White Supremacists Rob Jewelry Store Near My House

I live in a relatively benign neighborhood. It is a bedroom community East of Berkeley CA. We sometimes have bicycles stolen, but overall, the crime rate here is low. Earlier this week, White Supramacists (or so I assume) robbed a jewelry store directly adjacent to the College where I teach. This scares me a bit. My drug dealer, Raj, said that there were about 20 cars coming from Oakland CA with their license plates removed. Nobody stopped them. A couple of them were arrested. We'll see what happens. Does violent crime occur where you live?

I'd swear one of those guys looked a little like you, if I didn't know you were home with Kitty when that happened.

I was not involved. I am not a fan of jewelry. But I may get my left ear pierced some day.

@TheHorse I have some piercings but my ears aren't pierced. I used to wear a gold necklace and am always wearing a watch but that's it. I'm sure Kitty will be willing to testify if asked, as to your whereabouts last night?

@DaddyEvil For some reason, I prefer silver to gold. But I am wearing no jewelry right now.

I have lived in this locality for the last 17 odd years. The only major crimes I can recall are ... our car's mirror was broken by a cow...and we are not allowed to sue cows in our country. And one cell phone was stolen. And my neighbor's dress was stolen too.

@vandana7 There were other crimes committed there but the same things that are reported as crimes here are legal there...

@TheHorse I am sure that there is something in the biggest cities, not so much.

@LadyDuck I wonder how the biggest Swiss cities compare to the biggest American cities.

I watched the video and it's not clear what race the criminals are. Why would you assume they're white supremacists?

Just a guess, really. But I think I was wrong.

I heard on the news today that violent crimes are down but lesser crimes are up. People from Oakland must have a lot of cars stolen.

No. We're out in a semi-rural/suburban area. There is violent crime in a city about 10 miles away.

@LindaOHio Glad you have enough police in your area. A lack of police is one of the problems in the Bay Area.

@TheHorse Me too. We have an alarm system which helps...and now there are more police in our area too.

You know that is a good question, I do not go anywhere lately and when I do I go only around the places I know, My friends do tell me there are really bad areas in Daytona Beach but I do not know of or about them and I am glad I live in a quiet area, Actually I got curious and looked online and now I might never leave my house again because I did not know this With a crime rate of 53 per one thousand residents, Daytona Beach has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 19.

That sounds pretty high. I do go out often, but I've started locking my front door.

It's amazing that they can get away with this sh*t. The cops' hands are tied...dare I say...cuffed. Can you understand why I'm waxing Conservative in my old age?

What stood out for me here was the label "white supramacists". Times change I guess. If it was Bonnie and Clyde they would be a member of a "gang" or Al Capone a "gangster". What are they today? Hoodies with a shopping cart or modern day bandits possibly. Sorry I didn't watch the video. Hopefully they will catch them. In any time a life of crime is no life at all.

I watched the video again and realized some of tght not be White Supremacists. Sometimes I feel lie everything I know is wrong.

Why are you assuming something that might not be true? I’m not trying to be rude, but so many people are way too quick to blame so-called white supremacy on everything that happens these days.
