Oakland was once again turned into a dystopian Mad Max-style hellscape as cars and fireworks exploded during multiple street takeovers in the Democrat-run city.
At least one person was left critically injured as several major intersections were shut down by street 'sideshows' in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Numerous cars were set ablaze, fireworks were thrown and businesses were vandalized as at least three unsanctioned car shows took over the California city.
Hundreds of feral onlookers cheered and screamed as the city descended into lawlessness in scenes reminiscent of the post-apocalyptic movies starring Mel Gibson.
'It's crazy,' Oakland resident Santana Beltran told KTVU. 'They're just running around, and it smells like strip rubber.'
'I'm concerned about my safety and my family. We live close by here,' she added to the outlet as she stood near the scene of one of the shows.
Footage from the sideshows saw a blue Chevy Camaro covered in spray paint, crashed and then set alight before exploding into a fireball.
A silver Infiniti with a missing back wheel spun donuts nearby as onlookers whooped with excitement at the exceptionally disturbing scene.
It is unclear if the trashed cars were stolen.
Reports indicate that one person was critically injured at the car shows, however it is unclear how they were wounded, and no arrests were made.
Residents said the violent illegal car races have been an issue for years but officials and law enforcement fail to crack down on them, with cops admitting they are too overwhelmed to bring them to an end.

Naaaa....it’s just a nice, peaceful RAT utopia....coming to a neighborhood near you soon....LOL
An M60 ought to do it.
“Oakland was once again turned into a dystopian Mad Max-style hellscape as cars and fireworks exploded during multiple street takeovers in the Democrat-run city.”
Pure porn!
I am surprised they actually admitted it was a democrat-run city.
You get what you voted for.
“ with cops admitting they are too overwhelmed to bring them to an end.”
A couple of decent citizens with scoped rifles, assuming any are left in Oakland, could end this from a roof top pretty quick.

Feral people doing what they do.
Sounds like a place where I’d have to mount the 12ga fender guns if I had to visit?
President Trump tried to warm them:
“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!“
I used to say: “they voted for this!’
But after seeing things like Dominion, Alzheimer’s Joe’s 81 million votes, week-long vote counting, ballot-harvesting, the Twitter files, etc...
I don’t believe people in California really do vote for it.
Arrest the perps. Seize the cars. Destroy the cars. NY did it. It worked.
The Oakland City Officials and Local Mainstream Media assured local residents that the Sideshow Perpetrators were all Privileged Suburban Whites, and no local danger remained.
And that’s Oakland without protests, demonstrations or riots.
Perhaps Gov. Newsom will call out the National Guard.
Come to California:

May I take a wild guess? 50/50 shot.
These were mostly peaceful street takeovers.
