The Saga Continues

Here’s the latest in the Sheng Thao brouhaha.

Brass responded to the mayor’s office’s statement, calling it absolutely untrue and telling KRON4 he received no communication from Thao on Saturday about changing attorneys. [More]

So she’s out there protesting her innocence while her attorney says she’s a liar and wants nothing to do with her…?

Still, when are the feds gonna move and what’s taking them that long?

Karma Alert? Another Bloomberg Mayor Could Become a ‘Prohibited Person’

One would think the daughter of Hmong refugees taken into this country would take the time to appreciate why freedoms recognized here make it different from the tyranny her family fled. [More]

Funny, who doesn’t trust YOU with guns…

More Than Meets the Eye?

A homeowner in Oakland was arrested after shooting and killing a robbery suspect. The 77-year-old homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remained behind bars on Tuesday while the district attorney considered whether to file charges. [More]

If he listens to his lawyer and keeps his mouth shut, he ought to be able to claim self-defense, but using a stolen gun doesn’t help and they may at least get him on that– assuming he’s not a “prohibited person” and “eligibile” for more, and that this wasn’t a dispute between associates…

Law of the Jungle

One neighborhood in East Oakland is so dangerous that construction workers apparently feel unsafe. A construction crew left a residential street unpaved and refused to return because the workers did not feel safe being in the neighborhood. [More]

Something’s systemic, that’s for sure…

A civilization that tolerates this will collapse into savagery.

Brought to you by Democrats.

Stopping the Violence

No one was shot, although every one of those animals deserved ito be — and what it took was an armed citizen. Hey, can they bust him for having a gun?

Why do Democrats force good, productive people to live like this?

And why do good, productive people vote Democrat?

Insult to Injury

“For the city to not only fail to protect…small businesses but on top of that give us an invoice for doing the work that they did seems fully irrational… It’s literally the definition of kicking someone when they’re down,” he said. [More]

Would it be out of line to ask him how he votes?

Oakland PD Airhorn Advice is an Admission of Gun Control Failure

Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]

What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.

Swords into Plowshares

Oakland Police officials and nonprofit Guns to Gardens hosted an event on Saturday seeking to exchange guns for gardening tools, A’s tickets, gift cards and other items in an effort to curb gun violence. [Watch]

In Liu of the Status Quo

Such views have gained increasing numbers of adherents on the internet in recent years, especially with the rise of once-fringe candidates like Donald Trump who come to power while peddling racist myths. [More]

That statement is “news” and not “editorial”? Because what’s that say about people who support Trump’s campaign platform?

And how is this plan (flawed as it is) any worse than the one in place?

That said, Peter Liu’s rhetoric has guaranteed he can’t be elected dog catcher and based on all things considered he’s shown himself to be the wrong person to put that plan into action anyway.

We’re the Only Ones Disinterested Enough

Despite the apparent brush with death and video evidence of the encounter, it quickly became clear that the driver’s nightmare would not end after attempting to file a police report… “I called them two, three times. I figured they would want this information because there’s somebody out there and he’s going to hurt somebody.” [More]

See, the oversight was just for thuggery, not for work ethic…

We’re the Only Ones Simple Enough

Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong had a simple message Tuesday outside City Hall in the wake of a spree of deadly shootings in the city: put down the guns. [Watch]

Expecting that to make a difference is beyond simple. It’s retarded.

As is everyone in this video, starting with the incompetent “Authorized Journalists” putting the blame on “gun violence,” every self-promoting “official” spouting blather, and every “community” moron wearing an orange shirt and nodding solemnly after each buzzword.
