That's nothing compared to what Senator Boxer and her ilk have done to America. Enjoy what you created Babs.

Wrong premise. Why would you do this to a guilt ridden, wealthy, white, liberal, woke, progressive democrat? I'm on your side dumb ass.

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.

They did it to you because they have been taught you are a racist oppressor who owes them reparations. They will get it from you by force if you don't give it to them voluntarily.

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

Not to worry. the value was under $900, so its just a misdemeanor. Ditto for the shoving.

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.

Ya know as I’m reading about this and sifting through all the great comments here, I’m beginning to smell a rat and poster #16 articulates my suspicions perfectly.
Methinks there’s a little more here than meets the eye.

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.

A social worker would have stopped that attack. I guess her cell phone was under the $950 limit for shoplifting as well.

Reality finally hit her. This what the rest of us had to put up with for years. Hopefully, she will contact her idiot party members and let them know what they are doing to this country. Or maybe not.

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.

At first I didn't understand why posters here are suspicious of the theft of the phone but now I understand. Having it stolen in a random attack is better than smashing it with a hammer. Right?

Actually, No. 21, she scolded the Air Force general for saying yes "Maa'm" or no "Maa'm" in answers to her questions. She instructed him to call her "SENATOR" because she had "worked so hard" for that title. But point well taken, how rude of the thief to attack Her Exalted Highness Senator".

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.

Sham attack. Cell phone was taken for another reason. Also she should have been hurt badly, just because.

This is why, when we were writing our CCW training and testing regulations, I made a great effort to ensure that our concealed carry licensing requirements weren't so restrictive that older people couldn't qualify. Older people are generally seen as easier targets of criminals.
But, she did everything she could, her whole nasty career, to disarm people, so I grin when I see this.

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.

Gee, Barbara, that sounds like your "white privilege" talking. That poor young black person was just trying to equalize the playing field. Isn't that what lie-berals always try to tell us? How dare you fight back. You are just a big old racist now, aren't you?!?!?!? /sarcasm off
That evil vermin that attacked her saw her as an easy victim. And you can't blame them. Between politicians like Ovomit and AOC, racist thug groups like BLM, and the preaching of the evil Demon-Rat Party, he has been raised from birth to believe all white people are evil and deserve whatever violence can be thrown at them!!!

Other people have come out of such attacks much worse off - knocked out cold, concussions, blurred vision, knocked out teeth, broken bones. She was lucky all she lost was a cell phone.

Many people here are wondering why she was in Oakland. According to another account that I read, last night, she has a condo in the area. I can't imagine why anyone would have a condo in Oakland if they didn't have to. Of course this is all about virtue signaling.
