Ugly scene as Oakland’s illegal “sideshows” make comeback

Sideshows are rearing their ugly head once again in Oakland. Take a look at this video shot in the aftermath of a crash during a West Oakland sideshow, showing a hostile crowd accosting a woman they believe was responsible. (Warning: profane language)

Oakland police said the incident happened about 4:15 a.m. Saturday on the 2500 block of Middle Harbor Road at the Port of Oakland. A woman in a burgundy Mazda apparently was following too closely as the driver of a white Chevy Camaro was “doing donuts,” or spinning around in circles, which is typical sideshow behavior

Seems like there is automatic weapons fire at the end of the first video

It appears that the city tolerates anarchy.

[I cannot think of a name]

“The incident is the latest example of sideshow behavior in Oakland. Sideshows — reckless displays of stunts and speed by drivers who often are intoxicated — have been linked to a number of deaths in the city, including of people who were watching the spectacles.”

Well, at least sometimes there’s a happy ending.

Animals. And this is the crap that people pushing integrated Agenda 21 neighborhoods want on a corner near you.

The more asinine laws made, the more the rule of law will be minimized and ignored. Anarchy will be the ultimate result.

Another celebration of diversity. I’m so glad my taxes are paying to support these people.

what does that mean?

[Venturer]

Get the tag number and confiscate the car.

It doesn’t matter who was driving it, the car goes to the city.

Doesn’t really matter if they don’t pick the car up until the next day when the owner is sober. Losing a few cars might slow them down a little.

Get the tag number and confiscate the car.

That kind of power in the hands of the authorities would soon be used against law-abiding citizens.

[antidisestablishment]

That kind of power in the hands of the authorities would soon be is only used against law-abiding citizens.

Fixed it for you...

See stories of Sulfur, LA a few years back. They could auction your car off before you could make bail for the charge of driving with out of state plates (and maybe getting drugs planted in your car).

The only thing that stopped them was arresting the WRONG full Bird Coronal...

Sounds like a Road Warrior movie.

We need more diversity
