While that all makes sense it doesn’t make it right

No amount of laws can fix this. It is a societal problem

If we had a society that was cohesive in their values it would never be an issue, but we have watered down American society and allowed it to be split where one side believes criminals are actually victims. When those people are in positions of power from the police officer all the way up to the DA's office, state legislatures etc, and juries, no amount of laws can create law and order, as they will just be ignorned, maliciously interpreted, etc.

2 pages and not one mention of self defense (carry) insurance.
I follow the guidelines that they provide as per my situation and location, seeing as they are my first line of defense.

They can't do shit to protect you when a leftist DA files first degree charges, a leftist judge sets no bail, and they drag you through 12 months of court, you lose your job, extinguish your savings, lose your home after you can pay the mortgage....

In a lot of areas mayors higher the pc. The mayor may not run day to day operations but they do influence how the police department is run. They can hire a tough on crime pc if thats what they want or they xan higher a soft on crime pc.
Also OPD is under a Federal Consent Decree for alleged heavy handed tactics and' "harassment." For the most part, cops aren't going the extra mile like they were.

I have stopped at that location many times to grab a bite before my flight home. Never felt particularly unsafe, but it's Oakland. One time I had to leave extra time to get to the airport due to riots across the freeway. Fun place...

Now those Leftists are crying for more cops. They refuse to acknowledge that proactive law enforcement is needed. They want the smile and wave cops in their hoods waving and playing basketball. Waste of time!!

I currently work with someone who used to work for OPD "Back in the day." According to him, it was a mess back then. They've been under that consent decree for years now, and most likely won't ever be able to meet every single "Recommendation" that's listed in the decree. For that reason, it most likely won't be lifted. I'm sure the salary they are paying the individual who's tasked with managing the decree has NOTHING to do with OPD being free of that nonsense......

If you really want to make yourself angry, look into those details and check it out.

We had one in LA a few years back. Interesting to say the least. Basically the rules were formed by the Wolves running the Chicken Coop.

How do you mean?

Europe and the UK don't have California Democrats.

We kept our kids in school during COVID, don't hand out money to attract the homeless, prosecute crime, etc, etc.
They may not have Ca democrats , but they have the same extreme left / radical left libs / progressives that are running the show right now . While we have millions of undocumented immigrants, Europe has imported quite a few Middle eastern refugees .

I read the article a few days ago but after this RDP Post I checked the location. I thought I would discover it was just a bad placement by In-N-Out google maps and even google street view show they are just off a freeway, right by the major airport, surrounded by other major brands.

In-N-Out did everything right.... Oakland just failed them.

And they won’t have to protect me…as I’ll never ever be in ANY facility in or near Oakland. 🤷🏼‍♂️
(I sent my devices back to Fastrak last year…)
Fast food or otherwise.
And I’ll never ever have another property in CA to defend. 👍
Plus, I have the benefit of being old…I’ve already won the race.

Quote from article

There have been several In-N-Out Burger locations which have required relocation throughout our 75 years, however, our Oakland store will be the first location we have closed.

We feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our Customers and Associates leave us no alternative.

Serves them right. Not the residents but the “powers that be” that perpetuated the lawlessness that created this.

This In & Out is located near the Oakland Airport. Apparently there is a lot of crime around the airport. The rental car companies are warning customers to not fill up their gas tanks at any of the gas stations near the airport. Thieves are targeting unsuspecting travelers by robbing them while they are at the gas stations. They are smashing windows and opening car doors while folks are in their cars. One rental car company said that they have up to 5 broken car windows a day.

How can an elected official think that this is in anyway acceptable. The city leaders should be stripped of their jobs and the city itself should be held accountable for the lack of enforcement! The airport needs to demand a change.
The center that this In n Out is in was also a Walmart location, Wally walked out of there 5 or 6 years ago maybe more and that building is still vacant. I was part of a gas station robbery a few moths ago, I had just pulled up and there was a young lady getting gas on the outside pumps, I was inside, i get out of my rental and a car flys in, dude jumps out of the back seat and grabs her purse out of her car. As the MFER jumped out of the car I was yelling and ran to clock the sob until the drivers window rolled down and I saw the gun... I stopped and backed up and they were gone. I was raging mad and wanted to beat those bastards... I have stopped using OAK in general and go to San Jose which is not all that different now.

Good take. Thumbs up.
I have liberal friends. They are good people but just don't get it. I avoid politics around them.
Corolla leaves Kimmels name out of it because it was Kimmel that gave Corolla a break and a slight but successful shot in show business.

Kimmel is a one joke - no talent pony. Pals around with Hollywood leftist is the only thing that keeps his career afloat.

Corolla worked paycheck to paycheck hard jobs half his life, Kimmel like his leftist friends never worked a day in his life.

Never would have imagined armed robberies happening at an in-n-out Burger being as busy as they tend to be. I know AutoZone's get hit often, now wondering if McDees, BK, Jack, etc. get hit often too?


What are some of the places that more or less surprised you of being robbed at gunpoint?
The Starbucks on Balboa in Knollwood has had three robberies recently. Weapon of choice now is a chopped stock and sawed off barrel shotgun stuck in the cashiers face.
A chance now a families daughter gets a minimum wage, body in constant motion job, hopes for at least $10 after the tips are split and gets her head blown off.

I report it to local news, never covered.
