To some extent I agree, but Oakland is also a place where criminals just seem to thrive. I don't know why anyone would even drive their vehicle into the city knowing how crime ridden it is.

I watched a pregnant woman get BEATEN at a local Oakland KFC by two black males. They were literally kicking her and punching her in the gut. Why? Because she wouldn't move her car from a more "desired" parking spot.

The police even arrived on scene, and didn't even give chase the the two men.

Oakland is just a haven for criminals looking to make victims, $17 or not.

Well, this story is probably a lie but what's most interesting is that you made it a point to state the race of these 2 attackers.

Why is that relevant to your story?

LOL

Agreed. Actual Murders could be down, but if shootings are happening, the potential for murder was there.

Oakland is going to look like a Mad Max film if the council lays off the 130 officers they want on the chopping block.

Well, leave it to you to be completely inappropriate and "laugh out loud" about a pregnant woman being beaten down in broad daylight, then again, you'd rather ignore Oakland's problems and concentrate on posting pictures of $800,000 "middle class" homes in Rockridge.

To answer your somewhat pointless question, hopefully someone local can use any information I'm able to provide to find the culprits of this crime, and they are prosecuted to the full letter of the law.

Prove that I ever said that.

I don't suspect you are going to respond because a LIE cannot be substantiated.

Nope. You relish the opportunity to pick on any person of color. This is evidenced by your contempt of Hispanics as you yourself have stated that you discriminate against them.

Furthermore, all of your trite stereotyping fails miserably when compared to actual facts.

Crime in Oakland is down, now on a healthy three year trend and we are likely to see that continue. You cannot refute that, the proof is in the numbers.

Now run along.

No need for me to find the thread. We both know you said it. Now you're trying to turn this into some big issue over your honor instead of concentrating on the true problems with Oakland, namely; budget deficit, extremely high crime, and poor public schooling.

Why do you keep engaging this person? The sooner we stop encouraging him, the sooner he will GO AWAY, which is something we all want...
