In the wake of Democrat-led soft-on-crime laws ramping up crime in states like California, an inspiring story of courage and resistance is emerging. On July 28th and 29th of 2023, two 7-Eleven clerks in Stockton, California fought off a second suspected robbery at their store.
According to Stockton Police Department news release, the suspect initially entered the store on the 28th at around 3:41am and threatened to shoot the employee if he resisted. The suspect then managed to steal multiple packs of cigarettes and other items, and escaped with them in a large bag.
The following day, at 12:27am, the same suspect returned. This time, the employee stayed defiant and resisted the intruder’s attempt to steal. Unfortunately, the suspect resorted to physical force, shoving several food items into a garbage bag.
At around 3:05am, responding officers encountered an individual seeking medical aid. The man complained of pain in his leg and shoulder, but claimed to have no knowledge of any assault against him. As medical treatment was provided to the man, the officers began their investigation of the suspected robberies.
“Thanks to the diligence of a witness recording the July 29 robbery and assault, the Stockton Police Department was able to combine the investigations of the suspected robberies and suspected assault,” SPD said in its news release.
Fortunately, the brave efforts of the 7-Eleven employees not only disrupted the attempted robbery but also brought attention to California’s rampant crime issue, which is only made worse by Democrat-led soft-on-crime laws. As such, the Stockton Police Department has now launched an investigation into the incident.
Store owners are FED up with being victims!!!
