Oakland has one of the worst reputations in the country when it comes to violence. That’s pretty much all Oakland is known for. True we held the record for most homicides several times. In 2002 Oakland had 113 homicides, in 2003 there were 114 and just last year there were 88 (see stats). This year well it’s been lower than most. It’s considered one of the poorest cities with about 40 percent of the population living on some form of government aid. This could be called a city of crime and poverty, there are nice area’s in Oakland, the median price is around $550,000 to $600,000 – if you pay any lower than that you might just be in the “high crime” areas – something I don’t know much about (born and raised on the “nice” side), but the biggest thugs are located right there in city hall.
There are numerous cases and as time goes on I’ll address them, but this one caught my eye in Fridays paper; “Brooks seems a law unto herself”, what a coincidence the city council member that represents the worst part of this city – East Oakland. Desley Brooks, who’s know to “Keep it Real” crossed the line this time as she has done time and time again with no repercussions. She has intimidated those who get in her way and none of her thug counterparts have challenged her. The article shows just a glimpse into their thug mentality.
Well, let's hope that our Ms Brooks gets the spanking she so deserves in the next election.
That mouth on her needs to be put out to pasture.
Additionally, they need to stick her for the bucks she gave (gave seems to be the correct word here) to her boyfriend's daughter for hanging out in Oakland and pretending to work. Shameless tart.
Cheers
