So much for the Safe Streets Program.
Enjoy the suk!
Voting has consequences!
Oakland. Crime.
Must be the Amish again.
I can see neighborhood militias forming in the future because of this crap.
Dude, that appears to be the least of your problems.
Reminds me of firefighters in Los Angeles who say pot shots are taken at them when they go into certain parts of the city to fight fires or aid in medical emergencies.
I’d leave the road exactly as it is, 1/2 torn up - let the mayor and her staff - the ones these residents voted for - finish the road.
who is John Galt?
Just how bad is that particular neighborhood in Oakland, or in Oakland overall? I’ve never been there but I’m thinking some fellow posters here may have or be from there. Im in Michigan and Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Benton Harbor, Muskegon all have bad areas but this sounds a step worse than those.
The democrats have made every large city a kill zone but what the hell they made their money screw you is all they feel.
A quick “drive” down the street with Google Earth indicates a relatively tidy neighborhood of small, ranch-style houses, but every house does indeed have bars on windows and doors, so residents are also clearly fearful of crime
From outer appearances, I’ve seen a lot worse
It is stunning that democrat voters have NO concept of cause & effect.
We had a dog that pretty much never had to go through a cause & effect experience more than twice. Often times only once. Had he possessed opposable thumbs and the power of speech he would have put MANY dumocrat voters to shame.
Doesn’t Oakland have police to protect the workers?
Never mind, the police are afraid to go into that area too.
I had to pull off a job on a black anniversary one night it may have been MLK’s shooting anniversary, anyway the low income blacks were in a mood.
The street didn’t have lighting and every time I entered the apartment one of the guys would stand by the door and quietly say “I’m going to kill you” but the real problem is that I didn’t like leaving my tools in the apartment every time I had to go to my truck which was in the dark and a small but growing group of strangers were gathering around it and muttering as though they were trying to get up the courage for something or at least to break into my work van, finally I called the black landlord and told him I couldn’t risk all my tools like this and that he was going to have to wait until the next day when the cover of night was gone.
Our nation cannot last much longer with this type of criminal activity not only allowed but being encouraged. Criminals have no fear of punishment (with good reason), and the law-abiding fear the repercussions of protecting themselves and their property.
In 1985 I was cutting meat at a supermarket in Atlantic City,NJ. One day I was out back washing out some fat barrels when a brand new low income apartment complex across the way had a fire in a unit. When the fire department arrived they were greeted with the residents throwing bottles and rocks at them. Cops had to secure the scene while the building was burning. Yes it was all them again. Saw it with my own eyes.
That’s where we should be busing the chicom and jihadi illegals.
I know contractors in such typical Democrat urban reservations who had armed security and protected parking written into the contract. The security was there to protect them, their equipment, and their personal vehicles. If enough armed security didn’t show, the crew simply left and billed for their time.
Why yes. Yes it is.
Food deserts. Now road deserts. Embrace the suck.
