Citing Crime, In-N-Out announces closure of Oakland location

[Lurker Deluxe]

21. That is great, happy for whomever.

I see, with my own eyes, what is happening.

In order of things way to close to home:

Two shootings in the parking lot of a local bar, one red light east. Last year. '

My truck was stolen, from a gated community, September.

My credit union was robbed, at gun point, December.

Maybe the stats do not show that. I do not give a fuck, this is where I live.

I will not go to the Shell at the corner of 1960/Wunderlich, due to several people being robbed in the parking lot while getting gas. Vagrants hanging out panhandling in that very place, walking up to people while pumping gas.

I know my neighbors, they know me. You can site all the stats you want to cite ... good for you.

I see it, it effects me. I will be moving in the next couple of years. I am not alone.

I see the armed security in the Randell's parking lot where there used to be none. I see the small business closing and no one else moving in. I drive past strip centers which are vacant and vandalized, all the windows broken out and grafted. They are there.

Cite some more stats, I am sure this is all just an illusion because ... I dunno, seems fun.
