Baruch Hashem! Another victory for gun control and victim disarmament!
I hope the perpetrators are caught and the victims regain their money.
YWN editors, did you mean “strong-armed” rather than “strong armed”?
AinOhdMelvado thanks for the laugh:

Flatbusher asked: “Who keeps $100,000 in cash around the house?????”
Good question. Usually drug dealers, money launderers and other such people who are up to no good.
While it is too early to suggest that this is the case here, the situation smells pretty fishy. Firstly, Con-Edison does not operate in Nassau County… LIPA does. And if the thieves were dressed up as utility company employees then this was possibly a very well planned heist. So, did the thieves know that there was a large amount of cash on the premises? I imagine that the detectives will be sniffing very carefully into this case.
The responsibility to defend yourself and your family rests on your own shoulders. Our police are some of the best in the country, but they can only respond.
I am so saddened to hear of this crime perpetrated on our brethren, I am happy to see that there are still a few of us left around here who own guns and are prepared to C”V use them to defend our families. Call your elected officials and pressure them to make resposible gun ownership easier in NYS and NYC and around the country
Too bad they didn’t know that there is no Con Ed on Long Island!!! Oh Well…hope they know now.

Even if they get caught they’ll be out soon to do this some more. Obama will defend them. The jury will be racial tilted.
No question this is an inside job. It won’t be hard to find the connection. It’s the maid’s boyfriend’s cousin.
