Bizarre, but even back in the 70's Oakland was the butt of jokes, in what a dangerous place it was.

What’s the difference between squatters and stray dogs.

[posterchild]

Was the house ‘abandoned’ or ‘full of squatters?’

>> What’s the difference between squatters and stray dogs

The dogs are intelligent. And sober.

[Mears]

Stray dogs can be lovable .

It’s Oakland. That explains everything

I was stationed on the Coral Sea there and had to go through Oakland coming and going from the Navy base. Absolutely horrible area. Incredible to think it’s even worse today.

[Seaplaner]

Twenty five years ago, I had a satellite office in Oakland, and I was an absolute expert at rarely going there. Yes, crime was my major concern.

Now?

As much as possible, I avoid the entire, once golden and now sick state.

I just read the Oakland Board of Supervisors has voted to change the name of the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to the
San Francisco Bay/ Oakland Airport. This, despite a trademark lawsuit from neighboring San Francisco.

Looks like Oakland wishes to hide the name Oakland, behind a more famous city. Similar to what they decided some 15 years ago. There is a very long street in Oakland that used to be called 14th St. It is now called ‘International Blvd’.
This was done after several gang type shootings in the area.

sounds like an episode of breaking bad

[VTenigma]

This doesn’t sound like anything one should be overly concerned about. Just more celebratory practices among the crazy quilt of diversity.

[TigersEye]

The dogs aren’t breaking the law.

[Enterprise]

I think the dogs wanted to evict the squatters.

I guess I don’t have to ask Yogi who it was, do I?

[CurlyDave]

This is what is known as a twofer. We got two very undesirable derelicts off the street in one incident.

Article doesn't mention the race of any of the participants, but it does specify the color of the bicycle the alleged shooter rode away on:

Dorn allegedly exited the abandoned residence, got on a green bicycle, rode a short distance away [...]

Because that is a salient point, dontcha see?

Regards,

[House Atreides]

NEVER…. I repeat NEVER ride a green bicycle. Doing so tends to induce homicidal impulses in the rider.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo using the Aztec calendar?

30 homeless squatting in a million-dollar house? Equity.

Stray dogs can be turned around.
