As Twitchy reported Friday, Seth Rogen didn’t have much sympathy for a fellow Angeleno whose car was broken into; “Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city,” Rogen replied, adding, “Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat.”
A lot of people are tagging Rogen in their replies to this story about a security guard who was shot and killed while protecting a TV news crew covering a flash mob robbery in Oakland, California. Besides stealing from boutiques, the criminals thought they’d help themselves to some camera equipment.
California's robbery epidemic became deadly today.
A security guard protecting a local news crew covering another flash mob robbery was shot on Wednesday after a group of armed robbers tried to steal camera equipment.
He died this morning. Senseless.https://t.co/jXWOEtnvFr

We mourn the loss of retired police officer Kevin Nishita who honorably served our Bay Area Community. He was protecting/guarding a local news crew when he was senselessly murdered. Today, we escorted his body from the hospital with full law enforcement honors. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/ZbKRn7J732

Literally an armed, deadly attack on journalists.
The CNN, NBC, NYT, MSNBC, CBS coverage will be simply overwhelming.
Surely. https://t.co/IKSlWq01Wn

CNN’s Jim Acosta writes that it’s “a dangerous time to tell the truth in America” from his studio set because the president’s tweets are mean.

Was this the kind of treat Seth Rogan was talking about?

All part and parcel of living in a big city, right @Sethrogen ?

San Fran and particularly Oakland news crews – this is local news and let that sink in – have long had to hire armed security to cover certain stories.

This is the California that media and liberals want. RIP to that guard.

So the flash mob came armed!

I’m sure it was a mostly peaceful robbery.

It’s just property.

Looting is now just life in the big city, and besides, people are just stealing bread to feed their families and the stores have insurance, so nobody gets hurt, right?
