California judge robbed of Rolex, car keys by 3 men at gunpoint in broad daylight: police
2023-06-05
[NYPOST] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, judge was ambushed and robbed of his Rolex at gunpoint by three masked men in broad daylight while he walked to work last week, police said.

Alameda County Judge Kevin Murphy had parked his car at a parking garage in downtown Oakland
...that was his first mistake...
Thursday morning and began the two-block trek to his office in the René C. Davidson Courthouse building when the suspects accosted him.

One of the suspects whipped out a rod on the judge while the others ordered him to hand over his Rolex, car keys, wallet, and other personal items, according to ABC7.
He was wearing a Rolex? Figure $50,000+ for the car... in 2019 prices. Heaven only knows what cars cost today — my grocery store mascara has doubled in price since the last time I bought one.
The cost of the items was not revealed.

The judge was left unscathed and called the police immediately after the thieves expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.

"We are happy to report the judge was not injured. The suspects are described as three unknown males wearing masks," the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

#5  Robbing a judge is a good thing. Politicians, judges and Da’s journalists who have allowed the absolute chaos to run wild need to be victims, dead if possible of the system that they created.

#3  When the judge rejects all plea deal in this case, the perps will come to understand that we have a three tiered justice system.
