  1. The D.A. is Nancy O’Malley. Remember her on election day.
    290
  2. Isn't that a home robbery gone right?
    80
  3. She just wanted a trip at public expense.
    59
  4. I’m ok with Bonta’s decision.
    53
  5. We need Chief Armstrong back on the job, and we need a new mayor to do that.
    45
  6. I live in Oakland. It’s a mess.
    39
  7. I’ll be looking for the recall petition.
    36
  8. She attacked him. Correct result, I think.
    25
  9. I live near Oakland Chinatown. I’m all for it. The DA is a separate problem. I want her out.
    21
  10.  @PlumbNutz -- Certainly it was not purposeful, but that does not mean it wasn't criminally negligent.
    18
  11. There is nothing “liberal” about killing people at random. He is an antigovernment nut.
    17
  12. State licensed? Naturopathy is quackery. It is not medicine.
    17
  13. No, you need a DA who is above politics and just does the job properly.
    16
  14. I signed the petition. Crime is rampant in Oakland. The D.A. is not the only person responsible, but she is a big part of it. We ought to recall the mayor as well, and restore Police Chief Armstrong.
    14
  15. It’s terrible news. That was a nice store with a good restaurant. I’ve shopped there many times.
    13
  16. Deportation after any sentence is served. He should get at least 25.
    13
  17. I live in Oakland and I signed the petition. Her refusal to restore Chief Armstrong to his position after she lost in arbitration is an outrage. It isn't enough to recall the mayor. We need to abolish ranked choice voting which put her in office.
    12
  18. When traveling, keep your passport in a pouch worn inside your shirt. This is basic. Keep cash there also.
    12
  19. You can get a legitimate card for nothing, along with a vaccination.
    12
  20. Not that unpredictable. I can predict that people who get on rocks next to the surf will occasionaly get knocked into the water. It isn't that rare.
    12
  21. San Francisco needs a proscutor as DA, not another defense attorney.
    12
  22. The gentleman who said “this just doesn’t happen” was wrong. It doesn’t happen often, so people just don’t think about the possibility of something ending in death. But when people push the limits in any activity, a few people will go too far.
    12
  23. Maybe the board should be recalled.
    12
  24. It's unusual for In-n-Out to close a location, but I'm not surprised. Street crime is way out of control in Oakland.
    11
  25. Did he have a car? He might have gone off the road somewhere.
    11
  26. I have no sympathy for Elder, who had the knife and committed the murder. The other, it seems to me, was an accomplice after the fact, so should not be treated identically. Both guilty, though.
    10
  27.  @dreaminbronze9189 — I've been in Oakland thirty years, and I'm with Kaia.
    10
  28. I’m in Oakland. I’m ok with this lawsuit. If it removes the mayor that will be a good result. We ought to get rid of ranked chice voting altogether. It does not produce better government.
    8
  29. More likely an insurance claim. There would only be a lawsuit if United Airlines refused to pay. That's not likely.
    8
  30. This is the dumbest protest I know of. I think UCB should build a sturdy structure on this lot. Provid3 space for a plaque memorializing the significance of th3 site. I’ll bet most people opposing this building weten’t even alive at the time of the People’s Park protests (I was.). History is narrative. A vacant lot is not significant. History does not disappear when the site is repurposed.
    8
  31. Do you think the police can be everywhere that such a crime might be committed at all times? How many police officers would be needed? They did make a prompt arrest, and that is all that you can reasonably expect.
    7
  32. I live in Oakland, but I’m not going to carry. I just try to maintain situational awareness. I witnessed an auto breakin in which a woman’s backpack was taken. It takes only seconds to shatter a side window and snatch an object like that. Do not leave purses, backpacks, or computer bags in your car, unattended, ever! Not even for a few seconds. That applies anywhere, not just Oakland.
    7
  33. Maybe he only had one tooth.
    7
  34. I live in Oakland and this disgusts me. I have no confidence in the mayor, who is just another one of these ranked-choice winners. We should dump ranked-choice voting along with the mayor.
    7
  35. I’m with the DA on this.
    7
  36. I live in Oakland and I don’t want a nickel of public money spent to keep the A’s. They are owned now by developers, not baseball people. Every proposal they put forward has expensive condo developments attached. I like baseball but am opposed to subsidizing property developers.
    7
  37. We did not send them. They are two individuals, not representatives of the USA.
    6
  38. No, it is not an insurrection. It is a demonstration and a protest. There could be disorderly conduct charges if they are ordered to leave and they refuse. I haven’t heard of any violence in this demonstration.
    6
  39. San Francisco is reaping the consequences of ranked choice voting.
    6
  40. The people making these attacks are not immigrants.
    6
  41. No. He bailed because she bypassed him when she held this oress conference and talked about the issue he was hired to deal with. That's all it is.
    6
  42. There is always a good chance of getting a flake on a jury in California.
    6
  43. Don’t leave the car running!
    6
  44. She was never a billionaire, though. She had overvalued stock, not money.
    6
  45. It is odd no matter where he is sitting. An irrational act cannot be understood by rational analysis.
    6
  46. drugs
    6
  47. Such a sad way to go out. I have long supported her, but I thought she should not have run in her last election.
    6
  48. There is a lot of overlap in those two groups.
    5
  49. Stupid crime. You can get over a broken relationship. You can’t get over a life sentence.
    5
  50. I support Oakland PD, but I have no confidence in the Police Commission or the Mayor and Council.
    5
  51. Thao is not believable when she says it was her decision to change attornies. Had it been, she would have told Brass before the press conference, and would have the name of her new attorney at her fingertips. This confusion is a sign of her inexperience.
    5
  52. Note that the Nordstrom in Walnut Creek was hit. It isn’t just places like Oakland.
    5
  53. Excessive speed, clearly.
    5
  54. Commercial airplanes are federally regulated. Newsom cannot set policy for them.
    5
  55. She is not Chinese.
    5
  56. It would be a misdemeanor if convicted. Jail, not prison, so nobody.
    5
  57. She was also charged with possession of a controlled substance. There are several people with that name. I wonder if she is the person described as an addiction counselor or mental healt counselor.
    5
  58. Probably a gas leak.
    5
  59. Mainly because booking photos aren’t available until some time after suspects are booked. Also because there may be a policy of not identifying juveniles who are arrested, regardless of color.
    5
  60. Good arrest, but will they get the sentences they deserve?
    5
  61. We have a Chief of Police, Armstrong, who should be returned to duty now. If Mayor Thao won’t do it, we need to recall Thao.
    5
  62. The term is "recalled."
    5
  63. Why take your children out on the ocean in November? Your duty as a parent is to protect your children, not entertain them.
    4
  64. Gentrification isn’t the problem. Inadequate police and jails are the problem. This crime has gotten worse in just the past few years.
    4
  65. He is being held without bond. Try to keep up.
    4
  66. No. The value isn’t the laptop, it’s the data.
    4
  67.  @markh3279  — If you carry concealed without a permit, you can be charged with a crime for that.
    4
  68. It doesn’t matter to me if that business collapses.
    4
  69. The FSK Bridge in Baltimore had no fender at all around the main pylons. Shocking, really, considering the example of the Sunshine Skyway only a few years after it was built.
    4
  70. No. They got there about an hour after it started.
    4
  71. It has a stop sign and a crossbuck. That is sufficient for public crossings on low-traffic roads, so it should suffice for private crossings. The rule is the same: stop, look, and listen.
    4
  72. baloney
    4
  73. This is a developing story. There should be more information tomorrow. The press deserve credit for not speculating, while the people who comment on these stories just make things up.
    4
  74. Sheng Thao was born in the United States.
    4
  75. You mean mayor. She will be gone soon.
    4
  76. That SUV had plenty of room to back up. For that matter he could have gone forward.
    4
  77. Humans are born to protect their own, like most animals.
    4
  78. They had an auxiliary ferry tank system, according to the NTSB.
    4
  79. The only way to fire an elected official is by recall.
    4
  80. Chinese cooking would suffer greatly without gas stoves, because they need high power. Restaurant cooking generally is better done with gas. In the home, I prefer gas, but my gas consumption for cooking is a tiny part of what I use for heating. Going after cooking with gas is just tokenism. Woke nonsense.
    4
  81. This was probably too small to make a difference. A stronger earthquake will reduce the degree of tilt.
    4
  82. The details are not yet available. If the press did not out there and say something, people would say they were covering it up.
    4
  83.  @unknownscp169  — I think you have it backwards.
    4
  84. It’s pretty obvious the truck driver couldn’t have seen the approaching train until it was too late. I don’t see even a warning sign at that crossing.
    4
  85. "Defund the police" is just rhetoric. The fact is, the Oakland Police budget is up 18% since 2019.
    3
  86. No. SF is just as bad.
    3
  87. Wait for the trial.
    3
  88. It is a minimum security prison camp. No golf or tennis. No swimming pool.
    3
  89. We could use twice as many police in Oakland. Crime is out of control and a lot of criminals are armed.
    3
  90. There is nothing here which gives her politics.
    3
  91. “ant”?
    3
  92. There is no reason Biden would consider intervening in this case.
    3
  93. It was found by police in the search.
    3
  94. Arraignment will be Monday.
    3
  95. Good job finding these guys!
    3
  96. This report does not list all the charges.
    3
  97. The police in Oakland have not been defunded.
    3
  98.  @Skim_beeble7125  — wrong
    3
  99. There is no reason to recall Newsom. You're not liking him is no reason.
    3
  100. Price was recalled for political reasons. Those are not reasons for disbarment. Disbarment is a matter for the profession, not the people.
    3
  101. You can get a CCW permit here, and you should, before carrying. You will have to take a safety course. No reasonable person should object to that.
    3
  102. He has been arrested and charged.
    3
  103. The Speaker is 2nd in line for the Presidency. The President is not in line.
    3
  104. The question is, were the rules followed or not? If the election was not conducted according to law, then it ought to be done over.
    3
  105. There have been a few homeless camps evicted, but the problem just moves. It's no solution.
    3
  106. I live in Oakland. I would abolish the police commision and return Chief Armstrong to his job. While we’re at it, let’s recall our child mayor.
    3
  107. City offices are nonpartisan.
    3
  108. Time to quit driving, I think.
    3
  109. It was noticeable in Oakland. I would not say “barely” within a radius of several miles.
    3
  110. Democrats have been in San Francisco for a long time. The decline is a fairly recent phenomenon — just the last ten years or so. Just blaming Democrats doesn't get to the crux of the problem. Republicans are ruining a lot of things, also.
    3
  111. This is screwball, in my opinion.
    3
  112. She is a retired judge.
    3
  113. I am not trying to be funny. I grew up on the Oregon Coast. I learned at an early age to respect the ocean. I know of cases in recent years when people were washed off rocks next to the surf. It isn't just so-called "sneaker" waves (we used to call them "rogue" waves), which are rare, but normal variation in the pattern of the waves. When I go to the coast today, I have a tide table and I spend some time watching the surf to understand the local pattern.
    3
  114. Homicidal child vigilantes with machine guns? Don’t be ridiculous. We need more police and more efficient and effective justice. We need better security at places of business and everywhere else.
    3
  115. It is.
    3
  116. If he was a handyman, of course he would have hammers and gloves. What kind of gloves?
    3
  117. A prison camp is a prison. They aren’t for rich people. There are not many rich people in prison. They are for nonviolent offenders who do not require a higher level of security.
    3
  118. It disgusts me that anti-vaccine nuts will exploit her tragic death to promote their cockamamie ideas.
    2
  119. I don’t pay any attention to Yelp. It might be good, or not. But I recently had pizza at Sliver, near the Berkeley BART, and it was wonderful! Vegetarian, though.
    2
  120. The Carabinieri were not on trial here. Their procedures are irrelevant. They were unarmed, Elder was not. He was armed with an illegal weapon.
    2
  121. No, she is reporting on two incidents. I can tell them apart easily.
    2
  122. That doesn’t mean we should ignore them. These were well-armed criminals, which is a major problem in Oakland.
    2
  123. President Biden is not interested in this case.
    2
  124. Republicans, on the other hand, ransack the halls of Congress, the shrine of democracy.
    2
  125. Richmond was the anchor I watched when I came to the Bay Area 30 years ago. Richmond and Corral were a good team.
    2
  126. incompetent
    2
  127. You can't tell if he votes at all by looking at him. Why say such a thing?
    2
  128. Hope so.
    2
  129. For life.
    2
  130. You can’t get police interested without a body.
    2
  131. It’s the correct decision.
    2
  132. I'm over 70. I'm not ready to quit driving. There is no one age that is the time to quit.
    2
  133. I would send her to juvie hall for a couple of years, but I don’t suppose they do that any more.
    2
  134. Chief Armstrong did make a statement on this incident. Why don’t you look it up before making ignorant remarks?
    2
  135. That isn’t actually true, though. They are both pretty bad. It isn’t a competition.
    2
  136. Operator error.
    2
  137. We won't know until the Dept. of Justice announces indictments.
    2
  138. Just stay home until it’s over.
    2
  139. Isn’t an autopsy being done? Wait for the result.
    2
  140. It has gone downhill.
    2
  141. This attorney is probably among the best she could have found. Thao sounds ridiculous pretending that she let him go.
    2
  142. Federal sentences cannot be reduced by that much.
    2
  143. It is pretty obvious that suspension is called for. They would not have left the scene unless they felt they had done something wrong.
    2
  144. Ok by me.
    2
  145. Because they did not know at the time of broadcast.
    2
  146. Be wary of people who follow you.
    2
  147. The Alameda County District Attorney is Nancy O’Malley.
    2
  148. “Democrat”?
    2
  149. No. "Defund the police" is just rhetoric.
    2
  150. The word "progressive" doesn't mean anything anymore. Some politicians call themselves that; other people use it as an insult. What matters is policy on particular issues. "Recall" is a product of the Progressive Movement ca. 1900. On the issue of whether Mayor Thao should be recalled, I am for recall.
    2
  151. Criminals don’t vote. They don’t care which party is in power.
    2
  152. A gate across the approaching lane at a railroad crossing is universally understood by drivers. There are also crossbucks and warning bells. The driver must go into the wrong lane to get around the gate. This was a deliberate attempt to beat the train. The approaching train was a passenger train, meaning that it was short. The driver was trying to save about one minute. I wonder how many minutes this is costing him.
    2
  153. He is not flying as of today. What reason did they have to decertify him?
    2
  154. It makes perfect sense for her to leave the talking about the FBI warrant to her attorney. Anyone would be advised to do that.
    2
  155. Or other heavier-than-air gas, if they were in a low area sheltered from wind.
    2
  156. I live in Oakland. I support this, but I’d sure like to be rid of that mayor.
    2
  157. I think the indictment is good for Oakland. However it turns out, it will discourage others from corrupt practices. No one should think that the deals that have been alleged are normal political practice.
    2
  158. The greatest share of the blame must go to the shooters and their parents.
    2
  159. The Warriors haven't really been lost. They are a regional team. I have wanted the Raiders to be gone for a long time. They are parasites. I used to be an A's fan and would even go to a game now and then. They lost me with the current owners, who are property developers, not baseball people. I'm happy to see them go. We have a new minor league team which we can afford to go see.
    2
  160. He left for good cause. It's crazy that Thao would hold a press conference without running everything past her attorney. He didn't even know she was going to be speaking. Had she just stayed away from the issue for which he was hired to represent her, it wouldn't have been a problem.
    2
  161. These attacks can happen anywhere. The Nordstrom in Walnut Creek was hit. That’s in a swank suburban shopping district.
    2
  162. Things don't happen instantaneously. Even if the press managed to get to her this morning, she would not have any comment.
    2
  163. The reporter did say that it raises money for the Oakland Museum.
    2
  164. A druggy, but they haven’t reported which drug she had.
    2
  165. I’m with the D.A. here.
    2
  166. How is the hydrogen produced? Chevron is working on an electrolysis pkant, but currently produces hydrogen from petroleum.
    2
  167. That will be settled at trial.
    2
  168. She was recalled in the November election.
    2
  169. “Feral” rhymes with “fear.” What we need are more coyotes, I suppose. Or great horned owls.
    2
  170. If he was working as a handyman, I expect he would have had hammers. Having more than two would not be unusual. Only the sword is unusual, but some people have swords just for interest.
    2
  171. A hundred years ago, looters were shot. I don’t expect we will go back to that, but we will see some businesss close down or avoid coming into certain areas, and we will see better security in other areas.
    2
  172. What his previous crime and sentence?
    2
  173. No. He was hired to handle the problem being investigated by the FBI, but she bypassed him to talk about it on her own. That's all it is.
    2
  174. That depends. How did the crash happen?
    2
  175. The story from legitimate news sources, like this one, is consistent.
    1
  176. A single burger is small, but a Double-Double is not. If you think it is too small, get a Triple-Double.
    1
  177. The demonstration is not at City Hall, it is at the Federal Building.
    1
  178. The FBI are not politically motivated. They go where they have reason to believe there are violations of federal law.
    1
  179. What will people do for a boogy-man when Soros is gone?
    1
  180.  @williemo44  — Several people here have suggested the police should have been doing something else. Of course the police work other crimes as well.
    1
  181. They are not useless. They arrested the person who shot the employee, and her getaway driver.
    1
  182. One way they could speed it up is to give me back my TSA Precheck status (and for others similarly situated, I presume). I started getting that status automatically after I turned 65, most of the time. But I haven’t got it for at least the past couple of years. What caused this change?
    1
  183. There is more to every story.
    1
  184. Republicans are fascist. Fascism is not the answer. Before I will vote for any Republican, they will have to purge the fascists from their party. I don’t expect that to happen, though. We need an independent alternative to the major parties.
    1
  185. That was a small truck. Anybody could drive that.
    1
  186. It is not the objective of the FBI to go after your particular bogey men.
    1
  187. UC Berkeley has said they have no record of Momeni.
    1
  188. His job is to announce the arrest. She will be arraigned tomorrow and the District Attorney will announce the charges. Nobody is “protecting the perp.” She will be prosecuted.
    1
  189. Pure chance. Probability. You don’t hear about minor, survivable accidents. You hear about fatalities and you hear bout spectacular cashes, fatal or not.
    1
  190. It would be better to send him back to Canada after his federal sentence is served.
    1
  191. No, she is not. She has been exonerated (along with Sollecito). She is factually innocent.
    1
  192. It’s ok by me.
    1
  193. The Republican President-elect is a convicted felon. This isn't about partisan politics.
    1
  194. right
    1
  195. The protest is not directed at the City of Oakland. It is at the federal building.
    1
  196. Darwin award candidates.
    1
  197. There was no police officer present. Oakland does not have enough police officers to prevent this type of crime. No city does, actually.
    1
  198. Half the crossings in the United States are passively controlled, meaning only by a stop sign and RR cross, as this one was.
    1
  199. We don’t need more candidates for chief of police in Oakland. We need to restore Chief Armstrong to his position, and we need to dump the mayor.
    1
  200.  @Zsunnygarden  — The Chief of any large police department is an administrator.
    1
  201. Strange. I thought only a teen could be so stupid.
    1
  202. There should be more editing out nutty posts, in my opinion.
    1
  203. Too bad he missed.
    1
  204. We have never forced vaccination in the US, but unvaccinated people can be excluded from certaain settings. It’s an important difference.
    1
  205. The mayor will be gone soon, thankfully, but the current police chief is ok. He’s an Oakland native, I think. We have seen a lot worse.
    1
  206. They said "dispensary owner." It isn't rocket science.
    1
  207. It was better before Eisenhower. So?
    1
  208. No. President Biden has nothing to do with it.
    1
  209. You cannot judge the statistics by a few local incidents.
    1
  210. Where the heck is Sierra Point?
    1
  211. nonsense. These cities have been Democratic for a long time. The organized retail theft is a relatively recent problem. I would turn to the party which put a felon in the White House to do anything about crime.
    1
  212. It is up to the transit agency to have security. Newsom has nothing to do with that.
    1
  213. baloney
    1
  214. Every time I read about SW Airlines, it’s bad. I’m glad I can fly Alaska Airlines.
    1
  215. I’ve seen them on trains and in stations. Not many, though.
    1
  216. 1200 Lakeshore apartments should have cameras. Ask them.
    1
  217. Bloomies didn't belong on the west coast anyway, and Nordstrom doesn't belong on the east coast. Times were better when we had regional department stores.
    1
  218. No, it doesn’t. The victim could have had his own gun under local permits. Or, not having one, he could have used better discretion.
    1
  219. “Communists” is so twentieth century, but I agree about the filth. I live in the SF Bay Area. We didn’t vote for filth.
    1
  220. No. Attorney and client must work together. The client must have confidence in her attorney and respect his advice. She went out on her own and spoke on the issue, presumably against his advice, so he chose to leave. He acted appropriately in dropping her.

  221. She isn’t, but she is off the case now anyway.
    1
  222. And it was just talk.
    1
  223. The irony is that nearly half of electric power generated in California comes from gas-fueled plants. Government harasses the little consumers of natural gas because they can, not because they are a significant part of the problem.
    1
  224. "Communism" is so twentieth century. Recall is a progressive idea. We (in Oakland) are trying to recall both our DA and our Mayor.
    1
  225. What do you think that would cost?
    1
  226. Which one?
    1
  227. They did stop him. He was arrested. Did you watch the video?
    1
  228. There are murders everywhere.
    1
  229. Not likely. Her driver could get life on a “three strikes” conviction.
    1
  230. If Republicans hadn’t turned to fascism, they would have better luck attracting Democratic voters. I’ll never vote for another Republican until Republicans abandon Trump and fascism and embrace democracy.

    1
  232. The mayoral election is nonpartisan.

  233. Alaska is highly rated for customer satisfaction. I fly Alaska more than any other airline and have no reason to worry about it. I like Alaska Airlines.
    1
  234. Not many children are killed by coyotes. One child was killed in tthe US in 1981. That’s it. Parents should always stay close to small children.
    1
  235. Good to hear they are prosecuting for this.
    1
  236. Where is the defect? Probably, he didn’t park it properly, then got out.
    1
  237. The law is not based on any established religion, and may not be, under our Constitution.
    1
  238. Nothing wrong with hiring a lawyer, but she should have appeared in person. She would not have had much to say, however. It is wrong to presume guilt. She hasn't even been charged. I'm not defending her generally, though. I was for recall before this.
    1
  239. Yes, we knew that.
    1
  240. He is an adult.
    1
  241. Why are you so sensitive?
    1
  242. Republicans are enemies of the Republic. They are not the answer.
    1
  243. In fact, she is being held without bail at Santa Rita. This is easily verified.
    1
  244. The mayoral election is nonpartisan.
    1
  245. You are just making that up. Why?
    1
  246. You can look it up on the Santa Rita inmate roster.
    1
  247. AirTag uses bluetooth, so does that mean it would only work for a vehicle which had bluetooth?
    1
  248. People who don't know her. She needed ranked-choice voting to get elected.
    1
  249. She didn’t get billions.
    1
  250. In fact, both the Oakland mayor and the council this year wanted the police budget increased, although they disagreed on the amount.
    1
  251. You don’t understand insanity.
    1
  252. She was his defense attorney. It was her job to defend her client, and that is what she was doing Anybody who watches crime news should know that everybody charged with a felony initially pleads “not guilty” regardless of the evidence.
    1
  253. It is bigger than her. It seems that Cal Waste spreads a lot of money around. They are the main player here.
    1
  254. The gun laws are what allow some guns to be confiscated. Your statement is like wondering if drivers know about stop signs and speed limits.
    1
  255. The lean increased a bit while the remediation was underway. When it was completed, the progress of the leaning was arrested and even reduced some. Over time, the degree of tilt should be reduced as the building settles further.

    1
  257. The driver has been arrested.

    1
  259. This remark illustrates the stupidity of Trumplicans.
    1
  260. Keep in mind that the President-elect, nominally a Republican, is a convicted felon.
    1
  261. Not really. Oakland has been largely Democratic for decades, but things have gotten out of control only in the past few years. Former mayor Sheng Thao was part of the Problem, however. She fired the best police chief we have had in many years, and left the office vacant for months. Although nominally a Democrat, she actually represented herself rather than the people of Oakland. Now she is out of office and under federal inductment. We will be electing a new mayor soon.
    1
  262. By the way, don't forget that the Republicans put a felon in the White House.
    1
  263. Some people are, not California. California is a state.
    1
  264. A lot of modern cars do well in crashes.
    1
  265.  @speakinslow2020 — That's it, in a word. Her refusal to reinstate Chief Armstrong after he won in arbitration was an example of that.
    1
  266. California has not applied the death penalty in many years.
    1
  267. That rule makes sense for juvenile crime. For a murder, the rule can be suspended. Wait to see if he is charged as an adult.
    1
  268. No, tempered glass flies everywhere when shattered. Haven’t you ever seen glass in the street from a car break-in?
    1
  269. Not necessarily. "Fast food" is not one particular thing. A Double-Double is not particularly unhealthful, and not much different from a burger I make at home. The unhealthful part of fast food is a soft drink sweetened with sugar, but I never buy those.
    1
  270. As far as I know, she has one property, her home. I don't know when she acquired it.
    1

    1
  272. He is not a Berkeley grad. They have no record of him.
    1
  273. True.
    1
  274. That’s correct. They were overhead, within reach from the jump seat.
    1
  275. I’d rather put our mayor on leave instead of the police chief. Put the police commission on permanent leave as far as I am concerned. I agree that this federal monitor is the problem.
    1
  276. Bacon sold in interstate commerce should only be regulated by federal law.

    1
  280. Are you serious? Take a look at the crossing.

    1
  283. This news item has nothing to do with that.
    1
  284. Not likely.
    1
  285. No, not until there is some resolution one way or the other. The time to name an officer is when there is an actual charge. “Administrative leave” means that the matter is still under investigation.
    1
  286. It gets more comments than the alleged crime. A lot more.
    1
  287. This crime is committed by people of any political persuasion.
    1

    1
  292. Call it what you will, but it isn’t.
    1

    1
  295. You don’t know anything about the drivers of the cars and truck involved in this tragic accident, or how they contributed to it.

    1
  297. They should.
    1
  298. We have a new basebal team already. One with affordable tickets.
    1
  299. Not true. The recall is about something else entirely. I expect the recall to fail because it is just a Republican stunt.
    1
  300. Charge him as an adult.
    1
  301. Nobody. A demonstration like this doesn’t cost anything.
    1
  302. I don't think of her as a liberal.
    1
  303. The police have not been defunded in Oakland. I live in Oakland.
    1
  304. I do not assume that any politician operates with integrity. I hope they do, but I am not optimistic.
    1
  305. “Insane” means not responsible for his crimes. I don’t think so.
    1
  306. Thao and Price both need to go, but the problem of incompetent officials won't be solved until we get rid of ranked-choice voting.
    1
  307. Fascist Trumplicans are not the answer. We need a new, centrist party.
    1
  308. People who criticize Amber Lee for this interview don’t know what real journalism is. Her job is to get him to talk about the case, and she had no trouble doing that. She just kept a low profile and directed the discussion to cover the various aspects of the case. I think a lot of people are just used to tabloid news, in which the interviewers are more active participants in the discussion instead of neutral questioners.
    1
  309. That’s why she has been charged with “felon in possesion of a firearm.”
    1
  310. I live in Oakland. We have our problems, but I’m not leaving because of this. Pedestrians must be situationally aware everywhere. We have no monopoly on careless drivers.
    1
  311. There is’t enough fresh water moving through the system.
    1
  312. He did something which calls for his being fired on the spot. The restaurant handled it prooerly.

    1
  314. Evidence will be presented at trial.
    1
  315. They probably don’t have a photo. They are hoping for a tip from someone who knows who did it.
    1
  316. The woman who was hit yesterday was a bystander.
    1
  317. Not necessarily. They want to steal it in the middle of the night with few people around.
    1
  318. Fascism is not the answer.
    1
  319. Lyme
    1
  320. Life in the Supermax is what he deserves. At least there are state charges to come. If he is convicted and serves the terms consecutively, it might amount to life.
    1
  321. Thao was born a United States citizen.
    1
  322. Not directly, but the fence is clearly not sufficient to keep errant vehicles off the tracks.
    1
  323. I support services for people in need, but the ruling is correct, in my opinion. People in need of a place to sleep do have a choice. They can choose to crash in a place where it is permitted, or at least tolerated.

    1
  325. Would that be reason to murder your children?

  329. No one has been charged yet.
    1
  330. Why put all that junk in your comment?
    1
  331. It isn’t normal yet. Some of these people have been arrested and some have been charged with felonies.
    1
  332. Everybody needs a lawyer when the FBI are interested in what's in your house. If he is a former federal prosecutor, he should be well versed in federal law, which is useful in this case.
    1
  333. Certainly not when she fires the Chief of Police.
    1
  334. Most large cities are Democratic, and have been for a long time. Republicans put a convicted felon in the White House. They do not have a position of moral superiority where crime is concerned. Clean up your own house first.
    1
  335. So?
    1
  336. How would you know? Have you hired him?
    1
  337. no
    1
  338. Where is the Congress in the midst of all these Executive Orders usurping their Constitutional power?
