By all means, let's not set out to offend one another, except on Internet fora. But when you're giving a description of jewel thieves in the newspaper, presumably so that witnesses can come forward and assist in finding them, doesn't it make sense to give their race?

We know what they're wearing. We don't know anything about what they actually look like. Good game.

For now, all we can do is pray that they haven't any other clothes.

Come see the sexism inherent in the system.

Clearly the thing to do is arrest every man, 20 to 30 years old, wearing dark sweatshirts, blue jeans and white sneakers.

That'll show'em.

Why would we need to wear dark sweatshirts, blue jeans and white sneakers to arrest them?

Maybe the newspaper just figures that it's a given everyone knows they are black....

Or Latino, or Asian, or (gasp) white.

In this extremely multi-racial area they don't even bother with "Latino or white". They're scared to say anything at all because they'll catch a ton of **** for it from someone.

Then the extremely ball-less editor should say ***** it and just put it out there. If the paper is going to catch hell from someone no matter what, why the worry?

Our news bulletins are careful to avoid "Thieves were black men" and say the thieves' description was "5'10 to 5'11, Black, and wearing hula skirts with Fricken "Laser Beams" on their heads"

These are jewel thieves. I would assume that they are white, dressed in black sweats with ski masks and are armed with grappling hook guns.

I'd start looking for them trying to fence their wares in Moracco.

Given their drab attire I'd say we can rule out the possibility they are homosexual. That ought to narrow things down quite a bit.

If they're jewel thieves, they're probably jewish too.

I say start checking the illegal underground boxing bookies in London. Watch out for pikeys.

Thieves grabbed more than $1 million worth of rings from the front window of a posh jewelry store on Union Square, San Francisco police said Tuesday.

The brazen burglary happened around 1:30 p.m. Monday when two men smashed the front window of the Felicci & Co. store on Stockton Street near Maiden Lane. The men grabbed an unknown number of rings from the window and fled on foot down Maiden Lane, said Sgt. Steve Mannina, a police spokesman.

The men are described as Yid ****. SFPD are interviewing 453,762 suspects.
OK
