It is beyond time to set up decoys that walk around like naive students, but with one very importantRead More proviso. They will be wearing bullet-proof vests and have a strict shoot-to-kill order when these kinds of incidents happen again. Now let's take a real BITE out of crime, shall we?

Thats crazy! Things in north oakland are getting brazen. I wont ride my bike down there at night itsRead More just too sketchy. It really creeps me out to ride the F or 88 down there as well. But again we also dont really know the whole story of what actually happened. I thought North Oakland was getting better. He probably should have taken Telegraph to 40th instead of going through that sketchy area. South Berkeley and North Oakland have their fair share of problems.

It's really sad that this had to happen and to someone so young! my heart goes out to the victim andRead More his family. As a current resident of Oakland however, I have encountered many shady individuals and creepers on the streets (especially at night). Although the city has it's positives ( I live in a beautiful vibrant neighborhood closer to the Oakland hills), it's important for everyone to keep a lookout when venturing downtown. It makes me sad that incidents like this give the place I call home a horrible reputation for crime and violence.

It's is beyond time for the military to take over parts of Oakland and install curfew's with aRead More strict "shoot to kill" order for those who do not follow orders. We will need to bulldoze down housing projects and start a house to house search for contraband. And I'm a liberal and a strong Constitutionalist. These emergency measures will be lifted after the threat is neutralized.

Does anyone know where in the Marina this happened? I walk my dogs there every morning and willRead More certainly be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Claudia ( and Charles ) - KTVU News reported this morning that it happened in bathroom nearRead More Adventure Playground. Subject described as African American having blond-with-green-streaks hair ( could this be a wig? ).

My god, was he actually trying to bicycle across I-80?

Who knows. They don't have any expressways in Jamaica Plain (there aren't many expressways in BostonRead More at all), so maybe it's not something he's used to.
