Crime spikes, and you are there: NBC TV crew robbed in Oakland, Fox crew chases off carjackers

How bad has crime become in major American cities? Bad enough that media camera crews now randomly witness it — or experience it first-hand. An NBC Sports team got robbed at gunpoint this weekend in Oakland, less than a fortnight after a photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle got robbed across the bay. And that’s not all so far this month:

    An NBC Sports crew working on assignment in Oakland, California was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning, according to a report from The Mercury News, and the robbers got away with a camera from the crew’s vehicle.

    No one was injured during the robbery, the newspaper noted, citing an Oakland Police Department spokesperson.

    This robbery is reportedly the third involving news organizations in Oakland within two and a half weeks’ time.

    On Dec. 3, a San Francisco Chronicle photographer was held up in an armed robbery and before that a security guard for local news station KRON-TV was killed by gunshot during an attempted robbery, according to The Mercury News.

Turning liberals into conservatives, one individual at a time.
