It’s going to be tough for the NAACP to talk about this. The overwhelming majority of crime committed in Oakland is committed by young black men.

Yup, Dem voters are very slow on the uptake.

This is what Larry Elder gave tacit approval to when he didn’t fight the massive fraud during the recall vote.

They will leave the black men out of the discussion....But,they will demand the crime is cleaned up....How do you do that ,if black men are given a pass to commit crime????

Yep. “I can’t take it anymore.” That statement means nothing. It’s just the whining of a silly child.

“This happened because I voted for Democrats.” That statement would show awareness. It would mean something.

Cops will react if the local prosecutor won’t move on arrests. It just opens up the exit door, for more to leave the city.

Dems applauded the months of George Floyd /BLM riots and thought placating murderers, looters and arsonists would be a transitory situation.

The thugs they cultivated learned there was nothing to fear, and they act accordingly.

You have very large HOA fees plus homeowner insurance plus huge utility costs.
No one can buy a single home for first time buyer as they average $800,000 !! and need fixing up and is on a small .25 acre lot with a wall around it.

I saw this at nextdoor.com site for my local area.

“homeowners insurance renewal notice from State Farm. Last year $3899. The coming year $6592. 2000 sq ft house near Lost Hills”.

Lost Hills, Calabasas, California is near the San Fernando valley and about 15 miles north of me. Los Angeles is further south about 35 miles or so. The area had a huge fire that burned some 96,900+ acres in 2018.

The Rat Zombies are figuring out when they are surrounded by Voodoo cannibals, they are the ones on the menu.

It isn’t Republicans who are roasting you on a spit. You did this to yourselves.

Newsome is America dreaming...wants to turn America into one big open toilet..with exploding electric cars and rolling brown outs and global warming lock downs. Freeze the old and sick in winter. Eat bugs. Turn your children into Eunuchs. Young men will be assigned their trans mate.

Not to long ago i would admit to using exaggeration to make a point...now i’m not so sure.

A continuing flood of CA folks have moved to GA, which now has two Dem senators. Started when the movie “Deliverance” was filmed here showcasing beautiful N GA and GA began incentivizing film-making here. GA is now #1 worldwide. Still hard to believe.
