One of the questions to emerge out of last night’s unrest in Oakland, where crowds protesting the George Zimmerman verdict turned violent and seized control of a major street for three hours, is why police withdrew from the area and allowed drivers to be terrorized.

According to a report by ABC 7, protesters had “complete control” of 14th and Broadway near Oakland City Hall and refused to let vehicles pass.

At about 8:30 p.m., police opened the intersection to traffic. But it quickly deteriorated when demonstrators surrounded frightened drivers who found themselves trapped. The crowd forced them to turn around.

Oakland police officers that had been near the corner retreated, leaving the helpless drivers without police protection. It’s unclear who gave that command.

It doesn’t matter who gave that command; police being ordered to do nothing against protesters is a time-honored tradition in the Bay Area, starting with former Mayor Diane Feinstein and her edict to let rioting homosexuals trash cop cars and buildings in 1979.  That’s the price you pay for living in the Bay Area and allowing yourself to be governed by Surrender Monkeys.  You want it, you bought it, you like it, go ahead and live it.

Let me be frank for a moment: there are perhaps two things worth saving in Oakland: Quinn’s Lighthouse Restaurant on the Embarcadero, and Jack London Square.  I couldn’t care less about anything else in that squalid town.  Let it burn.
