Dude is 77 years old going up against three people. His life was in danger.

[StevenRodriguez-sk]

The fact they have a 77 year old man in jail they should be ashamed

[scottjohnson]

Don't steal a car and trespass on someone's property and you won't be in a coroner's van.

[mikebenson]

If the 77 year old was unarmed, these three burgulars killed the homeowner with the crowbar and got away. Then every thing will be O, K.
No wonder Oakland is all messed up!

[sidneyvandykeii]

3 burglars in a STOLEN car carrying a crowbar and a replica gun. Yet the 77 year old homeowner is in jail? Pathetic.

[houndsofvalor]

3 on 1 on his property and they were armed with a crowbar? Guy defended himself. Should have never been arrested. Oakland is a disgrace.

What in hell?
I am a retired Kentucky Probation and Parole Officer.
I don’t care what part of the body they were shot in. They were inside the house without permission. Any reasonable person would believe the three were in his house to commit a crime.

There is a robbery in Oakland every 60 seconds. And you’re wasting your resources on this 77 year-old man come on.

[jillpatton]

Oakland is a cesspool of crime and you're arresting a homeowner for shooting an intruder?

[antster]

DA is ass backwards. Arresting a home owner that shoots a robber but refuse to charge a stabbing suspect

[JoseFlores-mwit]

The 77-year-old man should be the new Oakland Police Sheriff.

[anthonydinuzzo]

All involved with the arrest of this 77 year old should be in prison... PERIOD!

[ericklou]

You can’t even defend yourself as a senior citizen anymore in your own property? Ridiculous

[Alan-phiu]

"You're not supposed to chase them."

A 77 year old man chasing 3 young punks? Give me a break.

[MrRubme]

3 vs a 77 year old man is considered self defense. How is that so hard to understand?

[hunterphan]

WTF? The homeowner should sue the City.

[danedaniels]

Meanwhile in Oakland, a black thug dragged an elderly Asian woman by her hair across a street. She died of her injuries. DA Pamela Price has declined to file chargers and the man remains free.

[retiredlogman]

The woman says no assumptions should be made. Then why did you arrest the homeowner ????

[anonymouscitizen]

Was he supposed to wait for the fucking cops. Bullshit!

[dougritter]

A 77 yr old is not afraid of 3 thugs? Oakland is punishing the victim and siding with the criminals.
