WOW! If that isn't a welcome mat for the BGs I don't know what is.
"Go ahead and steal, we won't bother you!"

Oh good grief....why not just put up a big flashing neon sign saying 'Crooks Welcome' ?

There, fixed it for you . . .

It would be nice if that door would swing both ways: As in, if I catch you stealing and assault you into unconsciousness you cannot file suit.

Hey, I really like the sound of that. :)
Sound less barbaric than 'stomping their guts out' I reckon.

Looks like they need a "must carry law".
-
+1 on that.

This is just an example of more fiscal silliness seen nationwide. If you, as a local government entity, are unable to fund the simplest of services, you might need to disband the city/borough/town/etc. and start again a point one.
I know if I am making less this year I need to spend less this year. It's a simple, but overlooked concept, especially in government type circles.

You notice the supervisor's response...it went something like "he wasn't supposed to say anything and what he said was more than what we cut". It's the DA's strategy to cause the public to raise an outcry against the supervisors to look elsewhere to cut. They'll probably raise taxes now. I wonder if there is a tax initiative on an upcoming ballot?
You now what'll happen. Some storeowner will defend himslf and get arrested for it. And sued by the "victim".

Thats a hell of a plea bargin. What do you get for a felony? Told to stand in the corner?

Part of the "Bay Area", Legal carry is not an option unless you have money or "Know" someone.

Oh good grief....why not just put up a big flashing neon sign saying 'Crooks Welcome' "We give up!!!" VICTIMS HERE!!!?
There, I fixed it for YOU!! ;D

That reminds me of a line from the old "Notch Johnson" TV series: "Attempted murder is a FELONY in California!! You'll do MONTHS for this!!!"
-
Absolutely criminal!! >:(
-
San Jose Civil servants salaries - this likely the same in Contra Costa

Liberal Solution?
Raise TAXES, that way more people that can, will literally evacuate the town and leave it just like Detroit.
I heard there are some really good deals downtown......

And speaking of Detroit, I read yesterday that it tops the list again for 'most violent city' in the US again.

Detroit is over 80% black. I wonder if that has anything to do with all the violence and crime? I don't know of any black cities that don't have a lot of crime.

Call us racists if you will but I don't know of a truly stable black country either,at least not out side the Caribbean.

What about that one country, you know, the one with all the genocide..... Or that one with the pirates.... And the idea that its enough to be stable, but not prosperous? Those Caribbean countries are setting the bar pretty low. "Yeah we don't get alot done, but hey, at least we ain't all killing each other."

I was thinking of Jamaica, Bermuda and the Bahamas, they are just as corrupt as Mexico, just a little lower profile, In the 80's Coke smugglers (Carlos Lehder) owned them all. Then you have the poster child for "Post colonial" "Majority Rule" Zimbabwe.
Yes people might call me a racist for observing historic trends, then they can kiss my a$$.
You know what ? Since I already pi$$ed off the PC peckerheads I'm going to address a dark truth of Americans politics. Not many others have the guts or "lack of sensitivity" to bluntly say that Americas cities are shit holes because blacks and Hispanics who can't control themselves have been elevated by "white flight" to positions of political authority that they are generally not capable of exercising in a sensible and honest manner.
There are always exceptions ,like Alan Keyes, but in general, Americas black politicians are a bunch of racist bastards on the prowl for easy cash by catering to the lazy welfare leeches, and drug dealers who are the only ones left in the inner cities . Most any one who was worth a sh!t as a citizen, regardless of race, got out decades ago.
The only "races" with a history of "administration" are Western European, Chinese, Japanese and Jews. The rest of them have engaged in total corruption and butchery for the last 3000 years and will continue it for the next 3000. It's why the UN will never work.
