OAKLAND — Mike Issa couldn't believe the "gift" last night's looters left behind in his ransacked Jitters & Shakes coffee shop at 21st and Webster streets in downtown Oakland.
"You know what I say to the people who did this?" he asked, slapping a cracked cell phone on his counter. "I say, I have this phone here that you left when you smashed my store. That's a gift you've given me. Thank you for doing that. I can't wait to give this to the police."
Issa was one of dozens of downtown business owners who arrived at work to find shattered windows, stolen goods and spray-painted obscenities after Thursday night's protests against the verdict for the BART police officer in the 2009 killing of Oscar Grant.

I call bullshit. That is about 4 letters longer than any word in the ebonics "dixnerry"......cracker must have "dunroteit".
I would have stood in my shop with a shotgun. Anyone so much as flicks the window gets shot, end of story.
Ignorant idiots out stealing some justice! Oakland is a cesspool. Any mayor who would stand by and allow riots should be fired. 21st century America scares the hell outta me.
Does this guy think the police will actually ACT on the cell phone owner? Being black it is now LEGAL for him to riot, loot, destroy property, etc.
I wonder if there is a way to look at the mug shots of the 80+ arrested during this riot. The town I live in posts arrests on the internet (sherriffs and police dept websites)and sometimes in the newspaper.

I'm getting the impression that white "anarchists" were very involved in last night's rioting and they had organized to cause mayhem regardless of what verdict was handed down.
Anyone know if “it” is over?
Will there be any more of this tonight?
It means they are one of the few cultures that sh&t in their own dens and living areas. Even dogs don’t do that.
I remember during the Cleveland riots some years back, a news article mentioned that only one white-owned store in a particular black neighborhood remained unscathed. This was when there were still real reporters, and he ran down the owner and asked if he paid protection money. Basically, the guy said, "in a way." and then went on to state that he hired two of the biggest, meanest-looking black guys he could find, armed them with shotguns, and placed them in front of his store.
One can debate as to whether the store wasn't ransacked because the looters thought it was owned by a "brother" or because they knew they'd get their ass shot off by a non-white and have no legal recourse.
If you saw the movies there were a lot of white leftist Marxists there to whip the crowd up.
What is a Jitter?
**If you saw the movies there were a lot of white leftist Marxists there to whip the crowd up.**
That’s depressing.
Obama’s world in full tilt.
EXACTLY! And of course some SEIU thugs paid by obummer
Local news kept denying that all the cloudy stuff in the air was smoke.
They kept saying it was just the fog rolling in, which I didn’t buy for a minute.
