Thank goodness no one was severely injured, physically at least.

Needless to say, I hope the perpetrators get caught.

All must be insured. We are all going to bear the cost with rates going up for everyone.

Sledgehammers are becoming dangerous, we need to limit the sales of these hazardous items....or better yet, just ban them entirely.

The supposed owner blocked the exit with his body to lock the robbers inside... over half a dozen Rolexes?

Is this a tongue-in-cheek political statement on a watch forum? If so,

I'm sure it is. It's also funny. I'm also sure that if the Moderators don't like it, they'll PM and say so.

Yes, it's funny... tell that to the parents of the recent event. Whatever side of the debate we're on, the post is just bad taste.

No, it's bad taste to admit something as funny and in the same sentence comment on how it's in bad taste. Get over yourself.
