hey say no good deed goes unpunished.

An Oakland, California, City Council candidate, who is running for office on a platform of addressing the city’s homeless crisis and "skyrocketing levels of crime," said she had a bag full of donations stolen by a homeless woman during her campaign kickoff event on Sunday. To make matters worse, she said the police never showed up when she called 911.

Charlene Wang, who is running for the at-large seat in the California city, says the homeless woman grabbed the bag — which contained about $1,000 — at Clinton Square Park at around 4 p.m. Her team confronted the woman and pleaded with her to hand over the bag, but in the end, she made off with her ill-gotten gains, Wang said.

Video of the interaction shows Wang begging the disturbed woman to hand the bag back, but the homeless woman gets angry and refuses to turn it over.

Wang is an idiot.

I have no problem with anyone stealing, or otherwise assaulting Democrat politicians.

typical liberal elitist. shocked by the world THEY created.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Oxymoron.

You can't steal from a politician. It's impossible.

“Her team confronted the woman and pleaded with her to hand over the bag...”

Proofreading is a lost rat.

“I can only imagine the trauma she is going through having to live on the streets. I am not angry at her or anything like that...”

So you let her have the money. Don’t complain then. Think of it as charity.

I was left to fend for myself

Sort of how I feel when politicians in government take my money via taxes and give it to illegal aliens and misfits. They don't work for my money, I did.

[Larry Lucido]

Probably wants to defund the police.
