…. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Apparently an Apple Store in Chula Vista, California was being broken into. The mall security guard noticed (it was 7 AM, before the mall opened), gunfire was exchanged. Apparently one criminal is dead, two others in custody, one of them also wounded.
And this “journalist” says the holdup went bad?
Uh… no. I think the holdup went pretty good. And actually, this sounds like burglary, not robbery. Furthermore, how do you hold-up a store with no people in it? And to have the crime foiled… to prevent bad people from doing bad things… that’s… “going bad”? that’s “going sour”? Whose side are you on?
In other news…. since when did mall security carry guns?
Despite some media reports, there were no AK-47s involved in the incident, police said.
Ah, the media and their love of those Glock ultra-automagic AK-47 semi-assault revolvers with extended high-capacity dethklok clips.
“That’s crazy. That’s so scary. This is supposed to be a really upscale, comfortable neighborhood and for stuff like this to happen is just scary,” said resident Janae Sergio.
Bad things can and do happen anywhere and everywhere. Upscale, comfortable neighborhoods full of rich white people aren’t immune from anything. Welcome to the real world where there aren’t protective bubbles or… since we’re talking Apple here…. reality distortion fields to protect you.
“Upscale, comfortable neighborhoods full of rich white people aren’t immune from anything.”, be careful making racist assumptions. No one said anything about white people, this area is extremely integrated.
No racist assumption. It’s a general commentary about how many people tend to view the world when it comes to crime and where it happens.
One might say that “white people” are the minority in that community. The area is normally quiet and people were just really shooken up when the saw these armed robbers running in their backyard. Let’s be realistic about the fact that some areas are known for having higher crime levels than others. I guess that comment was more important than the fact that someone actually died over something so insignificant. The ONLY important part of this story was the heroic actions of this security guard that not only protected his own life but the lives of local residents and children that would be up traveling to work and school at the time this happened. Had he let them get away, someone innocent might have been hurt or killed.
