The root cause is a ruling class that has repudiated public safety.
Oakland already has a bad reputation, but expect similar in other (and bigger) cities in the USA. Unless there are bigc hanges from the top.
Oakland has elected to return to the libtard Stone Age
Third world here we come, open up that Golden Gate.
Yeah don’t arrest anybody just take them away. Our Post Office no longer has P.O. Boxes outside the post office because vandals were stealing the mail. So now little old people, parapalegics etc have to go walk inside.
If only there was some group that could arrest these people ...
Africans in America create Africa. That’s how ‘they’ want to live.
There needs to be a bounty on copper thieves.
So, no police, no stop signs, no lights, illegals can carry guns, but not us citizens. Sounds very much like traveling to a foreign 3rd world cess pool.
America is going through a slow-moving marxist cultural revolution.
Stalin and Mao both organized and enabled the most base and radical elements, from the lowest and least educated parts of society, to release violence on society in the name of destroying "old," conservative and religious culture associated with the bourgeoisie, the old regime, etc...
for them it was enabling illiterate peasants, ethnic minorities and "students" to shame and smash the old order
In the USA its ethnic minorities, students and lawyers used to shame and smash the old order.
In some cases, some places may be able to still "vote" their way to protect themselves, but for the country as a whole, that's highly likely.
Gee, let me think. If a city could put secret cameras in place to catch copper thieves in action and then sentence them to prison for hard labor to five years could that discourage them not to do that?
I call them Democrats. Save civilization, vote Republican.
Where I live (90% Leftist) when a small restaurant opened and added outdoor seating I knew the future would be the owner could choose to fight the derelicts and druggies, who hadn’t bathed or brushed their teeth in days, who wanted to sit there all day as noncustomers, to battle them and keep calling police day after day, or, passively just let it happen as cowards watching good customers leave the area due to being uncomfortable.
Answer: That cowardly owner gave in.
A female coworker tried going to a nice little city park in the nearby shopping district. Paved and with several flower and little tree planters.
One by one dope users and derelicts took over the benches and little tables where office workers had lunch or breaks. Set a huge bag of returnable bottles and cans down. My coworker got up to change seats once and a druggie said “You think you’re took good for me, b##@@?”
She left and he and another were laughing at her and one said “Hey, girlie, I’m gonna remember you. I got a good memory. Watch yourself tonight.”
What was a taxpayers’ city park became a derelect druggie park.
So every one who runs a stop sign after impatiently and selfishly deciding they felt like doing it and hits an innocent person will be blood on the hands of the cheap politicians who let it happen.
I hope the good people (the few and the proud) have their lists up to date. For the next few months.
How Democrats reduce the crime:
Defund cops. If there’s fewer cops they can’t make as many arrests. Fewer arrest makes it look like less crime.
Raise requirement for crime: If theft isn’t defined as a felony until OVER A MILLION DOLLARS IS TAKEN then the number of felony thefts in a city goes waaaaaaay down.
Have Police Chiefs lie: tell Chiefs the city is an a bidding war to get a good company to relocate IF THE CRIME RATE IS LOWER THAN THE COMPETING CITY IN FLORIDA.
Make a deal with the corrupt FBI to ‘allow YOU as a democrat city to ‘self identify’ as a low crime city.
Maybe if a few thugs could steal all the speed limit signs on the Interstates we could just drive as fast as we want all the time.
Our ruling class has mostly been nuts throughout my lifetime.
In the seventies, they stationed cops everywhere to enforce their damnable 55 mile an hour speed limit while some of our most famous serial killers were on the loose.
Keep voting Democrat.
