Reply to comment by RandomUsername600 in Family of Oakland baker seeks 'restorative justice' for her death following robbery by IAmNotARobot124

Oakland is shreds. The fabric is just torn to shreds. Living there I felt like I wanted a big safety vest that said 'civilian'

Just working a job and living in the city was traumatic. Ended up homeless. Punched off my bike, held up whole closing a cafe, watched people die of bullet wounds, and generally just felt threatened and hopeless at all times. Sucks because I remember the city being much better in the early 2000's. Maybe that was just my nativity.

Clown world. As if their opinion should matter since arresting them would primarily be so they don’t rob and kill other people lol

The delusion is very real here in the Bay. People are actually like this, its mindblowing...meanwhile my friends kids are witnessing dead bodies being shoved out of vans at stop signs in broad daylight and all the dudes working the taco trucks wear bullet vests. At minimum twice a week i hear sideshows and gunfire within a couple block radius. Totally super normal...and our DA's are letting it all ride.

It's a trip living and working around some of the planted wealthiest zip codes but much of it looks like a third world country...

We’ve been working in the Bay Area for the last 10 years or so, it’s definitely gotten worse. Especially parts of Oakland.

People stealing our tools while guys are up in the air working. Homeless people threatening our workers. Even parts of Berkeley are bad.
