SAN FRANCISCO–WBBM CBS 2 cameraman Marcus Richardson was on assignment from his Chicago TV station to work Super Bowl 50 this week. One of his assignments was to film some of San Francisco’s beauty shots. Richardson was reportedly filming the world’s most curviest street Lombard Street. It was reported that Richardson was held up at gun point for his wallet, keys, and camera equipment.
Richardson told his station WBBM “they took everything, I’m at a complete loss of words and I’m sad beyond belief this is the lowest I’ve ever been doing this job, criminals suck” San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee had prepared law enforcement officials to remove the homeless wherever they are and move them out of sight from downtown so that the NFL officials, players, media, fans and tourist don’t have to see them during Super Bowl 50 week.
Lee received a lot of criticism for removing them and the homeless advocates even staged a protest rally on Market Street near the Super City set up to demonstrate against Lee’s decision. Lee feeling the heat didn’t say “I told you so” when Richardson got robbed but sources say City Hall said that this is the reason why the city had to remove the homeless. This is ridiculous the homeless are what they are homeless not criminals and robbers. Richardson’s robbery had nothing to do with the homeless.
