A security guard working for a California news station died on Saturday, days after he was shot by armed robbers while protecting a news crew reporting on a recent armed robbery.

Police attributed the attack to “an extremely violent week” in Oakland....

Ummm,- attributed to an "extremely violent week"? So we're blaming the calendar?

Race of attacker not mentioned. Hmmmm

Local outlets in the area have repeatedly used security guards while out on field assignments due to a spate of thieves targeting camera equipment, ABC7 reported.

So, the media can't venture outside without armed guards. Welcome to California!

kinda like a recursive?

Sounds like something they all could have predicted. Face it people, all the big cities are overrun by murderous savages.

But we’re the deplorables, right?

We are going to have to fight fire with FIRE

The media has done its best to create this lawless environment...and now they get this guy killed.

It's not enough that police are too often told to withdraw from certain locales when thugs go on a rampage of looting, shooting and burning.

Next, we can expect fearless members of the news media--many of whom are unionized--to flat refuse to cover such events out of concern for their own safety. ("I'm not paid to be a war correspondent" would be not far from the truth in some gawdoffal locations.)

And watch the news directors, editors and the oh-so-woke media ownership ranks fall right in line.

After all, if one life could be saved . . .

I view withdrawal from live coverage of out-in-the-open criminal activity as the next step in censoring news that most of the American public used to trust unquestioningly.

Times have changed, on both sides of newsroom door. No longer do the national media adhere to the time-worn phrase, "If it bleeds it leads." Exceptions abound, as we saw last Sunday unless you were watching Fox.

Eventually sane people will take matters into thier own hands and the people will applaude and support this
