Send them to Ukraine with the vests they took. Let them put those vests to good use.

This couldn't be just random thugs this is some set-up. Look at the situation. How did they know the vestd were there? What time to break in etc, exactly where to go and what to look for specifically and to coordinate multiple get away vehicles including a large cargo van? Someone is pulling the strings on this one

NYC is now officially called GOTHAM! We need Batman! Ridiculous!

✊🏿✊🏿 oh boy the usual suspects 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The vests were rerouted for use in the region of the East NewYork.

once you capture them, put the vests on them and send them with the vests to Ukraine

Being sold to the highest bidders. Imaging a street gang fully armored with guns and vest. Would be an embarrassment to the police dept and city politicians as a whole. Not even the police dept will want nothing to do with that.

All I can say is that I’m glad they are finally showing pictures of the perpetrators.

Nothing like a bulletproof vest to wear when out jogging

[velfcookie]

I'm not the oldest nor the wisest of humans, but I'm 100% positive that this was orchestrated. The only thing that never surprises me is the suspects.

Now how could they have possibly gotten in there or did someone let them in there is the question, is there no security guards at a place like that or the government got places with US property in these buildings free to the public ? Seems odd .

"We're literally hunted EVERYDAY/ EVERY TIME we step foot outside the comfort of our homes."

This makes sense now.

[zachhi]

I wonder how many Ukrainian soldiers had to go into battle without a vest bc of these guys

[johnnydoubleu]

And I guess those are the six suspects ? Shocking

[dianalord]

How did they know the vests were there?

Brandon's Super Predators stealing for the cause.

These fine gentlemen found out it'll take weeks for the vests to be shipped over to Ukraine and decided to take matters into their own hands. They're actually flying over to Ukraine in their own private jet and hand deliver the vests to the Ukrainian freedom fighters themselves. Amazing amazing people. /clap

Black life matters campaign turned out to be great 👍

[kymtv]

[Lowie]
