Police in Democrat-Run Oakland Urge Residents
to Use Airhorns if Targeted by Criminals

Original Article

Police in Democrat-run Oakland, California, are urging residents to use airhorns as a way of sounding an alarm when criminals strike amid a surge in crime. Crime has risen to a point where police are not only advising the purchase of airhorns but also the placement of “security bars to…doors and windows,” CNN noted. Burglaries in the city are up 41 percent “and robberies by more than 20 percent.” Oakland resident Toni Bird indicated that she followed the advice of police and now has three airhorns.

So what's the air horn going to do? Alert the police to show up? Sounds like Oakland is heading for street justice, since the police and courts can't do their jobs.

I believe that semi-automatic assault "air horns" are the best for deterring crime. Especially in those places run by Democrats...you know, where criminals are allowed to run free and law-abiding citizens are advised by "police" to lock themselves up behind bars in their "homes".

I can't help but think that the sound of a .45 acp going off as the criminal entered illegally, wouldn't be a deterent. Of course, it's Kalifornia, so unless your connected, you won't be allowed ownership of a .45!

I remember as a Navy sailor being stationed in the Bay Area and having to live in downtown Oakland. Due to Clinton closing down bases during the 90s that base is no longer there but the time I had was a great experience in a long career. My first living in a big city, hot California summers, walking by Lake Merritt, seeing movies like Malcom X and Career Opportunities in a packed theater, having to take the BART to get to work because of my car breaking down, going to nearby San Franscisco to see the sites and dealing with bums asking to money and sleeping in apartment doorways. It was crazy then and now it's gotten worse under democrat mayors since I was there. My advice to anyone living there now. Get yourself an "airhorn" preferably made by Smith $ Wesson or Remington.

I had a young cat that used to sharpen his claws on the stairs. The vet told me to get an air horn and blow it when he misbehaved. It worked all of once, then it became a game to the little jerk. If an air horn won't even deter a cat, who in their right mind would think it will help deter crime? In case anyone is curious, the cat outgrew his "terrible twos" and became a great pet for the rest of his life.

When I was a kid some bicycles had a little horn you could toot to annoy anyone nearby. Maybe that's what Oaklanders need to try.

8, next time use a water bottle. Very few animals are willing to get blasted with a water spray more than a few times. I left mine on the table the dog was hopping on. Just seeing the bottle was enough to make him stop. Oakland: I've lived there twice over the last 25 years. It was always a dirty ugly crime ridden pit. A friend of mine who lived there for most of the last ten years finally left and moved to the suburbs because he couldn't take how much worse it has become. He had homeless guys basically take over his backyard at night and dump his garbage every week looking for cans.

In many states, police urge residents to use their legally carried handguns "if targeted by criminals". How sad and pathetic to live in a state where this is the 'best option' for self defense. No defense at all, basically.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas took to Twitter to sound off on Friday’s news that the Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to refile tax-related charges against Hunter Biden in a different venue after his plea deal fell apart in Delaware. The DOJ announced Friday that it would voluntarily vacate two tax charges against Hunter Biden without prejudice in order to refile the charges in the Central District of California or in Washington, D.C, rather than in Delaware. Cotton suggested that the DOJ moved to refile the charges against President Joe Biden’s son so that a more sympathetic judge adjudicates the matter and signs off on a lenient deal

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware as Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden contradicts federal regulations requiring that a special counsel be chosen from outside the government. However, it would not be the first time that an Attorney General had ignored those regulations. In 2003, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed as Special Counsel in the Valerie Plame affair. He was appointed by Deputy Attorney General James Comey, who would later depart from procedure and regulations in announcing that Hillary Clinton would not be prosecuted.

Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed. A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. One of the most stalwart truth-tellers was a now little remembered politico and public servant Leo Amery, a polymath and conservative member of Parliament. Yet in two iconic moments of outrage against the Chamberlain government’s temporizing, Amery galvanized Britain and helped end the government’s disastrous policies.

If you decimate this city, you’re going to decimate the foundation of what’s happening.” That foundation finally began to crumble earlier this month as dozens of migrants were left sleeping on the streets of Midtown outside the intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign's coffers to his wife's nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures' worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found. The independent senator's committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle. The senator's wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the Sanders Institute in 2017 to act as a think tank to promote progressive voices, The Washington Post wrote at its launch.
