APPARENTLY THEY DON'T ALL LOOK ALIKE

Yesterday the Oakland Police arrested a Chinese shopkeeper for using a gun to prevent a robbery. Now, given that I have long despised Oakland, that does not surprise me. Oakland is a hellhole, a toxic pit. And crime against Asians has spiked enormously over the last year with the police (chief LeRonne Armstrong) and city council (mayor Libby Schaaf) seemingly quite powerless to stop it.

The police encourage people not to buy guns.

The police will protect them.

What's amazing is that the authorities knew within minutes which Oriental person had fired a gun. No, they didn't catch the robber, who was not identified and escaped in a vehicle.
But really, it could have been anybody. Who wasn't Chinese.


"Our message really is that we don’t want to see our business owners or others begin to arm themselves. We would really prefer them to be good witnesses and give us the observations that they have; share that information, call law enforcement immediately and let OPD respond and follow up. What we really don’t want to do is bring any additional issues that threaten safety into the equation."
------Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong


Oakland is a very diverse city, with African Americans, Caucasians, and Hispanics in roughly equal number. The Asian community is about eighteen percent of the total. Chinatown has seen a rapid uptick in violence and robberies, as the African Americans, Caucasians, and Hispanics, turn on their fellow citizens.

One factor that bears on this: many of the victims have been elderly people. The general population is younger, and more mobile. And African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic.

Nothing to see here folks, just move along.
