Why would anyone be a security guard for corporate-state-run mainstream propaganda media? If I knew their schedule, I'd be tempted tell the gangsters in advance.

Watching the video, it appears to be standard practice for TV news crews to take a guard with them on site. What does it take for Libs to realize they are living in Bizarro World?

Did he take a weapon to this confrontation? Then he has no right of self-defense!

My cousin works on film crews in Chicago. They never go out without armed security. Usually a lot of it.

More for the replacement cost of the equipment than the crew itself

A news crew being protected by an armed security guard? Doesn’t this go against the media’s narrative on guns?

Very high end video equipment is in demand for the porn industry and for rap videos.

Yes it does. Why does the crew need an armed vigilante? Did this hired gunman cross any state lines??

Why would anyone take a bullet to protect a MSM news crew?

It sounds like it happened too quickly for the security guard to get out of the way.

How do you distinguish between a California citizen’s right to redistribute a store’s wealth by taking merchandise and not paying for it and an illegal robbery?

Since Oakland is a black city, there is not really any compelling law

This needs to STOP and it should be a Major Felony to have anyone in your employ or employed on your behalf for the purpose of security or protection, to be in possession of ANY Weapon. YOU have a Right to defend yourself but you do NOT and should NOT have ANY right to HIRE A GUN!!!
