Last summer, a downtown Austin bike shop made headlines when it chose to stand with rioters instead of the city’s police department during anti-law enforcement “protests.”

Mellow Johnny’s, a bicycle store founded by disgraced former cyclist Lance Armstrong [Note: Armstrong sold his interest in the store several years ago], had previously supplied bicycles to the Austin Police Department. During last summer’s riots, the store decided to terminate its contract with the department.

Then, Wednesday morning, this happened:

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Police are searching for several unidentified suspects who were involved in a robbery at Mellow Johnny’s bike shop in downtown Austin. Police say the incident happened around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday at 400 Nueces Street.

The unsurprising and ironic development follows a year in which the Democrat-run Austin City Council cut the local police budget by a whopping one-third. Predictably, crime exploded; 2020 was the recent high-water mark for murders in Austin, a tragic trend that has only escalated in 2021.

A robbery at a bike store at 4:30 a.m.? Seems unlikely that the store would be occupied at 4:30 in the morning unless the owner lived in the back of the store.

Calling the robbery "unsurprising" -- thus implying that the robbery was precipitated by the store's deciding to cancel its contract with the Austin police -- is disingenuous bombast. The robbers would not have expected that cancellation to lower the probability that a cop would be on the scene at 4:30 a.m., or to even increase the cops' response time if called.

Years ago cops used to call me on the telephone and ask for money. I never gave them a dime. Would it be karma if my family gets murdered?
