Is Oakland competing with Chicago? Cool. Another notch in Gavin’s Belt. Rah!
Something is wrong with the community. How do you get the belief that you have the right to take another person’s life. Revenge killing is so bad that they kill each other at funerals. However their prevailing view on crime and justice will only lead to the slaughter continuing.
Grew up in Oakland in the 70s and 80s. Was a paramedic there for over 20 years. Will never set foot there again.
…. another day in Oaktown … feel really bad for the victims … and the new Mayor wanted a $75K salary increase being in the job not even a year? hmmmmmmm
