Don Perata's Dodge Charger was taken for its chrome rims...
[/URL]":9zxs2yg8]Asked if it is a common occurrence in Oakland, Green replied, "Senators getting robbed? Not too often." Carjackings, on the other hand, happen about once a day, he said.

Perata says he doesn't anticipate any new legislation coming out of the incident.

"I've been doing gun control for 20 years, and this confirms what I've always believed," he said. "This is simply a punctuation of my long career on this issue."

What a dunce. Thanks to people like him, it is difficult to protect one's own life in California, and he's the State Senate President Pro Tem. :evil:

Maybe the good Senator from California should submit a bill to the legislature making car-jackings illegal. Then everyone would be safe.

I have a better idea. Take away all cars in California and then there wouldn't be any car-jackings.

Can we say, "What a Moron?"

He was lucky, that's all. And all he did was laugh about it, jeeesh. I would have been a bit more concerned for my safety than this idiot was. Sure he felt a bit rubbery, who wouldn't, but his nonchalant attitude reveals the true sense of idiocy he has about him.

On another note, how frequently would the common citizen have been afforded this same luxury;

"Perata was driven to his Oakland home and provided with a security detail, in case the assailants returned, police said."

Personally I think if he hadn't been a senator this wouldn't have happened. The most I have ever seen has been comments to the nature of, "If anything else happens, please give us a call. Here's my card."

atleast he is standing his ground. Way to often people sway with the slightest breeze

what a crock of crap. HE gets a private security detail???? Well, what are the chances of them coming back to get him? Brother. BOYCOT California....LOL

Did you know that the Surgeon General has a warning out? It reads something like this "Stupid Senators from California have been known to have a chemical that is known to the State of California to cause cancer".

Ok, back to my hole now.

The words hypocrite and elitist come to mind here…

Link:
Perata, who legally carried a concealed weapon for years because of threats against his life, said there was no firearm in his car when he was carjacked.

The words typical and not surprising come to my mind. The biggest anti-gun people typically have a CWP and/or lots of armed body guards.

Some animals are more equal than others, remember?
