Oakland - The War on Guns

Life in the Freedom-Free Zone

Some people called into question the gun ad’s legality. [More]

I question the Constitutionality of needing a permit from the police.

These people deserve every bit of crime their elected Democrat leaders throw their way.

Thau Shalt Not Steal

Ousted Oakland Mayor Bitterly Clung to Power, Casting Votes After Recall – Sheng Thao cast tie-breaking votes on 2 ordinances, 12 days after her term as mayor officially ended. Thao now faces six federal corruption charges. [More]

Oh, those wacky “gun sense candidates“…

Another MAIG success story…

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…

Honor Hmong Thieves?

FBI raids home connected to Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao day after recall effort qualifies for ballot [More]

Just please reassure me she won’t become another prohibited person in favor of disarming you…

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.

Proud Waves Your Banner in the Sky!

The sound of bullets pierced the air at what should have been a momentous occasion at Skyline High School’s graduation Thursday evening, sending students and their families running for cover up in Oakland’s hills. [More]

Nope, it’s nothing like this:

Hey, I find that mascot racist!

Stopping the Violence

8 armed suspects ransacked the legacy Oakland Chinatown business Phuong Jewelry yesterday at around 12:30.

The family tells me, in less than one minute 85-90% of their inventory was taken.

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?

The Content of Her Character

Oakland’s progressive DA Pamela Price says those funding recall campaign against her are filled with ‘hatred and racism,’ after violent crime soared 21% in dying California city [More]

Sorry, but when I note where, the most relevant question to ask is “How do they vote?”

[Via Michael G]

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?
