Oakland, CA and Violence

I am accused of concentrating too much on Chicago. Of course they make it easy by being a catastrophe of the highest order, but they are not the only city where civilization is breaking down. After deadliest day of 2021, Oakland reels from gun violence

The implications are, of course, that the guns are to blame, but then violence would be up uniformly across the country, and not concentrated in Democratic strongholds.

The most annoying quote in the whole piece is probably...

The high rate of killings in the first quarter of the year, usually a quieter period, worries longtime victim advocates like Marilyn Washington Harris, who lost her son to gun violence in 2000. She said she was exhausted Wednesday, after meeting with another mother who lost a son to gun violence.

“It’s mind-boggling. Nobody seems to know what to do,” she said. “Meanwhile families still go on losing loved ones.”

"Broken Windows" is not politically correct, so nobody seems to know about it.

The Mercury News is a California paper, so they pay homage to all of the Leftist talking points.

The breakdown of the family, as the first step to the breakdown of civilization, is not on their radar. Right and Wrong are two words not in their vocabulary. Forget Good and Evil. Forget just obeying the law.
