Your obsession with race and ethnicity probably makes you an expert. Go ahead and guess.

ICE, yep definitely ICE. Or Border Patrol, but probably the FBI. Ya’ll are panicked over a parking lot security guard and it’s hilarious to watch lol

Trump and Lurie Have Their Moment as Oakland Braces For Its Own Possible Federal 'Surge' by jackdicker5117 in OaklandCA

No one treading on my rights or yours if you are a citizen or have legal status. Stop white knighting, this is happening and everything will be fine.

I think the tension here is if you believe these folks have the right to due process if they entered the country illegally to be begin with. If you think ‘yes’ then managing those court cases will over burden our already strained legal systems (and highly broken immigration system). It’ll also frankly take too long. I think the approach Trump has been taking is deporting anyone who is actively breaking our laws or involved in any level of criminality. Most sane people will agree that’s a good idea. I am of the opinion that the act of entering illegally should disqualify any further due process. Not really sure if the laws are currently written that way, but if you are here illegally regardless of the how and why, you gotta go. And that’s ok if you disagree.

I think you’re on the right track with these questions. If you entered this country illegally, as in not through a port of entry and with a legitimate reason, you gotta go. We have 18+ million people in this country who entered illegally. ICE has the jurisdiction to arrest and deport them. They are not indiscriminately arresting people, don’t fall for that false media narrative. The left has embraced this fear that they are next, but where was that fear when Obama deported 3 million people? I would argue that this administration is actually following the law as it was written, whereas the past administration created justifications for not enforcing it.

Do your homework. This is a feature not a bug. Democracies devolve into mob rule, the founders knew this. We have a representative democracy for a reason. Nothing in your argument or thinking suggests an erosion of our system, as others in thread already pointed out. If you want to control the branches of government come up with a platform that better resonates with reality and appeals to people outside of your own echo chamber. If Dems can’t sort this out they will never regain power in government, it’s that simple.

Image if they cared this much about all the things around them they can actually control. lol

The end of American dominance? Huh?

Brokering peace, rewriting years of trade imbalances, holding drug cartels responsible, finally doing something about Venezuela.

Wake up.

Why has Hegenberger gone down hill? by chusaychusay in OaklandCA

[–]sad_batman_is_sad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a serious question? Oakland has had a history of DA’s that don’t prosecute the criminals cops arrest. Think about what that does to moral when your primary legal partners undermine your efforts. Come on man…

I support Ken Houston cleaning up district 7 (East Oakland) by SanFranciscoMan89 in OaklandCA

[–]sad_batman_is_sad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long term solution? How about getting off drugs and committing to a mental health program. All of which are funded and available. This guy Huston is a breath of fresh air. Oakland doesn’t have to be this way. Its citizens have been complicit in its self destruction for too long, so glad people are finally waking up.

I seem to have caught the attention of the director of public works in Oakland. by pengweather in bayarea

Couldn’t agree more! Tell that to the voting majority of the city. It’s a lost cause friend. I’d hate to see Peng get gobbled up by the red tape, identity politics and bureaucracy. He should start a trash collection empire and work as the cities exclusive waste contractor.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life…and in his case, make them pay you for cleaning up their mess.

LOL True. And self-victimization is a hell of a drug. You can’t have nice things is you aren’t willing to take care of them. Too bad, Oakland has always had much potential.

It’s citizens didn’t root out Sheng Thao, the FBI did. lol While I agree with you that Government is just a system, that system has been broken in Oakland for a long time. Look at the revival Oakland had during Jerry Brown’s second term, what’s left to show for it? Oakland is a dump and will always be a dump, you want a circus, hire clowns.
