I cannot help myself, I simply do not feel any sympathy for her.

Oh man the texts and the contact list on that phone. Tyrone better get rid of it. I’ll bet the CHP is pinging for that right now.

Democrats have made every single American vulnerable to violent crime and they don’t care.

It is going to take it happening to people with status for anything to change.

And I am sorry for Senator Boxer. I hope she is ok but thousands of Americans have gone through the exact same thing with absolutely no recourse.

If you’re walking around Oakland with nothing to protect you and you’re not aware of your surroundings then I have no sympathy for you. People allow themselves to become victims of crime. It’s only going to get worse. You can’t just flip a switch to turn policing back on. The damage is done.

Reckless reporting. They don’t tell us if either one was wearing a mask. And is she vaccinated?

They omitted the most important information.

I hope no black lives did it.it may set them back 6 months, then comes the looting, and burning and white people taking a knee and washing a foot for guilt and giggles.

I assume this is a decent area.

It was five years ago. A friend of mine and I had lunch and wandered around Jack London Square for a bit on a summer day in 2016 before catching a ferry to go across the bay.

It was peaceful, even a little festive and there were lots of families there.

Boxer’s the one who famously told Rick Santorum that a baby wasn’t a human being until the parents got it home and decided they wanted it. I don’t condone pushing down 80 year old women, but it should have happened a long time ago.
