Oakland demorat mayor Sheng Thao (left).
Earlier this month the Oakland NAACP called for a “state of emergency” over soaring crime in their city. From my post:
“Oakland NAACP leaders have called for a state of emergency over soaring crime in the area, as they blame the defund the police movement and the George Soros- backed district attorney for the rising violence.
She wrote a letter alongside Bishop Bob Jackson of the Acts Full Gospel Church to ring the alarm about the shootings, robberies and murders that have become a common occurrence in the district.
The NAACP letter comes as North Oakland has seen a a 22 percent increase in robberies and 18 percent increase in violent crime this year.
Murder levels abruptly spiked from the 78 seen in 2019 to 109 in 2020 – the same years calls for defunding the police, spurred by the Black Lives Matter movement, were introduced in earnest.
Read the whole depressing (and predictable) story here.
But democrats never learn, as Oakland hasn’t had a republican mayor since the 1960s.
So this is now what they get:
Outrage in Oakland as wild video shows woman being violently dragged on the ground during armed robbery
From The Daily Mail:
“Shocking video has emerged of a woman being pistol-whipped and dragged across gravel by two thugs in Democrat-led Oakland as the city grapples with a surging crime wave.
The attack happened last week Wednesdayat 6.15 pm on International Boulevard, and left the unidentified woman with severe injuries, police investigating in the East Bay city said.
Footage shows the woman being confronted by two men who try to grab several items from her, including her purse, before she’s violently struck with the weapon.
She is then seen falling to the ground before being pulled across the floor by her purse as both men rifle through her pockets. The attackers are both on the run and the woman’s condition as of Tuesday is unknown.”
You can read the whole story here and watch the disturbing video at the link, if you so choose.
Under Biden’s America, democrat-run cities are absolutely failing their citizens. Just look at what’s occurring in Los Angeles, Portland, Chiraq, Philadelphia, Seattle, Baltimore, New York, etc. etc. It may be too little, too late for democrats to realize the obvious point:

Despite all that, Oakland voters will continue to vote not just Democrat, but far Left. That’s why “Liberalism” is a
mentalspiritual disorder.I whole heartedly agree–we have millions of citizens who suffer from this spiritual disorder. It is just mind boggling.
If they want all that to change then they need to use their influence to get the vote out and make the change. Till they want it bad enough it’s not about to happen.
I wonder if she voted for democrats.
This is the result of decades of brainwashing and dumbing down in our public schools. Today’s teachers and civic leaders are the adult “dumbed downs.” They will continue voting for the same Communists who have taken control of our Republic, that no longer exists.
