The family of an Oakland baker and former publisher who espoused anarchist beliefs believe that the thieves who killed her in a daylight robbery and assault shouldn't go to jail and her death shouldn't be used to argue for more police.
Jennifer Angel, 48, founded Angel Cakes bakery in Oakland in 2008. Prior to that, she was a publisher of what she described as 'radical, progressive' magazines and a publicist for authors.
On Monday, Angel was leaving her car in front of a bank in uptown Oakland when two robbers smashed her car window and ran off with her belongings, her fiance Ocean Mottley said.
She then went after the robbers' getaway car, catching up with it but getting trapped in its door and being dragged over 50 feet. Her head was crushed on the sidewalk and the car drove away.
By Thursday, her family had confirmed her death after spending days in a coma at a local hospital.
While local authorities investigate her death as a homicide, the family has requested that her brutal killers not be sent to jail.
In a statement on a GoFundMe that has raised over $130,000 as of Saturday, those close to her said they would pursue 'alternatives' to prison for the criminals.
'As a long-time social movement activist and anarchist, Jen did not believe in state violence, carceral punishment, or incarceration as an effective or just solution to social violence and inequity,' they wrote.
They added: 'We know Jen would not want to continue the cycle of harm by bringing state-sanctioned violence to those involved in her death or to other members of Oakland's rich community.'
In fact, she once bragged on Facebook that she had taught her employees to do what she does and 'never call the cops.'

Reap what you sow.
California grade libtards.
If she didn’t believe in punishing crime, why did she go after the criminals? Or does she think that only the victims of crime should be able to go after criminals? But what would she have done if she caught those criminals just talk them into giving back the loot?
At least they are consistent in their stupidity.
I don’t see any family members quoted...just loser “friends”/activists
Survival of the fittest.
Move the killers in next door to the family members. Or better yet, make them rent rooms to the killers in their own homes.
Stupid should hurt.
There’s a difference between turning the other cheek and allowing yourself and others to be murdered . . .
They may as well posted a note on their door saying “All criminal welcome”.
Those killers should be executed.
The family members are insane.
The "true believers" who are contributing to the GOFUNDME account are aiding and abetting insanity.
No sympathy here for any of them.
Got run over by a Karma...
#WINNING.
And we all shine on….
As Elvis said in some movie or other, concerning the turning of the cheek. ‘I’m beginning to run out of cheeks!’
[[In fact, she once bragged on Facebook that she had taught her employees to do what she does and ‘never call the cops.’]]
Well by all means I vote thEm into your homes and shower them with love and kindness by giving them the pin number to your debit cards in a show of good faith
