My wife and I are scrambling to find daycare for our 16-month-old son. We’ve had a “nanny share” up until now, which means we and another couple employ a nanny for both couples’ kids and split the cost. Our nanny is wonderful, and she lives just a few blocks from us. But a few weeks ago, someone walked up her street spraying bullets into random houses. One of the bullets found its way into her living room, as she and her family ducked for cover. At that moment, she and her husband decided they were moving their family out of Oakland.
The shooting didn’t even make the local news. Apparently, in the Bay Area right now, you can walk up a residential street firing your gun into houses, and you still won’t be able to compete for attention with all of the other sensational crimes.
Perhaps you’ve heard about some of them or seen the videos.
Shoplifters casually walk into Walgreens stores in San Francisco filling garbage bags full of merchandise. They’ve spat on, bitten, assaulted, and thrown bottles of urine at employees.
The flashmob-style “smash and grab” robberies that originated here—in places like Union Square in San Francisco and the shopping plaza in affluent Walnut Creek—have now spread across the country.
Asian seniors are brazenly assaulted in the street; one octogenarian was body slammed to death. This week, an Afghan refugee—a father of three who had worked as a translator for the U.S. army—was shot dead near a playground in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood.
And now freeway shootings are a thing. A few weeks ago, at nine in the morning, a 29-year-old mom on her way from Oakland to San Francisco for a job interview with her fiancé and two kids was randomly shot and killed

Another Liberal Paradise...
Stuff like that will make the news when it happens to the “important people”(/sarc). When it happens to regular folks, it don’t matter.
It’s like the recent video of the old Boston DA, now US Attorney, berating a reporter for confronting her as she gets out of her car. Nasty woman. Nasty indeed. Talked about “making up an allegation” against the reporter lady. How dare someone come to her home.
Wonder, was she that upset when folks showed up at McConnell’s home, Carlson’s home, Hawley’s home. Heck, protestor’s showed up at the home of the Governor, wonder what punishment they got. Did the Boston DA make any public statements about that?
It’s always been this way... Most crimes in high-crime neighborhoods don’t make the news. Stories make headlines when they are unusual.
For many crimes, the police won’t even come out to take a report.
Feral negroe behavior isn’t newsworthy, it seems.
So liberal white people don’t care until they can’t get cheap hired help?
The best defense is a good offense.
A recent episode with Dr. Marty Makary about our "Pandemic of Lunacy" response to Covid had my blood boiling. It might've been her best ever.
Weiss is a liberal Jewish lesbian, but very much a contrarian in the mold of Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi and she's been hammering liberals over cancel culture and wokeism. She's one of the small handful of liberals that I respect.
I think this “awakening” is too little, too late. You can’t fix stupid, and you can’t negotiate with insane. What’s left is to get OUR people out of anti-America.
She must be a RACIST to want to leave this utopian Liberal City, just because some minority yutes are practicing thier chosen profession...
If there is one city I find pretty terrifying, it's Oakland.
I do.
“Weiss is a liberal Jewish lesbian”
A liberal lesbian “family” raising children, what could possibly go wrong? Brainwashed, indoctrinated kids growing up surrounded by counter-culture ideology, ... great. Poor kids.
