Dontrell was bad
Even as a child, everybody could tell
Everyone said, "If you don't get straight you'll surely go to Hell"

But, Dontrell didn't care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old
He didn't wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster
A juvenile gangster

His teachers didn't understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age just because
He didn't want to learn things
Had other interests
He liked to burn things!

The lady in East Oakland
She had a iPhone that Dontrell wanted, oh, so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
And then he shot her in the leg
But this is what she said

Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't wanna do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

His parent gave up
She couldn't influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude

And when he stole the car
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far
He didn't mean to stomp the poor lady
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry

Only a lad
He really couldn't help it
Only a lad
He didn't wanna do it
Only a lad
He's underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused

It's not his fault that he can't behave
Society's made him go astray
Perhaps if we're nice, he'll go away
Perhaps he'll go away, he'll go away

Only a lad
You really can't blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He's our responsibility

Have you ever posted anything negative about whites (conservatives) ??? Where ? When ?
You are epitome of a racist

But a felonious president is ok ?

Yes. Joe Biden, crackhead Hunter Biden.

When the woman was lit on fire, murdered, recently, on the NY City subway, I posted that. Horrific. I don't care what the felons color is (not Black).

Chano, a cook and a Father to 6, was recently killed in East Oakland on Foothill. I ocassionally pass through there. He was killed by a 14 year old and his buddies over a scooter. The perps need to do time irrespective of their ethnicity, and where are the Father's?

𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐀 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫: Ponciano “Chano”Tule-Bernal was killed outside his Oakland home the day after Christmas, right in front of his brother and his 14-year old son.

His brother Armando tells me it all happened because 3 “young people” stole his son’s… pic.twitter.com/w24Ze99x3Z

I feel cheated. When I was on the Grand Jury (twice), we never got to indict politicians. I would have stayed awake for that!

Oakland leaders perpetuate misinformation to justify public safety cuts


https://www.oaklandreport.org/p/oakland-leaders-perpetuate-misinformation

" The city administration and council misleadingly proclaim that Oakland's public safety spending is more than 60% of the budget. But it actually comprises just 25% of the city's overall budget. The falsehood is based on a simple deception: the city operates two budgets and city leaders are only talking about one of them the budget that funds police and fire. But they do not account for the second one that funds non-safety services.

…..Police and fire are funded almost exclusively from that first budget, the General Purpose Fund (GPF), which is the unrestricted fund. Those services comprise 65% of $758M GPF budget. Conversely non-safety departments are primarily funded out of the second budgetthe $1,425M restricted funds budget. Non-safety activities consume 97.5% of those restricted funds.

….So what can be done?

First and foremost, the city and the council need to stop raiding public safety resources and redistributing them to administrative and social service activities. And in their budgeting decisions, they need to weigh the full budgets of each department, not just the GPF portion. They need to apportion resources according to the reality of Oakland's street-excessive crime, urban blight, rampant dumping, and severe homelessness-not ideological doctrine, transactional politics, or wishful thinking.

Oakland's leaders and a pliant media are deliberately aiming to further cut the 25% currently spent on public safety, while leaving other spending virtually untouched. That's a choice that may amplify the city's safety crisis and exacerbate its downward economic spiral."

Raise your hand if you thought she was guilty ? Why ?

Nepotism and Oakland governance been tight since the early 1900's

Who was your favorite Mayor?

Phil Matier, who has a lot of experience following these stories, said tonight on KGO TV News that in his recollection, prosecutors are batting a 1000 going after bent politicians in California. He said the reason is the government is afraid to indict these grifters unless the evidence is slam dunk. She going down.
