Crimes Against News Crews in Oakland, California Cause Rethinking of Live Coverage
Breitbart ^ | 12/05/2021 | Penny Starr

Posted on 12/05/2021 5:17:43 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Journalists who cover crime in Oakland, California, are now becoming the victims of crimes as news crews are being robbed of expensive equipment. And those crimes include the recent shooting death of a security guard who was working for a local media outlet.

“The tragic turn of events last week and the unabating levels of violent crime has caused us to further enhance our safety procedures,” Jim Rose, vice president and general manager of KRON, said in a statement. “We have made immediate adjustments in our news gathering process and are also actively reviewing longer-term systemic changes to our coverage of the Bay Area.”

This won’t have an impact on MSNBC or CNN, only on news media.

I guess Mike "SwillAss" Wallace was Commie scum.

Which means his Red Diaper baby kid Chris SwillAss is even bigger Commie scum.

No “rethinking” of “defund the police,” however.

Leftist news crew:
“Feets, get movin’. C’mon, knees, stop knockin’. Where’s the bar?”

Maybe robot dogs and overhead camera drones can replace the intrepid journalists and videographers.

That one whose D-Day pictures are iconic was in the line of heavy fire.

One of his irreplaceable film rolls was accidentally ruined by an assistant later. The ones that survived were developed and went onto the covers of Life and Time and the history books.

“The cities are becoming like the favelas of Brazil. Wont be long and people will be staying in their neighborhoods that have armed private security patrolling and managing ingress and egress points.”

It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.

Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,

It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.

Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”

The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.

Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.

Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.

• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.

• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.

So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

The above statements excerpted from: Victor Davis Hanson’s: “Third-Worldizing America
Nation & State” ^ | 12-4-2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!

https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million


It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.

This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.

That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.

This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.

Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!

George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.

Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!

Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!

crews depicting a peaceful protest in the midst of a town inferno is not good enough for the destroyers. Isn’t it nice to see all their hard work protecting and coddling come to fruition
