Anti-Israel Wall Street analyst pays big time after he's caught on video telling Jewish American to 'go back to your country'



An anti-Israel Wall Street analyst just paid a huge price after he was caught on video telling a Jewish American to "go back to your country" and covering Israeli hostage posters with signs calling Israel an “apartheid state” that commits “genocide."

Journalist Andy Ngo identified the male caught on the video as Kurush Mistry. The New York Post — which called Mistry a Wall Street analyst — reported that sources confirmed his identity to the Financial Times.

Ngo soon added that Freepoint Commodities fired Mistry. Freepoint said in a Nov. 11 statement that an "individual involved" in a "recent antisemitic incident reported on social media ... is no longer associated with Freepoint” and that the company “does not tolerate discrimination and hate speech directed against any group.”

Here's the video, which Ngo said was recorded Nov. 9. Content warning: Language:

Ngo identified the woman with Mistry as his wife, Shailja Gupta, and said they're both Indian nationals. Ngo added that he received the video from the person who recorded it and that the confrontation took place on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 68th Street and Riverside Boulevard.

'Go back to your country!'

The man recording the video asked the man covering up posters of Israeli hostages for his name, and the woman with him said, “None of your f***ing business, dude. F*** off!” as they both gave the middle finger to the man recording the video.

The man in the clip soon held up the flyer being used to cover the Israeli hostage posters, which read, “Israel is an apartheid state and commits genocide.”

“Go live in Israel … go back to your country!” he told the man recording the video, who soon replied, “I’m an American. ... I’m an American Jew.”

Oddly, the woman later claimed she's from "Palestine" and called the man recording the video an “uneducated prick” for saying it's not a country. She also accused Israelis of being “rapists" and claimed that she'd "already proved" the assertion.

Anything else?

Ngo in his X posts noted that Mistry had been a New York City-based oil analyst with Freepoint. The Post said Freepoint is based in Stamford, Connecticut, and that Mistry — according to his LinkedIn profile, which was down as of Wednesday afternoon — had worked there for nine years and was previously employed by Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.

The paper added that Mistry refused to meet with reporters Wednesday and that the doorman "outside his luxury apartment building — which includes amenities such as a steam room, Pilates studio, and a large, heated indoor pool — bore the brunt of his ire."

The doorman was quoted by the Post as saying, "I didn’t let them in. You don’t have to yell at me,” as he pulled a phone away from his ear.

'Progressive' freelance writer branded a 'racist' for reportedly accosting a random Asian man who he thought was journalist Andy Ngo



A self-described "progressive" freelance writer reportedly accosted an Asian man who he believed to be journalist Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. However, Ngo said the writer bullied a random Asian man because he was not in the state of Louisiana at the time of the harassment.

Thor Benson is a freelance writer for left-wing media outlets such as The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, NBC News, and Business Insider. On Friday at 1:26 a.m., Benson proudly boasted on Twitter: "I just ran into Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. I politely told him he's a 'garbage person.' Lol."

"I was at a dive bar and he came in and started talking to people and I put my hand on his shoulder and said it and then went out for a cigarette," Benson said of the alleged encounter.

Benson claimed that the man he harassed "just left," adding, "I think my comment made him nervous lol."

I just ran into Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. I politely told him he's a "garbage person." Lol
— Thor Benson (@Thor Benson) 1649395586

Some of Benson's followers advocated that he should have assaulted the man at the bar.

One of Benson's followers replied, "Did you throw a whiskey sour with a brick garnish at him? He needs the attention."

Thor Benson, a white freelance writer, thought he found me & instead harassed a random Asian in New Orleans & made him leave a bar. Benson's followers said the man should've been assaulted. @TracyConnor @CorinneIOZO you okay w/your contributor doing this?https://twitter.com/thor_benson/status/1512300815549186049\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/C1NBGxq9VQ

However, Ngo disputes Benson's story.

"Thor Benson, a freelance contributor to @thedailybeast, @PopSci & others tried to racially profile me in public & instead ended up harassing a random Asian victim," Ngo wrote on Twitter. "Benson announced this proudly & his followers urged violence against the man."

Ngo pointed out that he was "live streaming on GETTR on Thursday night" around the time that Benson claimed he confronted the journalist.

The Post Millennial – where Ngo is the editor-at-large – reported: "Ngo, a Portland, Oregon, native, was not even in New Orleans, nor Louisiana, at the time Benson approached the stranger and harassed him until he left."

Reactions to the situation blasted Benson for the alleged confrontation and branded him a "racist."

Podcast host Lauren Chen: "White journalist harasses random Asian person at bar wrongly thinking he's Andy Ngo Because I guess we all look the same."

BlazeTV host Steven Crowder: "I don't throw this term around flippantly. But you are a genuinely racist, pathetic excuse for a man. And you deserve everything coming your way."

Journalist Jonathan Choe: "ASIAN MEN BEWARE: It's a good thing the Asian American Journalists Association Convention @aaja won’t be in New Orleans this year. @thor_benson and some of his followers are going after Asian guys who look like @MrAndyNgo but they got the wrong Asian. #StopAsianHate."

Attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon: "Bigot can’t tell different Asians apart. Who is the garbage person?"

Editor JD Rucker: "It wasn't actually Andy Ngo but I guess we all look the same to racists."

Journalist Ian Miles Cheong: "Liberals are now harassing random Asians because they can’t tell them apart from Andy Ngo."

Columnist Rita Panahi: "Racist Leftist loser thinks all Asians look alike. Abuses random Asian guy & comes on Twitter to brag about it."

Author Douglas Murray: "It wasn’t him. And you’re a racist. You gonna do this to black guys next? If they look like other guys you hate?"

Former Acting Director of the United States National IntelligenceRichard Grenell: "Yesterday’s champions of diversity are today’s intolerants."

Commentator Stephen L. Miller: "'Andy Ngo is the white supremacist' screams the guy chasing random Asians out of bars because I guess they all look the same."

Editor Chadwick Moore: "You racially profiled a random Asian man you thought was Andy and then accosted him LOL #StopAsianHate."

Keith Olbermann shared a fake screenshot claiming that Ngo was assaulted by a sex toy, a claim that Ngo declared, "That’s a fake tweet that was made by a far-left account to fool gullible people like you."

The fake screenshot reported swirled around the internet in August 2021 after being shared by an account that has since been suspended.

Ngo gained national attention for his reporting of Antifa in Portland – which has drawn the ire of left-wingers.

Ngo was attacked in June 2019 for being a journalist and covering an Antifa rally in Portland. He was taken to the hospital for his injuries.

In June 2021, Ngo was once again assaulted by leftwing assailants during a protest in Portland.


Milwaukee DA: Whoopsie, Waukesha Suspect Darrell Brooks was Accidentally Released on $1000 Bond



Details are still coming out about Darrell Brooks, the suspect who drove through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He's being charged with a mass casualty event. One question on everyone's mind is why this violent felon was even out of jail. He had been released on bond two days ago, and the bond was only $1000. We have an answer to that: It's because the Milwaukee District Attorney's office f*cked up.


That would be this individual from a prior arrest. (He has a very long criminal record.) #Waukesha https://t.co/6uAcsV97zE pic.twitter.com/mc2JFfbVRP

BREAKING: The Milwaukee Co. District Attorney says Waukesha suspect Darrell Brooks should not have been released on such a low cash bond earlier this month. They are conducting an internal review.#Waukesha #waukeshaChristmasParade pic.twitter.com/GmUNOkwLpg
— Kristen Barbaresi (@KristenBarbar) November 22, 2021

"The State's bail recommendation in this case was inappropriately low in light of the recent charges and pending charges against Mr. Brooks."

Mr. Brooks was in jail for domestic abuse.

"The bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County district attorney's office."

Funny. Because earlier, what we learned about Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm, is that this sounds very consistent with his approach. Chisolm is said to have, quote, "a track record of […] releasing prolific offenders, as well as not filing charges against them."

"The office is currently conducting an internal review of the decision to make the recent bail recommendation in this manner in order to determine the appropriate next steps."

If the narrative being pushed right now is to be believed, that Chisolm committed another crime with a knife and was being chased when he plowed into a parade, he was only free to be there because of the low $1000 bail. The appropriate next step would be for the person responsible to be forced to attend every funeral wearing a sign that says "I'm to blame."

Racist CNN Has NOTHING to Say About Waukesha Parade Perp. Wonder Why? | Louder With Crowderyoutu.be

NPR ripped for now-deleted tweet noting 'disappointment' after Boston elected its first person of color as mayor. Why? Michelle Wu isn't black.



Well, that was awkward.

Far-left leaning National Public Radio got an earful Tuesday after tweeting about Michelle Wu becoming the first woman and first person of color to take office as Boston's mayor.

What are the details?

And why would that be controversial? Because the second part of NPR's tweet noted the "disappointment" felt over the fact that black candidates weren't anywhere near Wu in the hunt for victory.

The now-deleted tweet read, "Michelle Wu, an Asian American, is the first woman of color elected to lead the city. While many are hailing it as a turning point, others see it as a more of a disappointment that the three Black candidates couldn't even come close."

And notable observers didn't take kindly to the tweet:

According to Independent Journal Review, the headline of NPR's related story initially read, "Cheers and some letdown as 1st elected woman and person of color becomes Boston Mayor."

But that all changed hours later, IJR said.

It seems NPR got the message that they were out of line loud and clear, and the outlet said it deleted the initial "disappointment" tweet and did a do-over: "We realize we don't always get things right the first time, and our previous tweet/headline misrepresented the story. We deleted the previous tweet, which was causing harm, and have updated the story."

We realize we don't always get things right the first time, and our previous tweet/headline misrepresented the story. \n\nWe deleted the previous tweet, which was causing harm, and have updated the story

— NPR (@NPR) 1637087776

The story's new headline reads, "Why Boston will need to wait longer for its 1st elected Black mayor."

However, the opening paragraph of the story still reads much the same as the problematic initial tweet: "For the first time in its history, Boston is inaugurating a newly-elected mayor on Tuesday who is not a white man. Michelle Wu — who's Asian American — is the first woman and first person of color elected to lead the city. While many are hailing it as a major turning point, others see it as more of a disappointment that the three Black candidates in the race couldn't even come close."

Trans woman who's a registered sex offender charged in Wi Spa penis exposure incident; suspect claims allegations are 'garbage and lies'



In the wake of a June viral video from a woman outraged that a "naked" man was allowed to enter a female-only section of Wi Spa in Los Angeles, the LAPD said Thursday they launched an investigation into the allegations.

Police said five people issued complaints about the incident, detectives corroborated the allegations of indecent exposure and identified the suspect as Darren Merager, 52, of Riverside County.

What happened next?

Police added in a news release that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on Monday charged Merager with five felony counts of indecent exposure and issued an arrest warrant. Police added that the suspect has been a registered sex offender since 2006 due to indecent exposure incidents in 2002 and 2003.

Conservative writer Andy Ngo — reporting for the New York Post — broke the story Thursday prior to the LAPD issuing the news release, noting that "charges of indecent exposure were discretely filed against a serial sex offender" in connection with the incident. Ngo also reported that he spoke exclusively with Merager.

4 women & a minor girl, all people of color, came forward to identify themselves as victims at Wi Spa. Merager, the… https://t.co/dH2YrLBtCC

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) 1630600297.0

What are the details?

The Post article details quite a bit more than police revealed, saying "sources with knowledge of the case but not authorized to speak publicly say four women and a minor girl came forward to allege that Darren Agee Merager was partially erect in the women's section of Wi Spa. Besides being a suspect in this case, Merager is facing multiple felony charges of indecent exposure over a separate incident in Los Angeles."

Merager denied the Wi Spa allegations to the Post and claimed being the victim of transphobic harassment — but also was "in contact with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office since learning of the warrant and plans to turn herself in."

More from the paper:

Law-enforcement sources revealed that Merager is a tier-one registered sex offender with two prior convictions of indecent exposure stemming from incidents in 2002 and 2003 in California. She declined to comment on the convictions. In 2008, she was convicted for failing to register as a sex offender. [...]

In addition to Merager's new felony charges of indecent exposure, she is also facing six felony counts of indecent exposure over a separate locker room incident in December 2018. Los Angeles County prosecutors accuse Merager of indecent exposure to women and children in a changing area at a swimming pool in West Hollywood Park.

The paper's story also included an image of what it said is a 2018 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department flyer sent to southern California authorities saying "Merager claims to identify as female so he can access women's locker rooms and showers."

Merager has pleaded not guilty to all six counts stemming from the 2018 locker room incident, the paper said, adding that Merager's next court date in relation to it is Sept. 8.

The Post added that Merager's bail in relation to the incident was set at $150,000 in early 2019, which was paid.

What's the background on the Wi Spa incident?

Instagram user cubanaangel — who claimed the June cellphone video is hers — wrote the following caption: "NAKED MAN ALLOWED WOMEN DAY SPA. Los Angeles, California. Wi Spa allows a man into women's wet spa section where all the women are naked, mothers with there young daughters and teens. The Wi Spa allowed the man access just because he calls himself a woman. This man was naked [exposing] his testicles and penis slinging left to right in front of young girls, teens, and grown women. What is our world coming to[?]"

The woman recording the clip blasted a Wi Spa employee over what she said she saw.

"It's OK for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around the other women — young little girls, underage?" the woman asks the employee. "Wi Spa condones that — is that what you're saying?"

Image source: YouTube screenshot

When the employee made reference to the man's "sexual orientation," the woman replied, "What sexual orientation? I see a d**k! It lets me know he's a man … he is not a female!"

She added that women there were "highly offended for what they just saw, and you did absolutely nothing. In fact, you sided with him!" The woman also asked, "So, Wi Spa is in agreement with men that just say they are women, and they can go down there with their penis, and get into the women's section? Is that what you're saying?"

Another woman at the counter who overheard the dustup requested a refund, and at the end of the clip, another woman — presumably a spa employee — noted that the naked man should not have been allowed in the female section.

The Post said "cubanaangel" and her attorney, Marc Little, declined to comment for its story.

Following the incident, Los Angeles Magazine said Wi Spa issued a statement pointing to state law prohibiting businesses from discriminating against trans and other gender non-conforming people.

"Like many other metropolitan areas, Los Angeles contains a transgender population, some of whom enjoy visiting a spa," the statement added, according to the magazine. "Wi Spa strives to meet the needs of all its customers."

What did Merager have to say to the Post?

The paper said that as of Thursday Merager has not been arrested in connection to the Wi Spa incident, but the suspect — who claimed to be legally female in California — told the Post that "everything about the Wi Spa was a bunch of garbage and lies."

Merager also claimed to be in a jacuzzi in the women's section when confronted by "cubanaangel" who "never saw me naked," the paper reported. Merager added to the Post that "I was underwater with water all the way up to my chest."

The paper also said Merager denied ever being erect or around children at the spa and claimed being the victim of sexual harassment by transphobic women there.

More from the Post:

A law passed by California Democrats that went into effect this year replaced the state's lifetime registration requirement to a tiered system. The law allows lower-tiered sex offenders to petition to be removed from the list. However, Merager is not eligible due to ongoing criminal charges. She also has a long criminal history in California that includes nearly a dozen felony convictions for crimes ranging from sex offenses to burglary and escape.

But Merager told the paper that the multiple accusations and charges demonstrate a "pattern of abuse" from a state and society that punishes transgender people: "You allow [trans women] to go in [women's spaces] and then people simply claim indecent exposure, and you're arrested."

Merager also claimed to the Post of speaking to progressive California lawmakers such as state Sen. Scott Wiener in the hopes they change state law to better protect trans people: "If you go into an area where you're expected to be nude, there has to be an indecent exposure exemption."

Anything else?

The Wi Spa exposure allegations led to a pair of violent clashes in July between protesters angry at the spa and far-left counter-protesters led by — you guessed it — Antifa.

A July 6 Los Angeles Times editorial asserted that Wi Spa "did the right thing" defending a "transgender customer" being "nude in the women's area."

Finally, Slate ran a July 9 piece on the Wi Spa controversy with the following headline: "Violence Over an Alleged Transphobic Hoax Shows the Danger of Underestimating Anti-Trans Hate." But now Ngo's findings detailed in his Post piece are noted at the very top of an updated version of the Slate story.

What's more, the author of the Slate story, Evan Urquhart — who identifies as a "trans journo" — noted in what appears to be a now-deleted Thursday tweet that "it is with great annoyance that I must report I'm talking with my editor about an update to my piece on the transphobic Wi Spa riots, to reflect the fact that the New York Post is reporting charges have been brought against someone alleged to have been there."

Urquhart — whose tweets are now protected — apparently added that "anyone who follows me, or who read my piece, will know that I've never said the video that caused the riots was a hoax — I've said it was more likely a hoax than not."

Looks like it's turning out to be one big "not."

Screaming mom crashes Portland press conference, goes ballistic on media for ignoring blatant attack on family church service



A Portland, Oregon, mother is making headlines after she crashed a Don't Shoot PDX press conference in the Rose City and castigated the media for ignoring the recent attack on a family prayer service.

What are the details?

Jamee Anatello said that she and her family — including five children — were attending the early August prayer service at Tom McCall Park in Portland when a vast group of black-clad Antifa members showed up and began throwing flash grenades into the crowd.

One of the grenades, Anatello said, nearly struck her 8-month-old daughter in the face, the Christian Post reported.

"I've always judged the events really well," she told the outlet of the event, a church service led by controversial Canada-based Pastor Artur Pawlowski. "What's safe to take my kids to, what's not. It never once crossed my mind that this would be an event [Antifa] would show up."

The local media, Anatello said, largely ignored the attacks and zeroed in on the purported presence of the Proud Boys.

"No Proud Boys were present that day," Anatello, who is black, insisted. "No local media has taken my story. I spoke with two different stations, and they rejected it. I believe that the reason they have not taken my story is because the narrative around here is that the Proud Boys are white supremacists when they're not. And people around here just refuse to name Antifa as dangerous."

She also said that Antifa is supposed to care about the Black Lives Matter movement, but she doesn't believe that is true.

"They've been seen on video harassing and being violent toward gay people, Asians, black people, transgenders, and the media has stayed silent toward that," she insisted. "I want people to know that ... that is who they are. They are racist and ... dangerous."

The outlet reported that when Anatello learned that some media were planning to attend a press conference with purported Antifa-aligned groups such as Don't Shoot Portland and the Oregon Justice Resource Center, she decided to show up and make her voice heard.

According to the report, Anatello took over the event, proclaimed that Antifa are a huge problem in Portland and are causing massive violence across the city, and turned her sights on the news outlets, insisting that they are "part of the problem" by refusing to call out Antifa's role in the church service attack.

"Antifa black bloc are the ones who threw bombs, mortars, and pepper spray at me and my children," she revealed. “My baby girl ... was nearly hit in the face with an explosive by white people dressed up in all black attacking me and my family!"

She continued, "My black children were almost hit with bombs and mortars! My nine-year-old son was drenched in pepper gas thrown by Antifa!"

"You, you, you, and you are the problem!" she screamed, pointing to the local media. "Every single local news station denied my story."

Appalling video shows Antifa militants attacking a group of Christians who were participating in a prayer event at a park in Portland, Oregon.

Outspoken Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski organized a worship event at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland. Pawlowski has gained notoriety and a large following after he fought back against coronavirus crackdowns on in-person worship services in Canada.

Antifa allegedly targeted Christians, including children, in the park by throwing projectiles, including rotten eggs.

"Antifa just rolled in like an angry mob, started throwing flash bombs at everybody, macing everybody ... rotten eggs," a woman is heard saying on video. "They threw a flash bomb into a group of kids that were out there from four months old to like 10."

The Antifa members sprayed red and yellow gas at the worshippers.

"All Cops are B*******, in the name of Jesus," an anti-police man was heard saying, mocking the religious service. Another Antifa member screamed, "Where is your god now?"

"Several speakers preached to the crowd of perhaps a few more than 50, while the original group dressed in black appeared to consider the confrontation a success," the Portland Tribune reported. "But soon a dozen or so counter-protesters trickled over to the memorial, leading to shouting matches."

The counter-protesters were reportedly members of the Proud Boys.

"Antifa had threatened to beat people up and do what they do — and then they showed up and did it," a member of the Proud Boys told the Portland Tribune. "The police were not even far from there and they were laughing in their vehicles and doing their thing. It's probably hard to care as an officer in a place where they take away all your funding."

The clashes between the left-wing Antifa and the right-wing Proud Boys continued outside of the park. The two groups shot paintballs and sprayed each other while a police officer watched and didn't intervene.

There were no arrests made during the squabbles, according to the Portland Police Bureau.

WATCH: Activists occupy vacant NYC store, say black NYPD officer is a 'slave catcher working for KKK,' engage in violent clashes with police



A wild scene unfolded in New York City on Saturday after activists commandeered a vacant retail property. When NYPD officers evicted the squatters from the retail space that didn't belong to them, activists became furious and went on tirades against the police officers and even became violent.

Activists posted a bulletin on July 20 that read: "Community members took back the vacant commercial space at 1083 Broadway. Vacancy is community neglect, we demand that this resource be under collective control, to serve the community here forward."

The left-wing activists dubbed the occupied space as "The Gym," and said the vacant store provided "an open place of rest, discussion, bbqs, dancing, and connecting people to social services."

The activists demand that the landlords, Dodworth Development Corp, "turn over usage of the space to those . . . who have cared for their property and each other for the past year," according to Bushwick Daily. The activists declared that "landlords are integral to the systemic exploitation and neglect of the Brooklyn/Myrtle's corridors since the 1970s."

When workers reportedly attempted to access the commercial space, which has allegedly been vacant since August 2020, the activists began occupying the building to stop them from gaining access. Police were then called to remove the squatters from the commercial space and use bolt cutters to remove the locks the activists had put on the doors, which were also barricaded from the inside. Police reportedly needed to use a chainsaw to get inside the commandeered space.

Independent reporter Elad Eliahu, who covers events in New York City, attempted to document the situation. Activists employed Antifa-like tactics to prevent him from recording video, including using an umbrella to block his camera.

Eliahu posted videos from the scene in Brooklyn, including one activist being thrown to the ground by police after attempting to enter the vacant retail space.

The idea that police officers evolve from "slave catchers" has been pushed by Black Lives Matter leaders in the past.

However, the first police department in the United States was founded in New York City in 1844, according to Britannica. "Other cities soon followed suit: New Orleans and Cincinnati (Ohio) in 1852; Boston and Philadelphia in 1854; Chicago and Milwaukee (Wis.) in 1855; and Baltimore (Md.) and Newark (N.J.) in 1857."

In 1799, New York state enacted the "Gradual Emancipation act that freed slave children born after July 4, 1799, but indentured them until they were young adults," according to the New-York Historical Society. "In 1817 a new law passed that would free slaves born before 1799 but not until 1827." President Abraham Lincoln issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862.

VIDEO: Violent clashes erupt between Antifa and police during protests over naked transgender person at Wi Spa in LA: 'Antifa's gonna kill you!'



Los Angeles Police Department officers and Antifa militants engaged in violent clashes on Saturday during protests sparked by the incident where a biological man, who identified as a female, was reportedly naked at a California spa in front of women and young girls in late June. There were dueling demonstrations outside the Wi Spa in Los Angeles, which escalated when police attempted to separate a protest by Antifa and transgender activists from a counter-protest by religious demonstrators, conservatives, and feminist activists.

Independent journalist Brendan Gutenschwager covered the protests and the ensuing violence, and posted video of the confrontations, which became violent at times.

Terrifying video shows moment Good Samaritan is pistol-whipped trying to stop robbers from battering elderly Asian man



An alarming video shows a brazen robbery being committed in the middle of the day in Oakland. The terrifying video shows cowardly thugs targeted an elderly Asian man who needed the assistance of a cane to walk down the street. When a good Samaritan attempted to stop the robbers from beating the old man, he, too, was bludgeoned in broad daylight.

At approximately 3:15 pm on Thursday, two robbers attacked an elderly Asian man on 9th Street in Oakland's Chinatown. The thieves, one of which was armed, shoved the old man to the ground and robbed him at gunpoint. The armed man pistol-whipped the elderly man, according to a statement released by the Oakland Police Department. The elderly man can be heard bellowing in pain. The old man's cane can be seen on the ground in the video that was taken by a witness in a nearby building.

Another individual, who appears to be wearing a bicycle helmet, attempted to thwart the robbery, but he too is beaten to the ground. The gunman pistol-whipped the good Samaritan in the face with a handgun equipped with an extended magazine. The man fell to the sidewalk, and the blow appeared to be so devastating that part of the helmet flew apart.

The robbers fled from the crime scene in a getaway vehicle that was driven by a third suspect.

The Oakland Police Department described the attackers as "two individuals as black males in their 20's." Police did not have a description of the getaway driver.

Authorities said an investigation is ongoing, and asked the public to give any information related to the attack to investigators at (510) 238-3326.

2 Pistol-Whipped in Brazen Daytime Robbery in Oakland www.youtube.com

This is the second horrifying robbery from the Oakland area that garnered national headlines this week. In nearby Emeryville, cell phone footage from a witness showed two women attacked in a California parking garage in broad daylight. The women were seen being robbed as they screamed for help. The attackers stole the belongings of the women and the rental car they were traveling in.

Oakland's City Council voted to reallocate $18 million of police funding to community violence prevention programs last month. Ironically, only days after the announcement that the Oakland Police Department would be defunded, a TV crew were robbed of their equipment while interviewing Oakland's violence prevention director on the steps of City Hall.

At a press conference on June 28, Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said the murder rate in the California city is 90% higher than it was this time last year. Armstrong also noted that shootings at up more than 70% and carjackings have spiked by 87% this year, plus there have been 1,300 robberies recorded this year so far.
