RIP Kevin. The media around here needs to quit acting like they condone some of the people doing crimes.
ReplyDeleteThis so sad. A guy making an honest living trying to keep others safe only to have some scumbags take his life over some electronic equipment.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly sad when I heard that on the news today. Probably a hard working guy just trying to make ends meet.
ReplyDeleteThe equipment is all insured the point of trying to protect and save it makes no sense. This has been going on for years.
ReplyDeleteThis was completely foreseeable and inevitable. I hope his family sues the living F out of Nexstar/KRON. And yes maybe the idiots running these stories about how crime isn't up and advising people to keep voting BLUE will have some shame and remember their "friend."
ReplyDeleteHow is it KRON's fault? If anyone needs to be sued, it's Oakland's city government for having policies that motivate crime and violence.
Deletefucking tragic
ReplyDeleteYour sarcasm is rude Craft. Take the turkey and cranberry out of your mouth and show sympathy.
DeleteGod bless that poor man.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad t hat the guy died, but the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the initial reports, was, WHY didn't the Security Guard, who was supposedly THERE to provide SECURITY for the newsteam, WHY didn't he FIRE HIS GUN at the dang BLMers who shot him? Otherwise, what good does it do to have security guards who aren't going to do anything? Oh wait, that is the situation we have now with the local police....
ReplyDelete@11:49 A man has tragically died. How about tabling your BS hot takes for one second, and offer at least a crumb of condolence?
DeleteWere you there? If not, don't play Monday morning quarterback. It's easy to second guess when you don't have a firearm aimed at you. Only the people that were there know what went down but criminals these days don't need much of an excuse to shoot someone. Between the lack of prosecution, too woke for their own good politicians and a Governor that has been relentlessly dumping convicts back on the streets to lower the prison population numbers (Covid was the perfect excuse), this should not be a surprise to anyone that lives in reality not the dreamland Utopia that some in office envision. Until people get fed up of being accosted, robbed, shot, having their homes burglarized, catalytic converters stolen from underneath their vehicle and businesses shuttering their doors from looting mobs, this will continue to happen. Being woke sounds great until you realize there are consequences. We are now seeing those consequences in action. (unless of course, you want to blame Covid for all of the above too.)
DeleteMiklo; I agree with everything you said, except for the part about me "playing Monday morning quarterback". The fact is, that security guards at this level, are hired to provide PROTECTION for the parties involved, in this case, a news crew. Much like secret service agents, they are to "take a bullet" for whoever they are protecting. Now, I don't for a second think this security guard would say he would take a bullet for the newscrew, but my point is, that he was there to provide security, and as such, should have at least, gone down shooting at the person doing the shooting at him and the news crew. These days, especially in Oakland, a security guard pretty much needs to have his eyes wide open, scanning all around, much like a secret service agent, and have his hand near his gun at all times.
DeleteAbsolutely tragic and senseless. Security guards have fire arm engagement limitations.
ReplyDeleteHey 11:49... Authorities have NOT indicated ANY linkage between this awful attack and BLM. Stop telling lies!
ReplyDeleteOPD released a car description (white Acura) yet, as usual, there is no suspect description. It does not seem like they are trying hard enough to solve this homicide.
ReplyDeleteHis family will own KRON soon
ReplyDeletecrying and upset
ReplyDeleteno more suffering
you are loved Kevin
Just heard on CNN that there is a reward fund for info leading to arrests.. I'd like to donate and I'm sure others would also. Can you post the address?
ReplyDeleteI've seen several of the emotional responses, from reporters who worked with the gentleman who was killed. It is clear that he was beloved and well-respected. An extremely sad and tragic situation.
ReplyDeleteThis begs the question:
ReplyDeleteWhy the HELL does local TV continue to do needless live shots? What was the purpose of going "live" from that location? Why don't anchors just toss to pkg's that aren't "fronted" by a live talking head--what's wrong with tossing to a taped pkg?
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The City and stores gave people the license to steal. Problem is stealing just turned into another senseless murder. SMH.
