    I grew up in the Bay Area.
    Oakland has ALWAYS been out of control. So, what is new?

    I don't know what side show they are referring to.

    They looted a truck with paper products, great. Then torched it. Not surprising. What else am I missing here.

    Most people who live in the bay area like me drive through Oakland but never stop there. It's a cesspool, and so is its next door neighbor Berkeley.
     
    D.Tibbitt, bzinger, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this.

    I lived in Castro Valley next to Oakland and don’t know why people get so scared of it. Don’t you all know Oakland has strict gun laws that keep us protected.:confused:


    Neat thing about Oakland is they have microphones throughout the city that detects gun fire so the police know where to go.
