Even CNN Is Noticing How Lawless Oakland Has Become

The city of Oakland continues to grapple with a crime wave that has shocked and stoked fear in even the most progressive California voter. The crime problem has gotten so out of control it got CNN's attention enough to send a correspondent to report on the situation.


What CNN found was terrified residents, one of whom is moving out of the city, and business owners who are struggling to deal with the violent and brazen thefts that are negatively impacting their livelihoods.

"I love Oakland. It's very hard for me and my son" to move away, Kristin Cook told CNN. "I can't take it anymore. I got to the point I was too scared to leave my house."

While murder rates are down, thefts and carjackings are up. What makes it worse is victims are often violently attacked even if they comply with the criminals' demands.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I honestly can't remember a time when Oakland WASN'T lawless,and the first time I went  there was in 1965.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
