A "beloved local hip hop" artist was robbed of his $89,000 Red camera while making an anti-GOP music video in West Oakland. (Side note: This is the fourth known armed hold up of an Oakland film crew this month.) To illustrate the theme of "lack of opportunity," his actors were wearing Trump, Reagan, Nixon, and Lincoln masks. Sadly, all of the video was lost.
No description of the criminals has been released. However, given the subject matter of the video, I suspect pro-Trump perpetrators are likely involved. There is a GoFundMe link if you want to help out.
I bet Mr "Beloved Hip-Hop Artist" had a description of them.
...And it wasn't "TEENS".
LOL
Or a couple of pounds of C4, for when the robbers have escaped to a sufficient distance.
A more realistic Q-camera would have a dye package capable of making the thieves “persons of color” - and how.
DayGlo pink seems appropriate for the community. Or would flaming pink be better?
Looks like he could use some of the Trump advocated Law and Order.
Maybe he would like the the streets to be made safe again now. .
Perhaps not - bet it turns out to be an inside job and the camera wasn't paid for all the way.
Because the Bay area is so loaded with Trump supporters, who else could it be? < /sarc>
They say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, but my guess is this "artist" will require a few dozen more muggings to get there.
Most, probably all of the red cameras are leased. Insurance will take care of it.
I’ll bet the insurance is expensive in that area.
Ahem.
It was insured, except for the $7500 deductible.
Which they are raising through gofundme.
I suspect insurance scam.
They sell the old camera on ebay.
The writer is an anti-white, anti-Trump racist poseur.
I presume, from this piss-poor piece of what is supposed to writing/journalism/potty training, that the actors/camera crew/director were all blindfolded while shooting the scene so they never saw their robbers.
Perhaps they robbers were wearing white robes and hoods with “I Like Trump” inked on them.
As the cop said to Jack Nicholson in “Chinatown”, “Forget it. It’s Oakland”.
Hey! Isn’t Oakland Comrades Ron Dellums and Maxine “The Hair is Just Borrowed” Waters’ “hood”?
I’m sure that there are a lot of white robbery gangs in this area. Guess the worst one is “The Righty Whities”.
What a shithole of a city and a shitty story to match.
Nuke it from orbit just to be sure the cancer doesn’t spread.

If you are into video equipment, there’s going to be a really good deal to be had from a crackhead who wants to sell a $89,000 camera for $800 bucks.
And refer to rap as "music".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Probably bought it from the same crew.
“Have a nice day. A$$h0le..”
Democrats. Beat the sh@t out of the GOP for being creationists and not embracing evolution. Then pass social programs in the hundreds of billions of dollars thwarting the consequences of evolution.
Me? All I want is consistency. Either we’ve broken the code or we are going to let nature take its course...
I’m tired of underwriting libtards lifestyle.
West Oakland. Tough area. Getting better, though. My relatives lived there for ten years in the 1990’s. We drove to the West Oakland Bart station even though it was two blocks away. Secret? Get to know the local older man who is fearless and knows the people in the area. Then pay him off with charm and money. He will look after your stuff.
Ok, hip-hop and artist should never be useed in the same sentence. ..
Close to 2 years after it was stolen from a car in Davis en route to the CA state match an approximately $7500 Steyr Field Target rifle setup showed up on Craigslist as “Steyr BB gun” $900.
Unfortunately a number of FT shooters knew what/whose it was and scared the guy off with a flurry of attempts to buy it.
In Oakland? Seriously? Something expensive is stolen in Oakland and the author suspects Trump supporters? Whatever Trump supporters there are in Oakland, they are not gonna be the gang banger types.
Many years ago, one of the TV networks had a portable broadcast quality videotape recorder stolen from the loading dock of their Burbank studio. About a year later, the factory received the machine’s recording head back for refurbishment... from Argentina.
All right, a pro-Trump takedown crew! We be tha Deploabullz! Fools be insane in tha uppah membrane!
