An NBC Sports crew working on assignment in Oakland, Calif., was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning.. and the robbers got away with a camera from the crew's vehicle.

This robbery is reportedly the third involving news organizations in Oakland within 2 1/2 weeks' time.
On Dec. 3, a San Francisco Chronicle photographer was held up in an armed robbery, and before that a security guard for local news station KRON-TV was shot and killed during an attempted robbery

Good. Maybe these jerks will report the news instead of bashing Trump and the rest of us deplorable.

“”We in Oakland believe in a comprehensive and effective approach to ending gun violence,” Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf (D) said late last month.”
Name one Democrat Mayor since the founding of the Democratic party 193 years ago who put an end to gun violence in his/her city or town.
Lying media scum robbed, I love it. When do the kidnappings begin? On this road to the third world, kidnapping crews has got to be the very next phase.
