And one wonders why she was in Oakland, in Jack London Square, all by herself...no companion. Heck, when I was in my 20s and was in the area, I got nowhere near Oakland which was Murder City.

If the phone is valued at less than $950 then there is nothing that can be done to the perp in the socialist state of Kalifornia.

Afterwards, did she call the police or a social worker? Is there anything on her phone for which she can be blackmailed?

FTA: he came behind me, pushed me hard, and then before I could fall it was like he grabbed my phone in front, so it's just hard to put all together.' She was pushed hard in the back, “and then before I could fall it was like he grabbed my phone in front.” How is that possible? If I read this right, she did not fall. Apparently Boxer was alone. The article said nothing about witnesses. And, “ police are working to collect surveillance footage.” I think this story is a big lie.

You think maybe the phone was misplaced with information that could be incriminating so do a fake crime making up the attack to CHA. Why was she in Oakland alone it doesn't make sense to me. If it did take place it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. You own this Babs.

Something isn't right in this article and this whole robbery??? Cell phones are worthless once they are turned off by the provider they can't be turned on again by any other provider. and like other posters said how could he push her in the back and grab the cell phone ion the front? Also she was all alone? I doubt that.

Criminals don't reason through their motive, but they sometimes reason through risk assessment (when they are not high). They have determined that the risk of punishment is very very low in liberal areas where the police are standing down. "Law and order" seldom works when that risk of punishment is removed.

Isn't it Oakland which has almost totally defunded the police? What's suspicious is that she only got pushed (apparently she didn't fall) and only stole her phone. What about the purse and jewelry. Color me suspicious that she wasn't robbed and really, really hurt.

As vile and disgusting a creature that Senator Boxer is, I sure don't like seeing 80-year old women (or anyone) mugged and pushed to the ground. Often, in elderly women, such activity results in broken bones and joints, including the hip. Medical studies show that a broken hip in elderly women is a significant risk factor leading to immobility and premature death. Knocking down an old lady, even Senator-who-worked-hard-to-get-that-title-and-cashed-in-on-it-as-well Boxer, should be an attempted mirder charge.

Earlier this year, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pam Karlan attempted to intimidate the people running the Maricopa County audit in Arizona.The DOJ complaint reads like a swampy fever dream, full of conspiracies and plots to block access to the ballot box.Remember, the Georgia law merely requires mail-in ballots to have what in-person voters have: proof the person casting the ballot is who they say they are.

The new proposed rule, which the administration will seek comment on for the next two months before publishing an official rule change, would immediately increase the domestic component threshold to 60% and gradually increase the threshold to 75% over the next decade.

Perhaps it’s because I grew up surrounded by extraordinarily tough people, but I found myself singularly unmoved by the spectacle in the House on Tuesday, which reminded me of a bad mash-up of Dr. Phil, Oprah, and BLM-produced soap opera, rather than a legitimate inquiry into an event that Democrats have seized upon to consolidate their power by destroying their opposition. As sobbing congressmen and Capitol Police officers took turns talking about their psychic injuries, I was alternately embarrassed for them if they were really that weak, and frightened of them if they were that sociopathic as a pathway to power.

Simone Biles, the main reason anyone wants to watch the Olympics, given her thrilling artistic gymnastics, has pulled out of the U.S. team events, and since then, even the individual all-around event, citing her mental health (snip) Certain people on the right, who shall be nameless, criticized her as a "quitter." Others said she was too self-focused, and still others said she was a wokester or snowflake. But that's not fair to her, given that she wanted to win. Her decision was practical and quite selfless in that in pulling out she gave the rest of her team the placement to win the silver

When it comes to political and social demonstrations during the Tokyo Olympics, 2021 is the year of women. Female athletes have attracted the spotlight on the international stage by championing racial equality and taking ownership of what they wear during competitions. "Historically, we've seen the role of patriarchy sort of supersede ... the voices, lived experiences of girls and women on the Olympic stage," said Akilah Carter-Francique, executive director of the Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change at San Jose State University. "What we're seeing now is an acknowledgment of their value in their perspective on many

My TV has been broken for over a year (OK, maybe I don’t know how to work the remote) but I watched a little of the Olympics at a friend’s house this week. I learned something from the advertisements. I learned that most people in this country are black, and all of the good ones are. Blacks, who comprise about 13% of the U.S. population, comprise most of the actors in the advertisements. Aliens in faraway worlds receiving television signals from earth are apt to conclude that the most powerful culture on Earth is run by good black people.

Greta Thunberg said she is 'extremely grateful and privileged' to receive her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination—and blasted the distribution of the jab worldwide as 'extremely unequal'. The Swedish climate activist, 18, tweeted a photograph of herself wearing a fox-print face covering with a plaster on her upper arm, using the hashtags '#VaccineEquity' and '#VaccineForAll'.(Snip) But she went on: 'The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal.
