A KGO-TV news crew was robbed at gunpoint of camera equipment while accompanied by a security guard in West Oakland in broad daylight, the latest in a spate of holdups in the city targeting the media, authorities said.
The crew and security guard were on the 2700 block of Chestnut Street when they were robbed shortly after 2:30 p.m. Friday by three men, at least one of whom had a gun, police said.
The robbers fled with camera equipment. None of the robbery victims was injured.

welcome to the Third World. Interesting how a "news" crew couldn't provide a description of the thieves.

Well, this is the kind of society they’re promoting. Do they like it?

Some, and I think sooner than they may think, news crews in urban America will have to start wearing body armor and taking the other precautions they would take if reporting form places like Beirut or Tripoli.

Oakland, glad to see it has not improved since I worked through that area 30 years ago.

Pikers. One of the Mayoral candidates in Detroit was carjacked outside a liquor store on Thursday night.

Sorry, but this is PROGRESS.
After it happens 10 more times, there will be 10 times more justice than we see here.
They want to say those people are VICTIMS..?
I say fine. I ENCOURAGE it.

"Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murders." Isn't even speaking the truth racist these days?
