More Kalifornia lawlessness

This doesn't happen in Arizona...... soon a "mob of thugs" is going to run straight into an armed citizen not willing to part with his wallet and many thugs will die. Then we will have a national outcry that "Thug Lives Matter".






BART takeover robbery: 40 to 60 teens swarm train, hold up riders
By Demian Bulwa and Michael Cabanatuan Updated 8:49 pm, Monday, April 24, 2017

BART police are beefing up patrols at Oakland stations after dozens of juveniles terrorized riders Saturday night when they invaded the Coliseum Station and commandeered at least one train car, forcing passengers to hand over bags and cell phones and leaving at least two with head injuries.
The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses told police that 40 to 60 juveniles flooded the station, jumped the fare gates and rushed to the second-story train platform. Some of the robbers apparently held open the doors of a Dublin-bound train car while others streamed inside, confronting and robbing and in some cases beating riders.
“I’ve been there 24 years and this is the first time I’ve heard of anything like this happening,” said Keith Garcia, a BART police officer and union president.

Best investment I ever made was the move out of CA.

After you guys are able to retire and move yourself and your families out of the cesspool that is California, maybe we can put a fence there and keep them from polluting the rest of the nation. That place is falling apart at a speed that is unstoppable.

The crumbling has gone on for decades. Thank you US Army for giving me the means to say "adios" back in '69.

Missouri seems to have a different take on things.

Some in France have a different take on things as well.

WTF? After 5 decades of doing my best to treat everyone equally regardless of skin color or religion, I find myself becoming like these people who want to do me harm because of my skin color and religion.
A deceased friend who was a Choctaw native American commented that he didn't mind so much the whites came and conquered the continent, but he did mind that they brought their black dogs with them. I told him I thought that was a horribly racist thing to say...now I'm wondering if he was right.

Washington (State) is too late. They have come and are currently instituting the same f'd up policies that destroyed California.

Too many recent actions to list....

Be gratefull for all the racial healing that's gone on in the previous 8 years.

Still, has almost always been so; diversity+proximity=conflict (on some level).

That's truly sad. It's been about 20 years ago so my information is dated, but my mom lived in Northern California for several years and back then it was very conservative. Not sure if it still is or not, but the fact that it has creeped into Washington state is unnerving and disappointing.

I'm afraid that when it comes to gun laws, today is probably the best it will be and from tomorrow forward will only get worse. I am too the point where it feels as though we will have to fight tooth-and-nail just to keep the pro-gun laws we have now. Sad!

Well the same could be said of Maryland (Maryfornia which we call it now days). This state has always swung left, except certain counties (Eastern Shore, Harford, Cecil, and a few others). This will definitely be a one time job for Gov. Hogan for sure; amazing that as a Republican he was elected.

The same thing happened in the Murder Capital Baltimore City on Presidents Day weekend. A bunch of young juvenile thugs ages 12-16 assaulted a man (he was white), he was walking down the street when the kids started striking him. They punched and insulted him, and cheering on the abuse. They then stole his phone, and this in broad daylight outside of the train station, during rush hour. The same thing happened about 1/2 hour later in another area of the city.

That is why I live in the country, F Baltimore City. Every night on the news either someone is shot, stabbed, attacked or there is some sort of protest about crap. Crazy times.....

The Jan Elliott thing was off the charts. It was a mandatory assembly, no phones were allowed, no questions were to be asked, no parents were allowed and it went down hill from the time the skank was introduced.

Her first act was to lean over into the microphone and said something like 'Don't touch me again' when Principle patted her on the arm.
