Oakland gas station owner sidelined after police allegedly take hours to respond to flash mob robbery

The owner of an Oakland, California, gas station was sidelined by a flash mob robbery that saw dozens of criminals ransack the business on Friday, especially after police allegedly took hours to respond.

"My aunts, my uncles, were talking about [how] the U.S. is the place to be, and then you turn out to this and see something like this happen, and it's scary. It just shouldn't be happening," Sam Mardaie, a Yemeni immigrant whose store was left with approximately $100,000 worth of damage, told Fox News on Sunday.
