SEATTLE - Seattle police officers arrested 35 people in a downtown organized retail theft operation.

Throughout Wednesday, police saw people stealing and walking out of a store on 2nd Avenue with tens of thousands of dollars worth of cutlery, kitchen sets, detergent and several bottles of liquor.

Police said officers stopped the suspected thieves and recovered the items.

They were given trespassing notices and banned them from returning to the store for a year.

Police released the suspects, but one man was booked into the King County jail on a Department of Corrections warrant.

The police department said it will continue to work with businesses in the downtown core area about organized theft and to make sure customers are safe during the holiday shopping season.

Trespassing was the least of the crimes they committed. But they won't be punished for any of them.

At least the goods were recovered, but the 'catch and release' policy could use some modification.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Text me when the looters are being summarily shot and executed in front of the store.

Business owners should have the right to protect their property.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
