AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

By Bob Walsh


 
 
OK, it isn't quite that bad, but...

Burger King has (if you can believe the press information) never closed down a store in their 75 year history.  Until now.  They are joining numerous other sit-down and fast food restaurants in getting the fuck out of Dodge, or in this case Oakland.  

Their reasoning is that Oakland is a crime-ridden and gang-infested shit hole and it just isn't safe for their customers or their employees to do business there any more.  

Maybe they should change the name of the city to Wokeland.  Then everybody will love them and all the criminals will instantly become honest, god-fearing and productive members of society.  Or not.

I was born in Oakland.  We lived in the projects there until I was in second grade.  Oakland used to be a pretty solid, respectable blue collar town.  You could get get a job.  You could buy a home.  Starting in the 60s it started to slide and is now so far gone if you are living in Oakland you have to look up to find snake shit.  The schools are a sick, sad joke.  City services are crappy, except maybe the fire department.  It is overrun with dangerous crazy people, druggies and criminals, led by armies of woke dingdongs.  The District Attorney is more interested in protecting criminals than in locking them up.  Half the population is on probation or parole and the other half are illegal aliens.  They ought to just bulldoze the whole place and start over with something useful, like maybe a land fill.
