"I feel that if they didn't have that weapon to scare them off it would've been worse,"
"Because this is not the first time, they were already robbed, the first time was really bad, all their merchandise was stolen and the insurance company raised their rates. It's a domino effect, multiplier effect and this time she said she's done,"
"He's only spent $100 million, which is a small drop in the bucket for public safety,"
"We need enough money to get the job done."
Masked suspects smashed the front of Fine Jewelry in Milpitas around 1:30 p.m., then fled within seconds after the shop owner fired a legally owned gun. The attempted robbery occurred inside Seafood City Supermarket, a complex of Filipino and Asian businesses, and left shattered doors and windows. The business had been robbed two years earlier, which raised insurance rates and deepened owners' financial strain. Milpitas Mayor Carmen Montano said she felt the weapon likely prevented a worse outcome. Local community groups called for more Proposition 36 funding and organized related rallies.
