Sheriff: Craigslist buyer shot during transaction in Lathrop:
A man from Sacramento, California was shot during a robbery in Lathrop, California. The man traveled to Lathrop in order to buy some laptops from a craigslist seller. I wonder if the laptops were of the ‘fruited’ variety.
Anyway the seller turned out to be a robber. The pair struggled for the gun held by the assailant. The man was able to get the gun away but not before being shot twice. Luckily the injuries he sustained were not life threatening.
Again if craigslist took away the perceived notion of anonymity on their site or even started *gasp* charging for ads this wouldn’t be such a common occurrence.
