Reference is made in the piece about the absurdly-progressive, 'prosecution is racist' Oakland DA Pamela Price, including an ironic aside about her work vehicle being broken into on the streets of Oakland and her work laptop stolen.
Yesterday, when I heard the Price/laptop story, I laughed out loud when I read the next element in the story, that Price had called the police to report the crime and was told that - if she didn't want to wait for an LEO to show up - she could submit a report of the theft online. After waiting an hour, she gave up and filed the report online. Damn, that is just funny, in a gallows-humor sort of way.
I have a long personal and family history in the SF Bay Area. My 3L internship was with the judicial staff for the US District Court in Oakland. I continue to have relatives in the area, including a niece who works at Kaiser/Oakland. She tells me that she is on edge whenever she goes out for lunch, keeping her head on a swivel. I worry for her safety. There are no 'safe areas.' She tells me that Oakland has been a hot dumpster-fire mess for years.
Now THAT is what I call "justice" I've read similar stories of :Defund the Police" loonies in New York actually being physically accosted and learn very quickly that just maybe they were wrong about their support of those Woke ideals. Of course they'd never publicly admit it
As a heads up: The "drug war" built the current militarized surveillance state. It began the criminalization of the citizen and the assault on civil rights that allowed heavily armed assault teams dressed in Kevlar, bearing automatic weapons, and riding in militarized vehicles, to become part of the American landscape. Now even your friendly IRS agent is packing heat. The illegal wire tap and the eyeball watching you through this screen had their origin in the Nixon White House. Which later admitted. The drug war had nothing to do with drugs. It was created to allow the criminalization, arrest and murder of Blacks and White radicals. ---Are we dangerous? No but our freedom is.
The "meth head" in the park carries our censure and condemnation but the clear reality is the dollars flowing upward to fill numbered political and cartel accounts. Drugs are money and money is power. The CIA/FBI involvement in the drug trade is well established fact. The mysteriously dead San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb is only one example. And prisons are also a profitable enterprise. Check out the Taibbi article on the knowing and willing central bankster's at BOA and HSBC who built special teller windows to make it easier to receive boxes of cartel cash (which they couldn't wait to launder). They walked. Cartels and fentanyl control entire sections of major American cities. But "we the people" are the criminals.----It is the job of the well paid minions of the "woke"/D.E.I. to ensure chaos, disintegration and division so that corporate fascism and the DNC/CCP/Davos grift can fill the chasms with graft and continue their looting unhindered and unscathed. Trump is arrested and assailed with manufactured charges on multiple fronts while White House- for-Sale Joe Biden, obviously neck deep in Ukranian corruption, walks.
A cartel of international criminal financiers (DNC/CCP/WEF/EU/ Davos) fully intends to impose totalitarian control over the free peoples of the world. Mr. Scott embodies the agency and courage we all need to stop it cold. GOT CONSTITUTION?
It stinks that you got a parking ticket, but fortunate that the car was not broken into by the “meth freak” or stolen.
If your car was stolen, you would be forced to pay for its towing (without the catalytic converter it’s not running) and a storage fee. Maybe the policy is to notify you when the car is impounded (there is the vin number registered with DMV) but the profit motive of retaining your car and running kup astronomical fees could delay notification. You can use the car’s geo location app for finding your car on an impound lot. Please don’t have the expectation that the police will use the app to retrieve your car from the homeless camp where it is being stripped of anything valuable.
The whole experience is like being robbed twice and leaves you trying to figure which theft cost you more.

Re the laptop story: irony is not the opposite of wrinkly.
All residents of Alameda County who care about making our communities safe from crime should sign the Price recall petition. ASAP.

MD Greene: The Homeless is a billion dollar business for the bureaucrats in San Francisco. They don't want the gravy train to end.
