A recent string of robberies on BART trains took a frightening turn when dozens of juveniles swarmed an Oakland station over the weekend and commandeered a train car, forcing passengers to hand over bags and cell phones and leaving at least two with head injuries, witnesses told the transit agency.
The incident — the first of its kind in recent memory — occurred around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at Coliseum Station.
According to a police officials, witnesses said 40 to 60 juveniles flooded the station, jumped the fare gates and rushed to the second-story train platform. Some of the robbers apparently held open the doors of a Dublin-bound train car while others streamed inside, confronting and robbing and in some cases beating riders.

ReplyDelete"Unacompanied minors" . Tell it like it is.
ReplyDeleteSure hope LAME STREAM media doesn't jump on its high horse and show video ad nauseam.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Copycats, which just endangers others who use mass communication platforms (not only metro style trains - it can be buses too!). Oakland feeds NY which feeds Chicago, Washington, Detroit, LA, Miami, etc. etc. etc.
Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute!
This is unreal.
ReplyDeleteThis is another sanctuary city so probably a bunch of illegal gang bangers with no respect for our laws. Sorry, but y'all brought it down on yourselves.
ReplyDeleteGuarantee it wasn't Europeans !
ReplyDeleteBut, whatever you do, don't carry a gun. Our "leaders" will protect us with gun free zones and "sanctuary cities".
ReplyDeleteCARRY A GUN.
And USE IT.
Count on jury nullification.
Ain't no middle class person going to put you in prison for blasting 15 thugs who just hit you in the head with their own .45.
Kill them all.
We're good with that.
The media won't say it, but we all know what race these so-called "youths" are from. We really need to find a way to separate them from the rest of us so that those of who are law-abiding Good Americans will no longer have to deal with this stuff. And if you think it's only happening in places like Oakland, go down to Wawa after dark on a weekend night. It's coming here, too, folks. Be ready.
ReplyDeleteComing to a city or town near you. Soon.
ReplyDeleteBe prepared.
I cant WAIT.
DeleteWe all know what color these thieves were!
