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.

Just life.”
