He is a real trick. An immigrant transplant ? I have asked him on twitter several times what his plan ? Nothing just all talk and no answers. He is aligned with one of the mayoral candidates whom lost to someone clearly not prepared for the job that Libby left

Let me clarify…. What race/ethnicity?


Most of the folks breaking into and/or stealing cars in my neighborhood seem to be black or hispanic. The guy who rode up on a bike into my work parking lot and broke into cars two weeks ago was black. Beyond that, I defer to crime statistics.

Interesting that the owner blames crime but it says in the article that business is only at 25% of prepandemic levels. Is crime really the primary reason he lost 75% of his customers? It is possible but I think the pandemic had something to do with it.

Why was he fired/let go to begin with ?

Those whom grew up around him say he is nothing more than uncle ruckus(see the boondocks)

A lot beat cops in Oakland have given up. My Oakland property is on a dead end and they park there to eat /break time and everytime we talk they sound like the problems created by politicians are not their problem to fix. Too many immigrants and in turn believe they are the ones doing the majority of armed robberies/take over(fake sideshow) the young black population has dwindled. Immigrants and their offspring don't care because they think they are white because they not Black.

I don't know. Is this a typical career arc for a 1st time mayor? Seems like it.

She was on the city council, which is a pretty normal progression to Mayor. That said, I was surprised she won after she represented my district and I'd barely heard about anything she did on the council, aside from standard ribbon-cutting type stuff.

The amusing part of it is the Tarantino Mexican standoff scene that is brewing with the Mayor, Madame DA, and city government officials all pointing the finger at each other as Rome burns (I think at the last town hall Madame DA said "I'm not the mayor" two or three times).

It's the same playbook we saw from the far left on the SF School Board: if you disagree with us, you must be a right-winger. It's also the Trump playbook, being run from a different direction.

Another Town Hall with planted supporters or a an interview pitching softballs or a prerecorded message. What you won't see is a press conference or a town hall with legitimate Q & A.

*Walter Riley, a Civil Rights attorney, was on the 10 pm news on KTVU bashing the Oakland Branch of the NAACP. He forgot to add that he was a contributor to Madame DA's campaign and that he is on her transition team.

I see I see … more talking and no leadership. what's killing me is now the NAACP has something to say ???? Are you fricking kidding me they wait until the Black (indigenous/freedmen descendants population has dwindled to less than 10% to say anything. All skin folk ain't kin folk.
Any "Black" not speaking for Reparations first and foremost are 99% disingenuous. Unless the clock(15-20yrs) is moved back and immigration on every level nationally/State/city-county is honestly deal with fixing this mess will be a tall task . Those whom continue to apply Black criminality to the woes of Oakland are going to get rude awakening.

Yeah last few times I called 911 in Oakland (over the past couple yrs) I got a busy signal or answering machine.

I reported a dead mutilated dog of E. 14th. /53rd and got a quicker response from animal control smh

Driving that make and model vehicle most likely means they are either Hispanic or of South Pacific descent.

That is the favorite car they steal and go do street take overs and armed robberies with (NOT SIDESHOWS !!!!!!!!!!!)

He is born and raised in Oakland. To me it seems from the onset something very fishy is going on. It's more going on/at work beneath the surface. I truly feel a lot this crimes are for hire hits to push the narrative first but then …

Regardless of what this group is doing, is there not still an increase in crime? People always want to focus on the "narrative," but ultimately the reality on the ground will drive voter behavior.
