Suspend CIVIL LIBERTIES in Oakland -

My civil disobedience continues - went thru the Oakland airport tonite. There's a sign, picture of Mayor Dellums. I did this..... crude, but effective!

I think I travel next week - I'll make a better sign. Trust me on that.

Oakland is the only good reason for BART not to go all the way around the bay
Haha damn right it is... there are towns that aren't building BART stations for that reason alone. When I was working at Applebee's in Dublin we used to call BART the ghetto portal. And because the BART system hadn't been around in Dublin for very long, you could always tell when someone came into the restaurant that did not belong. Usually the self-entitled whiny trash someone else was talking about earlier in this thread. I used to deal with it maybe once or twice a night... not too bad for the most part but they could easily ruin a good night if you let them. I don't find many occasions to visit the Oakland/Hayward area but one time I found myself having to visit East Bay Motorsports, and I decided to get a hot dog next door while I waited for something to finish there, and when I stepped in the door, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the customers was one of those types of motherfuckers. I was like, "Jesus... so THIS is where they're all coming from!" Just nuke the damn place if you ask me. :laughing
 
Watts riots ring any bells? South Central LA, South East DC?

Urban warfare zones, mostly black on black.

Maybe add the National Guard to the list of organizations necessary to settle this down?

Have them set up tent cities surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers?

In other words, go in and pacify the area. Any convicted felon in possession of a weapon or hard drugs (cocaine, heroin, weed, PCP, peyote, etc.) gets automatic life imprisonment (that includes the felons' fingerprints or DNA on a weapon).

Any other person's fingerprints or DNA on the weapon gets automatic five-year sentence.

"Cruel to be kind, in the right measure"

Dude, weed ain't a hard drug...I'd recommend you try it.

By the way, way to go Oaklanlion. I'm glad you are at putting yourself out there. That takes balls...what did the city worker ask you, that could have got him in trouble?

You see gang violence as a gun control issue? That must have taken a lot of thought.

Richmond is a bigger reason. Close proximity to Richmond is why BART will never go to Marin and access the North Bay. Oakland at least has some beautiful old buildings and proud history prior to when it started to go down the toilet in the 50's. Richmond just sucks. It's like all the bad parts of Oakland without the decaying culture and history.

I think you should photochop his head onto Waldo's body and start the "Where's Ron" Campaign...

Dude- Richmond has some nice places... like the point and the heights.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate it. I'll be honest, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, but I'm trying.


As for the city IT worker, I hope he doesn't lose his job due to budget cuts. He didn't say anything that would get himself in trouble. Nice man.
 
You get used to it. It's not like Philly was any cleaner (garbage strikes were always fun).

If Richmond had a football team, it would probably be as big a cancer to human decency as the Eagles. :x






:teeth
 
I suggested to Wendy earlier today that we should sweep through west Oakland and pick up everyone under the age of 14, and then napalm the whole area...

The most dangerous shooters in Oakland are the 12-17 year olds.
 
The 12 year-olds aren't beyond help, imo. Just imitating what they see around them.

I get the feeling you have never met any oaktown 12 year old thug wannabes from East Oakland. The West Oakland ones are pussies. The East Oakland kids can be totally vicious. And yes, given enough funding, time, education, care and compassion, I am sure you can turn that around. Let me know how that works out. I'll hold on to my nine.

So will I. Compassionate, not stupid. :thumbup
