40 to 60 robbers, and only 7 victims? I wonder how many riders there will be next Saturday night. Besides John Kerry to introduce James Taylor. (Hey, it worked the first time they tried that, right?)

Maybe Barack and Michelle can ride along too. Organize this, Barry.....

I do 36, mostly, however, the 2 10 rounders on the right hip are there to balance the gun plus 16 on the left.

Teens is the official synonym for Negroes.

You can drop IL from your list, because CCW is now the law here. IL is a “Shall Issue” state, as well.

And dark complexioned.

"...police arrived at the station in under 5 minutes, but the robberies took place in just seconds."

I'm confused. The politicians and courts in California have consistently assured the citizens there, that there's no need for them to carry defensive firearms.

For the umpteenth time, boys and girls, 'When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.'

[arthurus]

We are not allowed to say that they are black young men. We are allowed to say they are teenagers.

It uses the term, "teens." That is now an up front plain as day identification of Negroes up to just shy of "middle aged."

I got the hell out of there in 1979. Smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Can’t think about that if you are in that situation. Whatever ammo you’ve got will have to do. Aim well, don’t waste ammo just making noise. Give priority to the armed ones, maybe they’ll drop something you can use.

I have been in firefights and when I was new guy, ran out of ammo in one. I had rabbited off several magazines towards the enemy and wasted a lot of rounds making noise.

I was lucky and never did that again. I learned to calm down and aim.

Time to start deporting Africans back to Africa.

Those "Africans" are just as American as you are. Some of them are criminals, but most aren't.

Real law enforcement and strict sentencing guidelines, are the cure for this sort of crap - not knee-jerk calls to expel Americans, based upon nothing but the color of their skin.

[Windflier]

Forty to sixty? Holy crap, I only carry 21 rounds, as a general rule.

Put down two or three, and the rest will scatter. At least most will, which betters your odds of survival.

[Windflier]

My guess for why images cannot be shared and why the only identification given is youths would result in me being called a racist.

Not by me, and I grew up in the hood.

Are you from the Bay area by chance and familiar with the goings on of BART? This seems like a significant first if it is in fact a first. I was hoping the article would have comments to see how the locals were reacting but no comments.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Think they will add images and story to the “Visit Gay SF” tourist flyers? /s/

[Windflier]

If I were caught carrying a concealed handgun in California I would be charged with a misdemeanor.

Sure, but shoot someone while carrying 'illegally' in California, and see what sort of charges you face. Won't be a misdemeanor, that's for sure.

[varon]

What would happen to him in California if he defended his belongings or perhaps his life?

He'd be called a racist?

“Can’t think about that if you are in that situation. Whatever ammo you’ve got will have to do. Aim well, don’t waste ammo just making noise. Give priority to the armed ones, maybe they’ll drop something you can use.”

Good advice.

[Neoliberalnot]

Not so. Anyone who puts another nationality before American is not really American. Deportation has absolutely nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with bad behavior. Same goes for white flight from neighborhoods—it is the behavior that people want to get away from. The color makes no difference to anyone—the color thing is jive talk by negroes.

The CBC is going to demand that the FCC pull the plug on FR.

That’s 5 articles depicting “Blacks” in a “bad light” in less than an hour. Have they gone mad?

[SkyPilot]

I didn’t know that, thanks.
