This was a case of shoplifting, not a robbery.

Email the BRPD and tell them they were wrong in their press release.

The point is that ,even as minor a detail as it is, the lengths the news goes to sensationalize headlines. On a basic level it's pretty disturbing you can't even believe the "news" anymore.

The one time since the invention of cameras that it's perfectly acceptable to wear a mask into a jewelry store and this guy goes commando.

I don't believe this even made the news. What I quoted is off the BRPD press release, verbatim. Evidently there was some reason they are calling it robbery. It only takes a small threat or for the victim to feel threatened for it to escalate from shoplifting to robbery.

Could this all just be a disguise? Wig, fake tatts, outrageous outfit.. They would totally be looking for the wrong person..

Was this a troll or just ignorance? You can try on a $30-50k diamond Necklace or $10k watch at any Lee Michaels. Now granted the Mall of La store is scaled back compared to other locations, but Lee Michaels isn't a trashy place to get jewelry.

If a guy that dresses like that walks into a jewelry store, you don't give him a piece of jewelry unless he pays for it.

Denying service to white people isn't racist. It's retribution for hundreds of years of oppression.

Good thing he wore discrete clothing and didn't expose any identifiable tattoos. Oh wait....

he’s just trying it on, for longer than you would normally expect. They should be more clear about that.
