Anyone who murders someone, when it is not in self-defense, is insane. Therefore, if you accept the premise that some murderers shouldn’t be prosecuted because of insanity, then we might as well invalidate all the murder laws and just send all the murderers to psychiatric hospitals, where they’ll get red-carpet treatment (at the taxpayers’ expense) and eventually be released back into society when some quack psychiatrist deems them “rehabilitated.”

It’s been a quiet Spring in Oakland. The trees and flowers blossomed early this year, sharing hue and fragrance with the warm air. The recent rains have been beneficial. Crime is down all over the city (as it is in all other U.S. cities), a reprieve we do not fully understand but can be grateful for.

The girl just can’t help it. She’s so filled with hatred for White people, she plays the race card like a floozy working the floor of a Vegas strip joint. Tell her that a Black man did something wrong, and her reaction is swift, predictable and disgusting: “You’re a racist!”

There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, and Oakland is running through them so fast for new tax and bond measures, it has had to double up the letters, so that we get things like measures AA, MM, KK and so on. At this rate, Carroll Fife is already contemplating Measure NNN, which will raise parcel taxes to pay for renaming everything after George Floyd.

No wonder average people have tuned out of the politics around the homelessness. As a topic, it’s boring. The vocabulary alone requires a Ph.D in homeless-ology, with each term hauling complications and implications that the public can barely fathom—and shouldn’t be expected to.
