Crime Oakland 7-11 security guard shot dead, another robbed

[Thrawn33]

The opposite end of what happened in Milwaukee, where the unlicensed felon security guard shot a dude in the back of the head over little Debbie's. I think the gas stations should just cut their losses and go without security. It's not a deterrent and in this case just brought more victims into the equation

Easy to say someone should cut their losses when it's them taking the loss in the first place...aka playing with other people's money...

Im not saying your 100% wrong but, shit if my business was getting graped by thieves I'd want to try and do something to stop it before I lost my shirt...

if you've entered a 7/11 lately you'd notice everything is insanely overpriced, likely to counteract loss from theft. It's already a built in mechanism in their business model.

You couldn't pay me to live in California.

even if we did you still couldn’t afford it

Sure I could. I could just shoplift everything.

This is why cash will stop being accepted in more and more places. Nobody is gonna rob a place for Twinkies or windshield washer fluid. If there's no cash, nothing worth someone pulling a gun to rob the place.

Is it as bad in Oakland area compared to San Fran?

Oakland is worse.

 

[MT7]

Things are fine in Fremont

In terms of violence, yeah. In terms of homelessness and theft, it's getting worse. Downtown Fremont is ugly and rundown, there's nothing fun to do (even Milpitas is more exciting) most of the restaurants (besides the Middle Eastern ones) suck, and property still costs an arm and a leg.

You should do some research on what started the gun restrictions in California.
One group started exercising their 2nd amendment rights, and another group (3 letters) worked with Reagan to pass the Mulford act.
Hint.: that 3 letter org isn’t a government 3 letter org, it’s some sort of national rifle association.

Everyone in the gun community knows about Reagan and the NRA. Doesn't change the fact that California's current gov is doing its best to prevent law abiding citizens (who passed additional vetting) from concealed carrying while doing the bare minimum to tackle actual gun crime.

You know what the problem is with you Americans?

You’re utterly fucked.

The country is so thoroughly flooded with guns, even if they would get banned, the government wouldn’t be able to retrieve them, because citizens still wouldn’t voluntarily give them up. Hell, I wouldn’t, because everyone else still has one, so I’d like to have the determent option should I get into conflict.

I find it real hard to have sympathy for these shooting related deaths at this point, y’all made your failed state bed and now you’re gonna have to sleep in it.

Fire away

You want to but the brakes on a lot of this then do what is needed.

I'd you kill someone in an armed robbery if found guilty it should be mandatory life with no parole.

Armed robbery should be a minimum of 20 years at least.

But the same people that want more gun control laws won't here of holding criminals responsible for their crimes.

IMO bring back death penalty. Take a life, get your life taken. Especially when it's 100% clear with camera evidence.

The death penalty is more expensive than LWOP.

1 headshot doesn't cost that much.

Man, that does sound like a problem

 

[Ramon Antonio]

The death penalty is more expensive than LWOP.

Is that universally true? I can clearly see the case for the average, but what if the suspect is younger than 25 and expected to live at least another 50 years?

 

[nostradumbass]

Oh fuck off. Reagan was Governer 55+ fucking years ago.

Lol… Democrats have been in control of that state ever since.

They fucked up California all on their own

Yeah, but it's more fun when that dork tries to pretend he's the riddler from batman on a karate forum. "This 3 letter org is not a government 3 letter org, and another certain group...". I guess we'd all better hustle back to Wayne Manor and crack the code to figure out that this clown just tried to call the country racist and blame republicans for a black criminal shooting an unarmed white security guard in an entirely democrat city in an entirely democrat state.

The margin by which execution is more expensive is very large - I've seen figures for the whole process, trial, appeals and all, costing up to 11 times more than LWOP (usually they say 3-5 times more). People would have to be living centuries in prison before it became more expensive than the death penalty. I wouldn't say universally though because there might be a tiny fraction of exceptions.

Half your population is homeless and illegal immigrants. What exactly is the income criteria?

I'd still be cautious in places carrying Klondike bars though.
