Moment Good Samaritan is pistol-whipped trying to stop an elderly Asian man being robbed in broad daylight in Oakland

[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

#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.

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.
