‘Defund the police,’ they yelled when George Floyd was murdered. And now, here we are, left in the blowback.
I am no longer surprised that people drive 80 mph down 98th Avenue. Nor am I surprised by the reckless lunatics doing repeated donuts at 106th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard at 9 a.m. In East Oakland, and more and more all over the city, lawless driving can happen any time, any day, and has become so normal that we are numb to it.
In June, a pedestrian was killed and three others were injured on International Boulevard and 54th Avenue when a driver — who had just left a sideshow — Here, lawlessness has not confined itself to driving. Don’t leave your car unattended in downtown Oakland or near Jack London Square or on Telegraph Avenue or in Jingletown — heck, be cautious anywhere you park in Oakland. You might just return to a broken rear window even if you leave nothing visible on the seat of your car. Nefarious passers-by will break your rear quarter panel window and flip down your backseat just to look and see what’s in the trunk.
