Reporter robbed at gunpoint while filming a story on theft in crime ridden San Francisco

A local reporter in San Francisco was filming a segment on people breaking into cars on Wednesday, and was about to interview a man in the Twin Peaks area when they he was robbed at gunpoint.

Before the interview could commence, a white car pulled up with four men in it, and three men got out and threatened them.

According to the Daily Caller, Ford told local news the following:

"The car came up here while we were about to do an interview, three guys jumped out. One had a gun and put [it] in my face and said, 'We’re taking the camera'."

"My whole thought at the moment was be calm. Let's not get this guy excited. He's got the gun. I don't. So you take the camera. It's yours Buddy."

The city of SF has become an increasingly dangerous place to live lately.

Rafael Mandelman, the supervisor for the city's District 8, had this to say on Twitter:

Earlier this afternoon a reporter was robbed at gunpoint at Twin Peaks Blvd & Burnett Ave while interviewing a resident about car break-ins in the area. @SFPD officers are working to find those responsible and recover the camera. This incident is ridiculous & unacceptable... 1/2— Rafael Mandelman (@RafaelMandelman) March 3, 2021

We need to adequately resource public safety agencies, adopt better strategies to stop repeat offenders & make clear that San Francisco is not a place that you can commit crimes & put people's lives at risk with impunity."

Despite all of this, the SF city government has just defunded the police to the tune of some $120 million.

Police managed to get the stolen camera back by Wednesday night, but apparently no charges have been laid yet in connection with the incident, and the investigation remains open:

when they he was robbed

I thought I'd just started to get the left's genders, the cis's and the sat's and the he/she/it/they/them's...

And now, there is a "they he", and I'm back to the beginning. All over again.

Now to see if it will make anyone in the city, especially the politicians and “leaders,” realize that their wokeness and not enforcing the laws are affecting “their own.”

“White boys don’t need a bulletproof vest, you’re not the ones getting shot,” one of the men reportedly said. The two men then stole his vest and backpack.

Yep, your instincts are correct.

“Yeah. Well, that’s gun control.”


Last time I checked, the City and County of San Francisco currently has two people who have concealed-carry permits. On the bright side, two more are pending.
