-Lurid Crime Tales-
Moment Good Samaritan is pistol-whipped trying to stop an elderly Asian man being robbed in broad daylight in Oakland
2021-07-18
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The attack unfolded on Thursday in Oakland's Chinatown neighborhood

  • Surveillance video showed two thieves knocking the elderly man to the ground

  • They then turned their attention to a good Samaritan who sought to intervene - striking him with the pistol as well

  • On Friday another attack occurred in the same location when an elderly Asian woman was beaten and robbed

  • Aiwon Woo said the robbers struck her and her daughter in the head until they both fell to the ground

  • They then proceeded to steal Woo's purse, she said

  • Gun crimes in the Bay Area have doubled in 2021 compared to last year

There was this chinaman, name of J. Woo.
If anything, a poster boy for Amendment Two.
He liked him some gun, and better if deux!
A pioneer, like Jefferson, but of Gun Fu.
Sadly for his women, he too voted blue.

#2  Once upon a time in the American West, it was the custom to go about armed for protection against wild animals, brigands and savage natives. We seem to be returning to those days.
