    Six Shot, One Killed Near Juneteenth Celebration in Oakland

    Six people were shot, one of whom died, on Saturday evening near a Juneteenth celebration at Oakland’s Lake Merritt.

    The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

    Oakland police received reports of shots fired in the 2200 block of Lakeshore Avenue at 6:22 p.m. Saturday, police said, just as roughly 1,000 people were celebrating around the lake.

    The gunfire victims were five males aged 16 to 27, and one 21-year-old woman, police said.



    The shooting sent hundreds of people running away from the scene. By 7:30 p.m., police had largely locked down the scene with police tape and the commotion had subsided.

    Mayor Libby Schaaf condemned the shooting, saying that the “joyous occasion at our Lake Merritt was marred by a senseless act of gun violence.” Large crowds had spent the day in the area celebrating the first federally designated Juneteenth holiday.

    Crime has skyrocketed in Oakland, as in other major cities, since the unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota — and the “defund the police” movement that has seen many police forces under new pressure.

    “Through May 23,” the Chronicle reported on May 31, “the city had recorded 51 homicides for the year, a 132% increase compared with the same period last year and a 70% increase compared with 2019. San Francisco, across the Bay, will consider a proposal this week to cut police funds and use the money to pay for “community-led” homeless responses.

    Fixed that for them...

    Crime has skyrocketed in California, due to eliminating punishment for many crimes, and releasing and refusing to prosecute massive numbers of criminals and criminal mental patients.

    The way the media reports these incidents is always interesting. Will they mention “hate crime” or “anti-xyz”? Will they use the term “mass shooting”? Will they use the term “gunman” or “gunmen”? Will they use the term “assault weapon”?

    The concept of "crime" was created by white supremacists to oppress people of color
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    No they will not.

    And that is why I am posting these stories: to directly confront the lie that "most mass shooters are angry white men with assault rifles."

    The majority of mass shootings, using the system's own definition of "mass shooting", are carried out by colored men with handguns.

    Not too far off the mark.

    White supremacy is what causes blacks to commit crimes.

    Yeah. Just what we need is another holiday. How many black people were killed during MLK weekend shootouts this year?
