BLACK CRIME IN DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED SANCTUARY CITY OF OAKLAND - Denny’s joins In-N-Out Burger abandoning sole its sole Oakland store due to crime

OAKLAND IS A BLACK CRIME WAR ZONE! S.F. ACROSS THE BAY IS WORKING HARD TO BEAT THEM AT THEIR CRIMES!

Denny’s joins In-N-Out Burger abandoning sole its sole Oakland store due to crime

Oakland, California, is ceding control of its local commerce to criminals, due to a Soros-backed prosecutor and chronic short staffing at the Oakland PD, which cannot recruit enough new cops to replace retirements and resignations -- despite six-figure starting salaries. There's more going on than that, though. The departure of two prominent restaurant chains from the city reveals a horrifying pattern that the national media entirely miss.

First, In-N-Out Burger announced that it was closing its only Oakland store, despite it being profitable.  The company’s CEO issued a statement:

Despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies. Our last day of business in Oakland will be March 24, 2024.

We are grateful for the local community, which has supported us for over 18 years, and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts our Associates and their families. Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment.

Yesterday, Denny’s closed its sole Oakland diner:

…the safety and well-being of Denny’s team members and valued guests is our top priority,” the restaurant stated. “Weighing those factors, the decision has been made to close this location.”

On their face, these announcements reveal deep problems in the Democrat-run city. But there is a special factor in the closure of both restaurants that the national media entirely miss. It is the same reason that I have eaten at both outlets in the past: both are located on the main approach road to Oakland International Airport. This means that lots of drivers of rental cars stop for a quick bite before or after domestic flights that, these days, very rarely provide any food to coach passengers. After the renters park and go inside, the gangs of thieves, who realize that expensive items like laptop computers can be found in the luggage locked in the trunk, strike within minutes.  So, they target such rental car returns, which are pretty easy to spot since they are late-model cars and usually have stickers identifying the fleet that they belong to.

 I actually heard about this a couple of years ago when I was warned to stay away from the In-N-Out Burger store very close to SFO Airport, in Millbrae, California. The same logic of robbing rental car drivers operates, and the person who warned me mentioned that, on average, it took at most a few minutes for targeted cars to be hit.

So, I am standing by and waiting to see if the Millbrae In-N-Out Burger store joins Oakland in being closed. It may be that the Millbrae police are more effective than Oakland’s Finest, and perhaps they stake out the parking lot regularly, something the understaffed OPD is unlikely to match.

Either way, we see that criminals are being allowed to take control of city neighborhoods, much as the cartels of Mexico are the de facto government of parts of that nation. It can only be understood as the breakdown of civilization.


The View accuses black voters turning their backs on the Democrats of being ‘grifters’ in a ‘downward spiral’

As Joe Biden angrily screeched: “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black!” Independent thinking is not allowed, just servitude.

Black Americans are not permitted to leave the Democrat reservation, but when they disobey there’s hell to pay, and bigoted mudslinging attacks ensue—they’re denigrated with the “Uncle Tom” or “race traitor” moniker, and now, according to Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, black Americans leaving the left are in a “downward spiral” and guilty of grifting. See here, from a NewsBusters report yesterday:

The View Previews Black History Month: ‘Downward Spiral of Black Republicans’

In anticipation of the start of Black History Month on Wednesday, ABC’s The View decried “the downward spiral of black Republicans” and smeared ALL of them as “grifters” that would betray America and their race for “power.”

They spoke with race baiter and author Clay Cane about his new anti-black Republican book: “The Grift: The Downward Spiral of Black Republicans from the Party of Lincoln to the Cult of Trump.”

Teeing up her guest, Goldberg agreed that ‘grifters’ was ‘the right word for them.’ Cane, a liberal extremist, said he was ‘so saddened at the direction’ black Republicans were going.

Behar and Cane then attacked [Tim] Scott’s recent engagement to a white woman. They mocked how their names rhymed and suggested he only decided to marry her because it was good optics for a shot at being vice president[.]

Would they have attacked Tim Scott if he were a white man? No, of course not; they’re attacking him specifically because of the color of his skin. Call me crazy, but that’s pretty bigoted.

So by Behar and Goldberg’s standard…

Blacks who support school choice because they don’t want their children locked in failing schools so bad teachers can have job security, are in a downward spiral.

Blacks who don’t want illegals flooding  into the country because the former is disproportionately affected, are in a downward spiral.

Blacks who support more police because they too value safe cities and neighborhoods, are in a downward spiral.

Blacks who want lower taxes and less regulation because they’re entrepreneurs and want to achieve the American dream, are in a downward spiral.

Blacks who don’t support abortion because they detest the anti-black eugenics ideology underpinning the agenda, are in a downward spiral.

The entire premise of Black History Month is offensive, because it presupposes that black Americans are an “other” and relegates them to a place outside the rest of the citizenry; American history is black history, and black history is American history. Dedicating a separate month to celebrate “black history” as if these stories somehow don’t have a place in the mainstream American historical record is manufacturing an unnecessary divide; yet they pretend President Trump is the racist causing disunion.
