Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's home vandalized as threat of federal troops looms

Police are investigating an act of vandalism at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's house.

"Defund OPD," "homes 4 all," and "blood on your hands" were all spray-painted on the garage, sidewalk and stone wall outside Mayor Schaaf's Oakland home overnight. Witnesses say 30 to 40 people dressed in black and wearing masks shot projectiles and set off fireworks around 2 a.m.

Neighbor Yakov Barton said, "I know there's a lot of unrest and frustration and I sympathize with that, but this was jarring and felt like to another level."

Harmeet Dhillon, Republican National Committeewoman, said "I think what it shows is that Libby Schaaf's policies are not really working for her city and I'm really sorry -- no American should be made to feel unsafe in their home. As a person, I feel sorry for her and, as a leader, I think she needs to do better."

This week, President Trump threatened to send federal troops into Oakland like he has in Portland.

The President declared, "Oakland is a mess. We are not going to let this happen in our country."

That sounds a lot like bribery to some unidentified group of Black Lives Matter protesters to keep your house from being destroyed, but what do I know?

I thought spray painting Black Lives Matter on any available service was just creating mural during a peaceful protest. I guess it only applies if public property or private businesses or homes of people who don’t happen to be elected officials are targeted.

Schaaf is the lowlife mayor who alerted illegal aliens that ICE was going to stage a sweep in Oakland. I’d love to see her house burned down around her ears.

That is good to hear, though sorry they felt unsafe. This is the ONLY way to help stifle the far left wing progressive anarchist movement... to have an OVERWHELMING TRUMP victory with MORE gop (feckless as they are) Senators and house members... specifically, enough to make Nancy want to retire!

That’s the b*tch that alerted the illegals that Border Patrol was coming in.

As revolutionaries devour their puppet masters, they’ll be repbranded as Trump supporters.

From the article:Well Mayor, what does defacing your house accomplish? Shirley some good must come from it. Why else would these layabouts do it?

Libby Schaaf has encouraged rioters who’ve cost business owners - black business owners among them - their property and their livelihoods. Zero sympathy for her and other Democrat politicians who continue to encourage Antifa and BLM terrorists.

Oakland has been a mess since it spawned the Black Panther Party in 1966.

The Black Panther Party’s History in Oakland, CA

Oakland has always prided itself on being a progressive city, standing up for the rights of its communities at all costs. Take the Black Panther Party of Self Defense for example, which originated right here in 1966.

For the millionth time, they’re not “Troops”, they’re law enforcement officers.

You really don't expect news to be accurate and truthful do you?

Glad they’re voting for Trump - but if they still vote D’s down-ticket it doesn’t help much.

Liberal Oakland had a female Mayor, a female chief of police and s female fire department commissioner a few years back when that uninspected hippie crash pad went up in flames, killing many dumb young hipsters who could possibly have turned their lives around in the future, had they lived. I see that the Oakland voters learned nothing about emergency preparations and leadership from that disaster.
