If you call the Oakland police to report a crime and they don't show up, is that included in the statistics?

Guilty verdict reached in murder case of Pleasanton woman whose body was found dismembered on Alameda shoreline


https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/13/guilty-verdict-reached-in-murder-case-of-pleasanton-woman-whose-body-was-found-dismembered-on-alameda-shoreline/

"During their relationship, Roberts penned an op-ed for USA Today, decrying the #MeToo movement by saying that he'd been falsely accused of sexual assault. Betsy DeVos, the former U.S. Secretary of Education under President Trump, used Roberts as an example as she championed rolling back Obama-era protections for alleged victims of sexual assault on college campuses.

Roberts was elected in 2020 to serve as a delegate in the San Francisco Republican County Central Committee, and openly talked about how sorority members at Savannah State University in Georgia wrongly accused him of sexual harassment."

^ When a murder is also a dismemberment, it manages to seem at least 10x worse, doesn't it?

I hate those dismemberments!

At least Tony Soprano's crew had the common decency to grind at Satriale's after dismemberment.

Well, if some random tech bro on X said it, then it MUST be true. No need to verify. I'm sure he's entirely unbiased in his observations. Tech bros are well known for their social skills and ability to interact with the real world. And he paid for a blue check, so that means he can be trusted.


Besides: he's lived in "sketchy" ( a well used and clearly defined sociological term) places so he KNOWS!

^ My 11 yr old daughter was just there at Skyline last week for a soccer tryout. Bottom line, she might have left her 9 mm. at the base of a light pole (or so she says), which might explain a lot. Oops!

(some of the above is true)

When I was home from Berkeley for a time and had a part-time job, my boss (who was close to my age) got in a shootout at a SoCal high school football game. He killed the guy but got shot in the face. He walked on self defense.

Read a story recently that Oakland changed a street light out to a street sign presumably because homeless people kept stealing the copper from the light. Cray cray.

Oakland's got a $177 million dollar budget deficit for this current fiscal year ending in June.
The only thing that's saving them is their share of $105 million from the sale of the Coliseum property.

Like most cities, once the Covid Federal Money runs out Cities like Oakland and San Jose will be screwed.
Don't even get me started on unfunded pension liability.

In 2014, Oakland had an unfunded pension liability of $1.5 Billion.
It's now well over $2 Billion.

As it is, CALPERS only has 72 cents of every dollar in retirement benefits already promised to workers.

Where is this money going to come from?

Maybe the whole point of allowing shoplifting and looting is to get to the point where the majority of people would tolerate a surveillance state.

I guess this is actually a thing, getting a Chinese name. (I googled it.) Well, I would get one, except for two things:

a) Why on earth would I want a Chinese name if I'm not Chinese? Maybe there's something I don't know about this?
b) My friends who are Chinese would laugh in my face.

Maybe if she got a Chinese name, she would be better received by Chinese Communist Party members lurking in and around the Bay Area like Senator Feinstein's driver?
