News Crew Mugged, Cameras Stolen at San Francisco Pier
NBC Bay Area ^

Posted on 07/04/2015 6:30:57 AM PDT by nuconvert

An NBC Bay Area news crew was attacked early Thursday morning while reporting a story in a mugging that injured the photographer, whose camera gear was also stolen. A second station was also robbed of its gear.

-excerpt-

The brazen attack occurred just before 6 a.m. at Pier 14 in San Francisco, where the reporter and photographer – along with several other news stations – were covering a story about a woman who had been shot to death there the night before.

-excerpt-

As the two were about to go on air, a man pulled up to the curb in a black four-door BMW, approached the photographer and pistol-whipped him with a gun then shoved him to the ground, the photographer and reporter said. The man then grabbed the photographer's camera gear, and as he was struggling to get it inside his getaway car, returned to pistol whip the photographer again, the news crew reported

Hard not to feel a little warm glow when a member of the MSM gets pistol whipped.

And somehow, they still couldn’t bring themselves to say the muggers were black?

Is LA.

Is “no carry guns, you see”.

Is ‘tough toenails’ for you, reporter man. Go to Texas.

News suppression by the local authorities? Gestapo agents from the City Government offices? Who else drives around in a BMW pistol whipping the press and taking their cameras?

Most of them are self-centered, opportunistic misery ghouls. It takes a lot of hard reality for them to divorce themselves from their smug cloistered “press” persona.

I don’t know, but since this was a criminal who came out of the car and took the camera equipment just for money, how are you sure that the mugger wasn’t also using a stolen car, which he also may have taken at gunpoint?

As the attacker, described as a man in his 20s wearing a hoodie, was hurting the photographer, the reporter yelled, "Don't shoot, don't shoot."

Did he say, "Hands up", too?

They need the cameras to photograph turning their lives around.

The Embarcadero, once a popular tourist spot has turned into a no-go zone. The reporters were covering the senseless, random murder of a young woman, shot to death in front of her father by an illegal alien who had been deported 7 times. Thugs from Oakland, who have learned that the tourists who visit the area are easy pickings for robberies, show up and mug the reporters.

So San Francisco, how's your sanctuary city and "catch and release" criminal justice system working out?

Considering what the reporters were covering, I’d say it’s not just a common criminal. San Francisco is not a nice place if you challenge the political system. There are regular people there that would perform random acts of violence against you if you express a point of view that is not liberal and far fetched. They honestly think Conservatives are coming to get them in San Francisco and Conservatives must be stopped at all costs, even by force. They make preppers look mild and tame. It’s a bizarro world in San Francisco

And does all this at 6 AM? This was not a gang banger. It was a hired person- hired by a member of the illegal alien cartel of human traffickers, with the OK of the city government who protects the traffickers (who are the uh, source, of children for pedophilia and worse). A perverted town of sick perverted residents who indulge every evil. A town that once was the pride of WWII manufacturing and stalwart working folks.

So many things wrong with this sentence: A BMW? The mugger drives a better car than I do.

pistol-whipped with a gun? (isn't that redundant? Can one be pistol-whipped with anything other than a gun?) If SF didn't pretty much outlaw guns, maybe the photographer could've defended himself.
