them.
Not so daring if store managers and staff are warned not to interfere, and cops are often warned not to go off in a high speed chase with possible weapon rounds shot at them from the thugs with innocent civilians around.
Some stores' employees even held open the doors for them to leave with the loot, to the waiting SUVs.
Related story on a much smaller scale. At the university library where I used to work a guy rushed out of the doors despite the "tattletape" alarm going off. A student's assistant's boyfriend saw it and rushed outside to run after the guy, who had armfuls of well chosen art books and rare books.
Due to the poorly maintained sidewalks a distance ahead, the guy tripped over a crevice and fell, breaking his leg and hip.
The guy sued the university for a fortune and settled for a moderate but hefty fortune. The bosses reiterated to us to never, ever impede a criminal. Let them go.
Seattle-approved reparations.

I don’t doubt that for a second. But I wonder why the university settled. I can’t imagine a jury would find in the thief’s favor.
But if one did, a judge would through it out - the thief had “unclean hands”.
Yup. Give it to the blue voters.

Roughly the rate of government spending, but of course that spending is non-stop.
But don’t get me wrong, as long as I, as in ME, benefits from it (as in Social Security and Medicare), there is nothing wrong with government spending...in just these areas, though. All other spending NEEDS TO STOP!
Well, to keep the felony crime stats down, don’t be surprised if the city of Seattle and the State of Washington reclassify grand theft to anything over $2,500,000.00 . . .
Sorry, but anyone STILL running a Jewelry store in a Blue City deserves what they get.
