Funny, there are parts of Oakland that I've spent a great deal of time in and loved. This, however, is nothing like any place I ever hung out.
It's funny you say that. Some dumbass thug tried to break in to a home by the country club last year while the owner was home and got shot dead. The mom commented on the news page that he was a good boy and it is sad that someone killed him.In California?
The citizen would be charges with murder, and probably a hate crime. Meanwhile the mother would be on the national news because "he was a good boy".
Long ago, a friend in Chicago commented on the passing of a not so good neighborhood thug. He said "Everyone is nice when they're dead." I never forgot that and see it applied in shootings as described above.
The Treyvon Martin case is a sterling example of what my friend Dave pointed out. A profane, violent thug wanna be who was thrown out of school and out of his Mom's house, suddenly becomes a saint. Meanwhile, the parents of the late Treyvon, copyright his images and statements like "Justice For Treyvon" to ensure their financial gain.
We need to be smarter than this crap............. Let's not fall for it!

I agree with what you're saying about the Mall ninja stuff for non-violent offenders but I am not too sure I can fault those cops for running off. Yeah it is their job to maintain law and order, but that seems like a huge officer safety issue.
I am not a cop and I've never been a cop but it is reasonable to believe that in a large mob like that with a 1 to 30 ratio, live to fight another day. That's the kind of stuff back up is for. Not to mention if the cop had to defend himself or another person, you can almost bet it'd be the LA Riots on steroids.
I agree that one car leaving was the right choice at the time. But why not call in the cavalry and go back and clean house? Had it been a group of 2A supporters with "unregistered " ARs they'd be back in full force.
They ended with his ar and flag yelling "get off my property new world order scum. Get off my fucking property." Straight hilarious. I wouldn't carry with the mag in tho. If keep it in a pocket with the bolt back.
