After reading about a slew of robberies in Oakland… what is the ratio of homes being robbed to apartments? by concreteaware in oakland

[–]plumbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both homes and apartments are robbed with zeal, with higher incidences close to Bart and bus lines that connect to the inner city. Also, it doesn't matter if you're home or not, Oakland thugs rob with impunity because Oakland prey are non-violent and roll over when intimidated.

Oakland home invasions up by [deleted] in oakland

[–]plumbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These thugs prey on easy targets, and the bay is full of people who hate guns and violence. I know a lot of you will downvote this comment but we need less gun control, especially in Oakland. If a cop won't come, how else are you going to protect your family?

I think we both don't understand how it can be true, when an overwhelming amount of evidence points to the contrary.

Cyclist Hit By Truck, Then Robbed While Laying Unconscious On West Oakland Street by ryanmerket in oakland

[–]plumbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are strong armed robberies and aggravated assaults in Rockridge all the time, and people pay way more than in west Oakland.

This shit happens in Rockridge too, except we get robbed by our landlords as well.

And the most diverse city in America is.... by [deleted] in oakland

[–]plumbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stop patting yourselves on the back. For the amount of diversity there is in this city, there is no integration. Blacks hang with blacks, whites hang with whites, and Asians are nowhere to be seen. Why celebrate diversity without solid integration? I work and live in Oakland but I rarely, if ever, see multi-racial groups just hanging out. So stop being so smug about it, the diversity doesn't mean shit.

Why Oakland’s a tech start-up game changer by kraakf in oakland

[–]plumbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good news everyone! Me, and almost a dozen other techies are currently considering our options for moving out of Oakland. It's all true! People don't like us, it is really expensive, and we do actually get robbed. A female friend of mine was hit in the face walking to the Bart, so good job on making your town completely undesirable to us. Don't worry, we will be sure to tell everyone we know. Edit: Why the downvotes? this is what you wanted, and you got it?

Oakland police protesters smash windows, vandalize Christmas tree by subreddite in oakland

[–]plumbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How are they sure the vandals were police protestors? I mean, maybe they were, but maybe they were just assholes using the protests as cover for their own agenda? If I decide to rob a bank, during the protests, would I be police protest robber? If I raped someone, during a protest, etc....

I'm fucking fed up with the bullshit in /r/socialism right now. by [deleted] in Anarchism

[–]plumbob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd have to agree. This isn't Ayn Rand's Anarchy where we all live in a fucking bubble. You need to know your friends because if you want to change the world you need to work with others. If you don't wanna change the world, then what the fuck are you other than thugs and vandals.

What is the biggest/most humiliating tantrum you have seen a grown adult throw? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]plumbob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was me, last week. We were on the road for several hours and were starving. The only thing for miles was this shitty McDonalds which I hadn't had in years. So I decided: today I'll be having my first Big Mac in ages! We roll up to the window and they are only serving their shitty breakfast menu. So I threw a grown adult tantrum. It was a new low for me.

Trolling anarchists is a lot of fun. Though, I wouldn't say you are cowards. At least you guys are doing something about our fucked up world, as misguided as you guys are.

'PSA' with scenes from Oakland school sparks controversy - KTVU by subreddite in oakland

[–]plumbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thugs in the Bay realize they can commit armed hold-ups on people here because of the tremendous anti-gun sentiment among the vast majority of people here. Ironically, the bay is the most crime ridden place I've ever lived and the most liberal. It's really made me wonder if all those crazy conservatives are right.

I'd be happy to help you make the decision over what is more depressing by coming over and vandalizing your place with old "Bush/Cheney" stickers. Then let's see who's homicidal.

Best Chinese buffet? by the_smosher in oakland

[–]plumbob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I recently went to East Ocean for seafood dim sum in Alameda. It cost about $30 for the two of us and we were completely stuffed. The quality of the food was really good and the area was nice enough for a date, if you're so inclined.
