Uh, Paladin2, maybe a better choice of wording when using “SF” and “withdraw” in the same sentence. :>} Safe 4th.

Hardly a “brazen” act. Had there been even a remote possibility the crew was armed or would try to defend themselves, that might be “brazen.”

I did consider that, but I really enjoy seeing real rainbows and hate the theft of same and the word gay. I’m fed up.

If this is what it takes to knock sense into liberals, this will be a slow process; not all of them survive.

“Go to Syria it’s safer”

I don’t think they bother with “concealed carry” laws there. The people who conceal weapons are usually dead.

See, if THE MEDIA is attacked, they kind of take it personally, and the gloves come off -- "Negroes! It was negroes!

That's just because it was Fox. Here's the leftist San Francisco Chronicle website (SFGate.com) describing the same incident.

From http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/News-crews-robbed-in-S-F-camera-operator-6362833.php:

The attackers were described as three males, all wearing dark clothing, with one who had dreadlocks driving a late-model BMW with upgraded rims and no license plates, police said.

Who cares if the perps strike again? Describing them accurately would be racist!

I have NO SYMPATHY for anyone in the media. Attack & pistol whip 'em all I say.

Maybe then the sorry bastards would start telling the truth!

Unfortunately ,they don’t think like that.
It is always society that has made the criminal what he is and therefore he is the victim.

It's another Porn Robbery...

November 9, 2012. In the wake of the latest TV news camera-jacking in Oakland, questions are arising over the market value of the stolen cameras.

After all, wouldn’t it be obvious that an expensive, broadcast-quality camera sitting in some second-hand store was hot?

Maybe. But that might not matter, especially if the camera ends up with porn producers. Turns out stolen TV news cameras are popular among porn purveyors and in overseas markets, where questions are less likely to be asked.

In the Bay Area, the robbery of the KPIX news cameraman outside Oakland Technical High School is making many TV photographers keeping a firm grip on their gear.

Some are thinking twice about doing stories in Oakland, where several TV and print news photographers have been targeted for their cameras, tripods and computers. The incident Wednesday in broad daylight has prompted KPIX to order that no news crews report or do live shots in Oakland without security guards, day or night.

I trust they didn’t call the racist police pigs and instead gave the “protesters” appropriate space (and time) to destroy.
