Passengers on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train were robbed, and in some cases beaten, when dozens of juveniles stormed aboard the train and forced them to give up their property, police said. The incident happened at 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Coliseum Station in Oakland aboard a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound train. BART Police said witnesses reported 50 to 60 juveniles jumping the fare gates and going to the platform. After boarding the train the They boarded the train they “committed multiple strongarm robberies of bags and cell phones,” according to a police report. At least two people were hurt and were treated by paramedics for facial and head injuries. The teens all fled into the surrounding neighborhood near the Coliseum before any officers could arrive, police said. Last week, BART announced the hiring of new Police Chief Carlos Rojas, who is looking to increase the number of police officers on trains and in stations.

Well, none of the passenger’s had a gun so at least no one was shot! That’s what’s most important! Right, California?
I’m willing to bet it has not much to do with that. The Coliseum BART station is located adjacent to Oakland’s biggest collection of public housing projects, populated almost entirely by African-Americans.
I live in the Bay Area, and this is the first I'm hearing about this mass thug attack. I usually avoid the TV news (except for weather), but I'll have to tune in this evening to see if they deign to report on this event.
Here’s Cali for you: Police won’t show the security vid to identify the perps bc they appear to be minors and teens. Call the nuthouse, willya?
HA HA! Yeah... sure.
Their who?
They misspelled "minorities."
Other reports said described them as “juveniles.”
Oh - what am I to make from such descriptions????
Well usually the words "teens" or "juveniles" is code words for minorities. Not always, but quite often.
I see what you did there.
Well - hey! YOU Must be a raving, Trump-supporting RACIST!!!! To even suggest that, even though everything you said is 100% true... Indeed, I believe the very reason BART held this and wouldn’t release surveillance footage is because it would reveal the race of the raving pack of thugs.
Fake news (no robbery at all). Simply redistribution of wealth (ghetto style). </s

What’s utopian about OAKLAND?
Not even the liberals claim it.
Anybody who uses public transportation in OAKLAND on a Saturday night is not smart enough to keep their money.
Sheesh. Most 6 year olds know better.
It starts first in California, then spreads.
Well, the La Raza Legislature and the Lilly White Liberals serving with them have made sure that Self Defense is no longer an option for Law Abiding Citizens in CA.
You reap what you sow. As true today as it ever was.
Where’s the Bernie Goetz of BART?
