Vandals Spray Paint Messages on Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's Home
NBC Bay Area ^ | 7/21/2020 | NBC Bay Area staff

Posted on 07/21/2020 8:08:54 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's home was vandalized early Tuesday with messages spray painted on the sidewalk, driveway and garage.

About a dozen people wearing masks drove up to the mayor's home, started yelling and lit off fireworks around 2 a.m., neighbors said.

"There was a real thick layer of smoke and a lot of noise," neighbor Desiree Alexander said.

Police are investigating the incident.

Justin Berton, a spokesperson for Schaaf, provided the following statement:

“An attack at the home of a publicly elected official does not advance democracy. Around 2 a.m. vandals shot projectiles at the Mayor’s home, set off fireworks, and graffitied her home with paint. This attack, designed to intimidate the Mayor and strike fear into her family, will not stop her from advocating for the policies she believes are in the best long-term interests of her beloved hometown. Like all Oaklanders, she supports passionate protest but does not support tactics meant to harm and terrorize others.”

The messages spray painted on Schaaf's home call for her to "DEFUND OPD! CANCEL RENT! HOMES FOR ALL!" Other messages include "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" and "WAKE UP LIBBY."

So if this was St. Louis, Libby Schaaf would have charges pressed against her for complaining.

"Homes for all"

Does that mean that because I'm 72, and have never owned a home in my life, that I get two?

“Like all Oaklanders, she supports passionate protest...”


I’m not an Oakland, but if I were, I don’t think I’d support ‘passionate protest’. Oh well. At least if the ‘vandals’ painted on her walls, they could be also called muralists, as opposed to mayors who order paint on roadways.

Anyone care to predict the percentage of decline in residential and commercial real estate values in these Democrat/marxist run cities comparing 2021 values to 2018?

That’s the point. How many US capitals are predominantly minority? How many are no go zones?

She’s about as liberal as they get in Oakland - might as well be chop zon le the entire city !!!

that being said the left never stops - and they do eat their own

This is rich

Remember that it was when the leftist mobs went and attacked that stupid liberal mayor of Seattle’s personal residence, that she finally ended the chaz bullcrap. Not after multiple murders. Only when SHE was attacked

This is how these rich elite liberals operate they rile up
all the masses , and try to get them all pissed off ! and know that they live in a little gated communities and it’ll never affect them

Screw liberals. And their cities. I hope they all end up line Portland

“An attack at the home of a publicly elected official does not advance democracy.”

They are promoting communism.

This was a non-violent crime, so why are the police there? It should be social workers only.

“TAKE RESPONSIBILITY”

Now that’s ironic.
