A mob of teens swarmed a 7-Eleven convenience store in Oakland, causing serious damage and sparking widespread fear in the community.
Shocking video captured around 4.30pm local time on Saturday outside of the franchise in the 500 block of International Boulevard showed an agitated young crowd entering the store and then rushing away on bikes while an alarm sounded.
Later in the footage, a smaller group of youngsters could be seen violently shattering part of the front door.
When they could not force their way in, at least one member of the group was observed trying to climb into the store through the broken glass while someone could be heard encouraging the others to ‘go in there with him.’
There were only two employees inside the convenience store when the initial attack happened, according to KTVU.
The employees reported that the crowd consisted of roughly 20 people who looked to be between 14 and 20 years old.
They stole multiple items before rushing out, only for part of the group to return after the workers locked the door and called 911.
‘I feel scared,’ Jasshan Singh, one of the employees inside at the time, told the outlet. ‘We can’t do anything. We can’t even run.’
Completely surrounded by them. Tear gas them until they can’t stand. Zip tie ‘em, charge ‘em and book them. Then, make every last one appear in court with their parents and force the law.
Or, let ‘em wreck the joint.
Geesh, where in the world were their parents during their childhood? I’m being facetious of all of the above of course, but the root issue is the complete lack of proper upbringing.
Mine are off on their own now, but we discussed this a bit after church last weekend, and my youngest simple said they didn’t have a “here”.
He meant that church and family on Sunday – that moral compass, and the kid is right.
When we have a feral cat problem here, we catch them, neuter them, inoculate them, tag them, then return them to the wild, where liberals (mostly women) will feed them until they eventually get run over while crossing the street.
