Czech TV journalist Bohumil Vostal was capturing what he thought would be a majestic shot — San Francisco’s iconic City Lights bookstore, steeped in the gathering dusk — when three masked assailants approached with guns pointed.
“They were heading at my camera man, aiming a gun at his stomach, and one at my head,” Vostal said in an interview Monday, growing breathless as he recounted the harrowing incident at 5 p.m. the night before.
Vostal is among hundreds of international correspondents who flocked to San Francisco this week for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, an event drawing some of the world’s most powerful leaders to downtown and Nob Hill.

City Lights Bookstore is in on Columbus Ave in the North Beach district, a nice part of town. I don’t think armed robberies are that common there, but it’s been a long time since I was there last. Our days of going to SF for a fun outing ended ten years ago or so.
It is funny and predictable
But sad for the world to see.
All according to George Soros’ plan.
Euro trash wanted to disprove what he assumed was right wing propaganda.
I expect them to literally SEAL OFF the city now. If you want to pass through checkpoints, you had better make a damn strong case.
(of course it all goes back to ‘normal’ once this is over)
Now we know where the undesirables went after Gov. Greaseball cleaned up the city for Master Xi.
One would think that Czech journalists would avoid San Francisco like the prague.
The Amish robbers left nothing but some blank Czechs.
The whole of California has lost the appeal that it once enjoyed. That probably holds true for California girls as well.
Good point.
Czech TV journalist Bohumil Vostal. Hey, welcome to the party pal!. “Come out to the coast. We’ll get together, have a few laughs”.
Czechia has kept the melanated and islamated trash out of their country. I would not lump them in with the “eurotrash” in western Europe. Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, basically the former soviet bloc countries, have avoided the EU invited invasion and held on to their cultures.
Media is leftist there.
“ City Lights Bookstore is in on Columbus Ave in the North Beach district, a nice part of town. I don’t think armed robberies are that common there,”
Been awhile since I lived there, but yes that used to a fairly safe part of town.
Everything liberals touch turns to clinton.
