A California judge was ambushed and robbed of his Rolex at gunpoint by three masked men in broad daylight while he walked to work last week, police said.
Alameda County Judge Kevin Murphy had parked his car at a parking garage in downtown Oakland Thursday morning and began the two-block trek to his office in the René C. Davidson Courthouse building when the suspects accosted him.

Love the way they merged the two stories stating in the second story that the criminal was out on probation.
“The solution is obvious.”
You are on the right track.
Your solution is the go to fix .. “ Ban everyone”
But it’s time for some new idea’s ... think out of the bag ..
I propose the judge move his parking spot to a new secure area at the court house
..... then ban everyone
just saying
He shouldn’t be wearing a suit and tie in Oakland, much less a Rolex. Notice there is no racial description or body type in the descriptions of the armed gentlemen.
I wonder how many times that judge had let them back out on the streets???? .... /sarc
A judge owns a ROLEX? How does that happen on a modest salary? The same way Biden amassed a fortune of four large homes?

This is one of my favorite stories—a lefty former politician gets brutally mugged in his old age—and still apologizes for the criminals.
You can’t make up this stuff.
March 21, 2023 - California attorney general Rob Bonta (D.) blamed car manufacturers for the spike in car thefts that occurred on his watch.
How before before Bonta blames California judges for the spike in Rolex thefts on his watch?
I’m sure they thanked the judge for being so understanding.
what I call a brolex.
I wear one of this type and even it attracts attention I don’t desire.
Great watch by the way;
Steinhart Ocean One
Swiss automatic with smooth second hand sweep, 300m with sapphire crystal and a solid bracelet....

Any dicey scenarios/groups/locations, I wear the blackout version...

ladies...your man will love this as a gift.
Only wear my real Rolex under a long sleeve shirt and when I’m CCW.
Don’t even wear the brolex on a date, or in any buying scenario where negotiation is in play. One look at either watch and your negotiating position is weakened.
“One look at either watch and your negotiating position is weakened.”
Wise words.
Bling also has an association with con artists—don’t want to do anything—even subliminal—to erode trust.
if it wasn’t $950 worth or more, it wasn’t really a crime.
Be interesting to know of the guy who jacked him was someone he let walk in the past...
Forget it, Jake. It’s Oakland.
Something tells me that the armed gentlemen don’t resemble the highway robbers in that scene from Barry Lyndon.
The residents complained in Oakland about robberies targeting women. City hasn’t done anything. Now a judge gets robbed. What will it take to get reform in Oakland??
Seems a nelson haha would be apropos
Beat me to it. Maybe this will cause the black robed clowns to start throwing them in jail.

When crime starts to directly affect government employees and their families, then watch for the changes in criminal punishment.
