Oh yeah, I have been down in that area some years ago...Whew...lucky to get out alive, just like the eastern part of Oakland....hobie16 wrote:Now I understand. I had to go to Hunters Point Naval Ship Yard on occasion to work on systems the Coast Guard had installed on their cutters. Hunters Point is one of the worst neighborhoods in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. There were a few times I thought about carrying protection but never did.

On the news last night they interviewed the woman security guard who shot the crazy at the church down in the Springs. He had 2 handguns, a rifle and 1000 rounds. They discovered a blog entry at a web site that he had made. that said he blamed Christians for everything and was going to take out as many as he could. If that woman guard had not been armed and was a former police officer (so she was HIGHLY trained) there would have been a massacre there. As it was he killed 4 people before she was able to shoot him. There are crazies everywhere. We have to thank God for the circumstances that put this security guard in that place at that time. May there be more guards in the future that could stop these acts. I hate to live in a police state, but these were guards that the church had and were very surreptitious. No one knew they were even there and they were volunteers, unpaid!
