Standing up to hate: Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf shows how it’s done
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 1, 2018 | Otis R. Taylor Jr.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf used her office to alert the public to a federal immigration sweep.

That’s what she did, make no mistake about it. And it was brilliant. Politically risky, yes. But Schaaf stood up to hate.

The left does not have to obey any law they disagree with.

They are also the first ones to run to a liberal judge to rule over the rest of us by judicial edict. And don’t you dare question it.

Kind of interesting how that works.

I’ll bet she won’t “stand up” to hate of Trump or conservatism!

“But Schaaf stood up to hate.”

No, what she did was obstruct justice and will have to answer for it. In California, can you be in San Quentin and still be Mayor of Oakland?

So the people we have elected to make, enforce and administer our laws are now lecturing us that the law doesn’t matter?

Then what do we need elected officials and bureaucrats for?

I completely agree. We have been told this was going to happen, but it hasn’t. I am getting impatient.

I wonder if Oakland had an American citizen in jail who is wanted on a Federal charge, would they hold him for arrest by the Feds or would they release him like they do for illegals? Equal justice for Americans?

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and her incompetent city staff killed 36 people in the Ghost Ship fire equal to two plus Parkland High School massacres. Last year there were 76 murders in Oakland equal to 4.5 Parklands. Maybe the mayor should focus on crime in her community instead of protecting criminals

Barf, barf, barf! This mayor should be arrested. And sanctuary cities and states should have federal funding cut off.

Just arrest her and place her in one of those prisons with no name. Disappear her, let no one know where she is. Put her in indefinite hold under a terrorism charge against the US, and let her sit there until trial. When she is allowed to come out, she will attempt to rouse the illegals into a riot situation. You then charge her again under the terrorism statutes, in leading an insurrection against the US government, and put her on trial for treason

In a sane country should would be “disappeared” never to be seen again. You just cannot defy clear and reasonable laws.

Didnt otis taylor play fooball for the kc chiefs?
Oakland mayor is a race baiting delusional woman. Her delusions are hidden by the leftist policy goals...but her delusions will be exposed and her downfall will occur when her city becomes even more crime ridden and bankrupt.

The Left openly hates America and Americans. So it shouldn’t be surprising that they cheer and protect criminals who harm Americans. Their political philosophy at this point is basically sadism.
