Hoping that the store employee is ok.

Yep. Yessir. We didn’t get a look at the injury but we don’t think it was severe.
Looks like we’re getting picked on again.
Nofundme for BevMo, I guess.
People are corporations, too, you know. Just ask a Plutocrat.
No description of suspects? Hard to believe
Not really. You have to remember that police are not disclosing details of many local crimes and most local business owners are unwilling to disclose crimes against them…
Does Orinda have freeway exit cameras like Lafayette?
There is a patchwork quilt of Flock cameras in town and some neighborhoods have financed installation of their own…
Anyone wondering WHY the increases in crime? Perhaps a DA who said she wouldn’t prosecute looters who have “economic need?!”
Voters need to wake up: our public policies & elected officials’ ACTIONS protect criminals instead of law abiding citizens. Are we going to continue down this self-destructive road, or are we going to wake up & look objectively at the consequences of soft on crime policies & judges?!!!
100% !
This wasn’t looting it was a robbery. Maybe there is an increase in crimes because criminals know they won’t get arrested? According to openjustice.org Orinda PD had a clearance of 23% on robberies in 2024. How can the DA prosecute if the police can’t make an arrest?
This is another unsolved robbery, not looting. Methinks, we need more Joe Friday and less ALLEY OOP!
