A jaw-dropping video shows the moment nearly 100 robbers ransacked a California gas station in the middle of the night.

Surveillance footage displays dozens of masked and hoodie-wearing thieves taking their sweet time to grab as much as they can carry just after 4:30am on Friday at the station in crime-ridden Oakland.

The raid came just days after Oakland's progressive mayor bragged about a drop in crime in the hellhole city.

I rented a car at the Oakland airport in April. When completing the paperwork the agent asked if I planned on bringing the car back with a full gas tank. I’d taken an Uber to the airport from the Amtrak station and had passed two gas stations on the main route to the airport. I explained that I’d just fill up at one of those stations.

“Oh no, not there! You’ll be robbed or hijacked!”

Keep in mind that the Feds allowed any city that USED to report crimes to quit doing that. Or, at least, redefine all the crimes.
So, when any DBag says that crime has decreased it is because no one is reporting like they used to.

I wonder how a wild hog trap using a gas station as the lure would do in Oakland?

What city is it that cops only take reports or work between certain hours?

Why should they rush around grabbing everything? It isn’t as if any will be arrested for 3 bags of Funyuns, 1 Monster drink and 6 blunts. That’s way less than $950.

Last month, federal authorities raided her home. Thao was defiant and furious, insisting she did not do anything wrong and she has no plans to resign from office.

Mayor Sheng Thao read from a prepared statement and took no questions four days after FBI agents carried boxes out of the home she shares with her son and partner as part of an investigation that included searches of two other houses owned by another family.

Retired judge Brenda Harbin-Forte, who is leading the recall campaign, is calling for Thao to step down.

‘She should do the honorable thing, and resign. The FBI raid is going to be a distraction, no matter which way you cut it. Even if she’s not charged, it’s going to be a distraction trying to manage this investigation and try to lead a city,’ Harbin-Forte said.


article conclusion.
