A mob of looters ransacked an Oakland gas station convenience store and caused thousands of dollars in damage as the frustrated store manager claimed police took nine hours to respond to his plea for help.

The horde, who had just attended a nearby car sideshow, broke into the 76 Station near the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport around 4:30 a.m. on Friday, according to ABC 7 News Bay Area.

Owner Sam Mardaie estimated approximately 80 to 100 people broke through his store’s front door and grabbed everything they could get their hands on.

If we keep letting people do this, eventually they will have stolen enough and things will get back to normal.

LOL...right.

And if they keep killing each other at the current rate, things will self-correct and we’ll get back to normal.

Some might call it theft. The left calls it reparations. Coming to a suburb near you.

The plan is to have the ferals turn the entire country into a “food desert.”

From the article:

“A call was placed to Oakland police but the dispatcher informed the caller the crime was listed as a Priority 2, as no suspects were on scene, adding it could be reported online.”

——-

How do you like them apples? The store gets completely trashed, and the police don’t even bother to respond. Just fill out a report online. Oh, and remember to vote straight D in every election.

By the way, I don’t blame the police here. The mayor makes the rules.

So the store owner will give up, close shop and leave, and Oakland’s leftists will whine that they have no stores left for the ferals to rob. Next stop - Soviet-style state-owned stores.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The owner came all the way from Yemen to learn about our black DIY reparations and looting. He needs to be armed ^^^^^^^^^

The 76 station is located in the same area where In-N-Out closed its only location in Oakland in March because of the out-of-control crime and for the safety of their customers.

In February, a Texas attorney offered a $10,000 reward after her son, who had been refueling his rental car, was robbed at gunpoint at the same gas station, according to CBS News.

“It’s crazy. I mean it’s a daily thing. It hasn’t been a day since we opened in August that we don’t have an incident,” Mardaie told the outlet at the time.

“I come from Yemen, a third world country, and we don’t have those incidents in a third world country where there’s no law and order.”

Remember what the Libs used to tell us: you don’t need guns to defend yourself when you have the Police.

Of course, if guns were used, the owner (and his law abiding workers) would be in jail.

One interesting thing about this incident is that the owner knew that his store was in a bad area. So the doors were locked at the time of the robbery. Window service only.

That sensible precaution didn’t help, as the mob just broke the door down.

Anyway, where are the rooftop Koreans when you need them?

What police? The left has destroyed any semblance of law and order in these major cities. Don’t complain and drink your poison, voters.

Proposition 8(?) was voided by a court on equal protection grounds.

Proposition 47 might be voided by a court on equal protection grounds.

Proposition 47 might be voided by Congress as it obviously reduces the desire of quality people to immigrate to the USA.

Problem is they breed like rabbits, and the border is wide open for more to come.
