A reporter and a cameraman for ABC7 TV were assaulted and robbed Thursday evening in East Oakland while reporting about efforts to find new homes for a pack of severely abused pit-bull dogs.

The two men had finished interviewing neighbors in the 600 block of Capistrano Drive, near where officers found the abused and neglected animals in December, about 7:10 p.m. when two men approached them. One forced the reporter, Tomas Roman, to the ground at gunpoint and threatened his life. The other armed man confronted the cameraman, Stan Wong, and beat him with a gun.

They’re all in socialist (therefore bankrupt) states as well; too many years subsidizing out-of-control breeding and the freebies that come with it, resulting in businesses and taxpayers fleeing. Without drastic measures all 3 states will be left with the permanent underclass, illegal aliens, and the government functionaries required to operate the giant shelters they’ve become (public school teachers, emergency personnel, and social workers).
