If the suspects are not identified yet, how is it known that they are minors.

They don't know. The reporters said "appear to minors."

So we just have take their word for it, or at least that is what they hope.

As many have stated here, it is almost certain that they are covering up for a favored and protected minority group.

[Secret Agent Man]

How do they know they are all under age?

They have no idea.

If they are so certain that must also mean they know exactly who they are.

[Secret Agent Man]

Sure you can. Disparity of force allows you to use greater use of force. They are a mob. It is a surprise attack. They are assaulting people.

[USNBandit]

My guess is that would more than do the trick.

[SkyDancer]

You do realize that it happened in SF, right? The rights are always for the attacker, never the defender who would be arrested for ‘over reacting’ ....

Two weeks ago I worked in Oakland on Alameda Island on the USS Hornet.

Saying that area is a Third World $hit Hole doesn’t due justice to the term Third World $hit Hole because it truly is a Third World $hit Hole.

They usually take over non-moving department and convenience stores.

The images cannot be shared publicly, she said, because the suspects appear to be minors.
Well, OK then.

So we are not seeing this on local tv, as these thugs appeared to be minors.

“Make no mistake, if you take out 20 the rest will run.”

You’re probably right, but I don’t want to bet my life on it, and especially not my dependents’ lives.

Some people are very unpredictable.

[Secret Agent Man]

Isn’t Oakland mexican for Assh01e?

[Ken H]

Doubtful that’s the problem here. This is native grown.

If you point that gun at someone, you will be charged with a felony.

Correct.

They can charge you with Brandishing, and Assault (even if you don't fire the weapon, it's Assault). Combined with illegally carrying in states like CA, and you can be sent to prison for a long time.

I had a throw away gun when I went to NYC.....

Illegal...yes....

Shoot, toss and walk.....

Around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, I think.

Good tips for maximizing the effects. Those aren’t things I would normally think of.

I’ve been accosted and punched by “teens” in Ithaca, NY; Columbus, OH; Cleveland, OH; and Palo Alto, CA. First “teen” encounter was when I was 13 in a movie theater in Ithaca — wheeled around and sucker punched in the face. Thank God I’ve never been seriously hurt. Each incident heightens your situational awareness a lot. Hasn’t happened in about the last 30 years because I generally know where to not go...starting with MLK Blvd.
