    this is one of the terrorist action in USA by Americans themselves. If u dont get in and out from our home safely and if u r surrounded by fear, it means terror is in action. Before going to war by the name of terrorism let us fight our own people from terrorizing us.

    Dear Business Owners:
    Prepare for the worst case cenario.
    These will be helpful advise:

    1. Hire security person in and out side the store. (If it is possible).
    2. Need another helper to deposit all big cash into the bank.
    3. Use all other legal means to protect yourself. Self defense is comes first.

    #1 Me, you have taken this whole robbery thing to the next level and calling it terrorism. It’s simply some lifeless people trying to shake up and scare business owners. Once they’re caught they will realize how stupid their actions have been.

    Sad thing is that Oakland is a beautiful city and gets a bad rap because some of its residents doing the wrong thing.
