I saw this news at SFGate.com:
I think the main issue is stopping crime before it starts. Both of these incidents happened around the close of business. Why no cameras in either place? What about other deterent devices? Or is this a time to encourage gun ownership?

Oakland police today are investigating two restaurant robberies that occurred within minutes of each other on Sunday night.
The first robbery happened at about 9:35 p.m. at the Bay Fung Tong Seafood Tea House at 1916 Franklin St. in downtown Oakland. Three armed men robbed people of their cash or wallets and took money from the business, police said. No one was injured in the takeover robbery.
At about 9:42 p.m., a man robbed the Grégoire takeout restaurant at 4001 Piedmont Ave. One person was hurt during that robbery but did not need medical treatment, police said.
No arrests have been made in the robberies, and it was not immediately known whether the two cases were related.

Guns? Well I believe every Oaklander should own one, rather than only the thugs. Though if one had been pulled out in a crowded restaurant, several people may have ended up dead instead of poorer.
