Live Video: Same-Sex Marriage Debate in State Senate
While the security guards of an East Side jewelry store were out for lunch, two thieves managed to get away with $1 million in jewelry. Rafaela Amini, co-owner of the Gioia Galleria, buzzed in the two men, who she apparently recognized as men who had previously been in the store. Seems like they had been casing it out, since they "immediately pounced on Amini, pushing her to the floor. When they tried to tie her up, she battled back, but they kicked her in the head and attacked her with pepper spray," the Post reports. The robbers, who had Russian or Eastern European accents, took a "$640,000set of earrings and a $450,000 bracelet" if you read the Post or "grabbed a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond ring" if you read the Daily News.

Sorry for the girl, but really, these Jewelry stores all have blood on their hands. What do they expect? Unless this place abides by the Kimberly Process, I don't feel to bad for the store.
Yes, let's repair the damage done to an entire group of people by kicking a lady in the head. I'm sure everyone who's ever worked in a diamond mine now feels much better.
I never said the robbery was justified. Nor did I say kicking the lady in the head was either. In fact, I said "sorry for the girl." Point is, there are far worse crimes being committed against people who DON'T support industries that cause conflict, death, and much greater suffering across the world. The diamond store industry...not an exemplar ethical standard to support, sorry.
"The robbers, who had Russian or Eastern European accents, took a "$640,000set of earrings and a $450,000 bracelet" if you read the Post or "grabbed a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond ring" if you read the Daily News."
Also, they were buzzed in if you read the Post but forced their way in after being told they'd have to wait for the security guard to return if you read the Daily News.
