#1 "My whole thought at the moment was ’Be calm. Let’s not get this guy excited. He’s got the gun. I don’t. So you take you the camera. It’s yours, buddy,’" he said.

Sure, sure.

If the Reporters version of the story holds water and is not some self/TV Station promoting PR stunt.

I have to wonder, because the thugs stole and then ditched the camera. Which interview on the Camera was the one that had them so worried that they needed to erase it?

#3 Which interview on the Camera was the one that had them so worried that they needed to erase it?

I believe that would be the "Gavin Newsom in flagrante delicto" recording

#5 If three san franciscans steal a $2400 camera, is it then split three ways into $800 each and therefore below $1000 and not robbery?
