Hero of the Day: Phil Tagami, Oakland Developer who Defended his Property

Phil Tagami

In Oakland California where the Occupy movement went on a rioting rampage, spray painting buildings. smashing windows, sitting fires and looting, Oakland developer Phil Tagami did not sit idly by and let it happen to his property. He took a shotgun, which he usually keeps at home, to his downtown landmark office building and stood inside in view holding the gun. While the building did get minor spray painting, it was otherwise undamaged. For daring to stand up to a mob and defend his property, Phil Tagami is my hero of the day.
