Elderly California Jewelry Shop Owner Violently Assaulted
Working or owning any type of jewelry store can be a daunting task. The high-end items are desired for their resale value and are a perfect target for any robber. Unfortunately, an eighty-eight-year-old California jewelry shop owner suffered during a vicious robbery. He was based in San Jose and was at his shop when a car crashed through the windows and the door while he was behind the counter. Approximately sixteen people dressed in all black proceeded to smash the glass with a hammer and made off with many pieces of jewelry.
The owner did his best to confront the robbers and stop them from stealing his merchandise, but he failed. One of the men slammed the owner to the ground as he was doing his best. Furthermore, another robber pulled a gun on a fellow employee while his pockets were being picked by someone else. They made their way out before the police could show up, but this has caused a major uprising. What happened to the elderly owner is unacceptable, and many are making that known. As of now, the suspects have yet to be caught, but the owner did suffer a stroke.
This is appalling. Watching this senior get assaulted made my blood boil. I’m sorry this happened to your friend’s uncle, @Chris_Moore4Sup. These people need to face the harshest possible consequences for their actions. I’ve been in touch with our Police Chief @SJPD_AC_Joseph and… https://t.co/dYqYbuTJ4w

The mayor of San Jose has spoken out and is “appalled” by what happened. He released a message after a friend of the owner shared their disgust on social media. Many followers who learned about this story were livid with the mayor. They felt that he could have done more and would have had it been years ago. Now, California is failing everyone, and they are not staying quiet.
Speak Up & Out
Followers of this story are angry with Mayor Matt Mahan and feel he could do far more than he is. They expressed their disdain in his handling of the California robbery:
- There was once a time when a leader would drop all else until justice had been served. Sadly that day has passed and the regular occurrence of these types of events makes this business as usual
- Then work on getting progressive DAs and Judges voted out. Why should police risk their lives arresting dangerous criminals when they’re quickly released and sometimes with no bail?
He tried to say that he was working as hard as he could, and some did like that the mayor acknowledged how bad this incident was. Unfortunately, it does not fix what happened, and hopefully, these people are caught and brought to justice.
