California NAACP wants emergency declared over Oakland's crime

Heh.

'Our community members are in danger and elected officials are turning their heads away. Crime is at an all time high in Oakland and we are calling the mayor to step up and work with the Oakland branch on this critical issue and call for a state of emergency,' said Rick L. Callender, NAACP regional president. 'We cannot sit around and do nothing when people are in danger doing daily activities, trying to survive.'

And yet, the NAACP will end up endorsing the same exact type of elected democrat that put their city in the predicament that it's in today.

That's the story up and down the west coast, by the way - dizzy voters put in incompetent politicians who make their lives worse. They complain about things, hold rallies...and then vote in the same exact types of loser. Then start the cycle over and over again.

Let's check in on Seattle. Now we have IED's! It's like Iraq:

SEATTLE ' New details have emerged from a large explosion in Seattle near Harborview Medical Center (HMC) last week at a homeless encampment.

According to a police report, Seattle police and fire officials responded to the scene west of the Harborview Medical Center next to Interstate 5 just before 5:30 a.m. on July 21. Officers observed people fleeing from an encampment yelling that there were bombs going off and live ammunition that could explode.

Police were clearing the encampments before secondary explosions and gunfire sounds led them to seal off the perimeter of the encampment to avoid any further injuries. Witnesses later relayed the events that led up to the explosion, including a feud between rival drug suppliers and a designated tent where people exchange money for drugs.

The witness told police that minutes before the explosion, someone saw improvised explosive devices outside the encampment and yelled for everyone inside to flee.

Harborview is IIRC the only Level 1 trauma center in the entire Pacific Northwest, so it's important we don't blow it up. Of course, since this happened on their property at least the blown-up homeless guys had a quick trip to the ER.

City council primary elections are underway up here. There are actually decent candidates on the ballot but keep an eye on how this moron does:

He has one of the worst records of any elected official anywhere in the country. If he makes it past the primary it'll validate how dumb Seattle voters are.
