Thugs in California begin to target assisted living homes, some reports suggest as many as 30 seniors attacked in less than a week from one facility

Civilization in the Bay Area continues to unravel at an alarming rate.

Checking in on California and we find that civilization continues to unravel at an alarming rate, but nowhere is that more obvious than taking a look at the Bay Area. Here’s the latest, from an item out at a local outlet:

Thirteen senior citizens reported being brutally attacked and robbed in just one week in an Oakland community. But according to leaders at one senior living facility in the city, they say the number is much higher and closer to an astounding 30.

‘It was happening every hour on the hour,’ says Sister Marie Taylor, president of the Westlake Christian Terrace resident council. She says she’s counted nearly 30 violent attacks and robberies on elderly Asian residents in a span of less than a week.

According to the article, residents of the assisted living facility number more than 700, and the average age is 85 years old; when venturing out to grocery shop or run other errands, they’ve been robbed and “brutally” beaten by prowling thugs. The solution? Well, from the ever-so-helpful local government:

Oakland Police say there was a spike in robberies citywide with 83 between June 25th and July 1st. However they say there is no particular reason for the surge. They’re urging elders to walk in larger groups and to do so only during the daytime.

“No particular reason” my rear end. Under Democrat reign, criminals have been emboldened to the nth degree; and why shouldn’t they be? They’ve been given a pass for any and all theft that doesn’t break the $950 threshold; they’ve seen judges, courts, and juries abuse their authority and trust to punish political opponents; they’re let off the hook because of their skin color and “reparative justice”...

A new low for the 3rd world hellhole known as Kalifornia... then again this might be a move to undermine Gavin Newsome and support Kamala.. Everything's on the table until Biden's been dumped.

Oakland is not imported. That’s the result of generations of welfare babies and thugg culture.

Since slippery joe’s performance, i only refer to that party and it’s people as democratics. Their ideas stink, their plans for you and i are felony in nature. And above all, the contempt they hold for my republic has earned them the moniker.

And that is how leftist states are becoming turd world countries.

I think that even the turdiest of the turd world Countries don't have their thugs attacking the elderly in nursing homes. The United States has now reached a new low.

“Thugs in California begin to target assisted living homes...”

Why not? It’s what the voters want. Wonderful “democracy” you’ve got there.

“As far back as the 1970s, Oakland had a bad rep.”

So bad that even the Raiders had to leave.

“Asians in California vote for the Democratic Party.”

They do everywhere...naturally gravitate toward communism.

For context, Oakland is rated as safer than 0% of other US cities.

Not even the universal Leftist social media message that White Boomers Stole All of Your Money?

Seniors are soft targets. Encouraging them to walk in groups is stupid advice. Predators would have a field day robbing a herd of seniors.

Why would the Houthis do this after we spent more than a billion dollars fighting them?

I left 30 years ago. To all those people who are just now leaving California, what took you so long? The writing was on the wall decades ago.

Buy a few Cane Corsos for the seniors to check out, like a library card. They return them upon a safe return to the facility.

The intention is a good one, however...

A Cane Corsos would be a whole lotta Dog for any single individual to manage, let alone, a senior citizen, who may have balance issues. They can weigh over 120lbs grown, and their bite force is even stronger than a Pit Bull’s bite.

If a Great Dane and a Clydesdale Horse had a ‘Baby’, you would get something like a Cane Corsos.

40 years for me. Now I carry and if I defend myself from a thug I get a letter of appreciation from the local cops. F*** California.
