- Alameda Co. DA Pamela Price tackles crime in Oakland at community forumabc7news.com Alameda Co. DA Pamela Price tackles crime in Oakland at community forum
Rising crime and how to deal with it was one of the big topics. D.A. Price spent time explaining how her office is responding and the reforms that she was elected to implement.
> Price responded by saying that enhancements don't deter crime and are racially biased. > > "And number three, because they require longer sentences, they force us to invest in prisons," Price said. "Enhancements have been at the heart of incarceration. It is absolutely essential that we stop using them." > > When asked if he was satisfied with what he heard at the community forum, Oakland resident Julian Heard responded: "No, I wasn't!" > > "If you are dealing with a person, (who) they deal with fear and intimidation, you can't meet them with compassion. You have to deal with them with fear and retaliation," he said.
Fuck this guy. ^^ Sounds like a real asshole.
I live in Oakland. I worry about crime and see the videos of assaults and snatch-and-grabs. I absolutely don't want retaliation to be the primary motivation for crime reduction. I want education and opportunities (the article goes on to mention both). Tell this asshole to move somewhere else.

Heads up,
I've noticed another Bay Area community has been created and already has a larger subscription count.
In an effort to support active discussions, I'd suggest migrating over there.
I'll leave this open for the time being.
- Westfield Century 9 Theatre closingabc7news.com Cinemark theater closing at SF Westfield after mall's management transfer, company confirms
Cinemark says that it is closing the theater "following a comprehensive review of local business conditions." Their website confirms there are no movie showings scheduled for Friday or beyond.
Pretty sad about this, this has been my go-to theatre for years for anything that I don't plan on seeing in IMAX. They had super comfy seats and the staff there was always really friendly. Plus the BART access was right through the Westfield, with the parking structure across the street so even if it was really rainy it wasn't an issue.
