MEDFORD, Mass. — Police are searching for the people responsible for smash-and-grab robberies at several Massachusetts jewelry stores. Surveillance video shared by Touch of Midas in Burlington shows nine people breaking through the front door in the overnight hours between Saturday and Sunday. Those people then used hammers to smash display cases in order to grab fistfuls of jewelry. Those thieves were able to run off before anyone could catch them. Roland Racicot, the owner of Roland's Jewelry, said thieves broke into his 30-year-old Medford business and stole about $15,000 in merchandise the same night Touch of Midas was robbed. The

Comments:

Mass. has been a bit slow in hopping on the Smash and Grab bandwagon. Just now getting in on the new trend.

These seem to be happening in only the Blue states. Once again, showing that conservatives are just so behind the times.

It's nice to see that this is just another Blue State problem and the Monkey See-Monkey Do game is being successfully learned by watching others so they do have some potential. Those of us in flyover country or Red States would end these shenanigans with a stray bullet or two.

The interesting thing is that some of these that have been investigated in detail have found that the participants were all independent thugs, coordinated by phone and never before or after seeing each other, or perhaps even really knowing each other. Just "automated team thuggery". Still .....drop one in the act and the fun will be gone out of this new 'game'. I suggest buckshot in a 12 gauge.

Mary Anne Franks, an actual law professor at the University of Miami School, has proposed a “redo” of the First Amendment in a Boston Globe oped. (She likewise proposed a “redo” of the Second Amendment, but perhaps that's better handled separately.) The first and most important of the amendments, she writes, is “deeply flawed” in its conceptualization “of some of the most important rights of a democratic society: the freedom of expression and religion.” The amendment as it stands now, Franks adds, it’s “highly susceptible to being read in isolation from the Constitution as a whole and from its commitments

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS — The former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright while yelling "Taser" in a traffic-stop-turned-arrest is expected to take the witness stand Friday in her manslaughter trial. Hennepin County District Court Judge Regina Chu told jurors Thursday they were "almost done" and that the defense had two witnesses left. During jury selection, Kim Potter informed the court she intended to testify, and one of her defense attorneys told jurors they would hear from her during trial. Potter, 49, is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April shooting in a Minneapolis suburb. The 26-year veteran of the

SALEM, Ore. — Theft of water during a drought. Exploitation of immigrant laborers. Intimidation of residents by armed criminals.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously passed ground-breaking legislation to provide paid sick leave for cleaners, nannies, gardeners and other domestic workers. The measure — the first of its kind in the country — would affect some 10,000 people in San Francisco who work in private homes to clean, cook, tend children, garden, do personal organizing, or provide non-medical care for disabled people or seniors. This workforce is typically low-paid with many women and immigrants, supporters said. “I think these people have been taking care of people in San Francisco for a long time, and it’s about

Residents who currently have gas stoves and heaters in their homes will not be impacted unless they relocate to a new building.

"I don't come to this conclusion lightly or because I disagree with a particular decision; I come to this conclusion because I believe the current court threatens the democratic foundations of our nation."

As a recent wave of mob-led store robberies has put retailers, mall operators and communities on edge, one popular shopping center is keeping an unusual security measure in place through the holiday season. The Grove, a famous open-air shopping complex in Los Angeles, has added a high coil fence barrier that resembles barbed wire at the property's entrances and exits. Management added the "tangled tape" coil fencing, which is made from a custom aluminum-and-steel mesh, ahead of Thanksgiving weekend. The fencing is installed nightly after the mall closes and removed before it reopens, and it's just one of the security

President Joe Biden issued a stark warning about the risks the Omicron variant poses to the unvaccinated in particular, as the nation braces for a steep escalation in cases amid an expected surge in hospitalizations.

Let the parade begin! Democrats who see the writing on the wall and who have been around in Congress for a while are seeing this as a good time to pack it in. The latest to retire is five-term Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA). Lowenthal is the 20th Democrat who will be retiring or otherwise moving on at the end of this term. He’s 80 years old and has been serving in political positions since 1992, almost thirty years. Generally, you hear a lot of retirements after the holidays. The fact that there have been so many already has to be worrying the Democrats because there are likely even more coming,
