It’s no amazing revelation that Oakland, Fornicalia is jam-gepacked with black gangs.
It’s no amazing revelation that Oakland, Fornicalia has a huge murder and crime rate.
Yet, despite that, its Leftist and stultifyingly-ignorant mayor, Jean Quan — completely lacking any grasp of reality or situational awareness — thought it was a good idea to “encourage(d) residents to sign up for a weekend workshop on how to pick locks via her newsletter.”
Yes yes yes, I can hear your gut-busting laughter from here. Because we — you and I — have an actual concept of how the world truly works.
However, the workshop advertisement actually said:
Have you always wanted to know how to pick a lock? In many cases, opening a lock without a key is easier than you think!
Join us in this workshop as we introduce the art and technique of lockpicking, explaining the function of pin tumbler locks, wafer locks, padlocks, and many others. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a solid understanding of how lock systems work and you’ll know what steps to take should you ever find yourself standing keyless outside the door to your own home!
One nice comment noted:
As I frequently say: “you can’t write shit like this.” Because you simply can’t. You can’t possibly forecast the incredibly ignorant and excessively-stupid crap that occurs like this at the behest of GOWPs and, in this case, some kind of simpering Leftist female.
Oakland residents — those lawful citizens who aren’t gang members — (all ten of them) actually took umbrage. They said:
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — City leaders in Oakland have been getting some angry e-mails lately from some of the people they serve. Mayor Jean Quan is the major target after her newsletter appears to promote a class designed to teach people how to pick a lock. In a city with a crime problem, it’s easy to see why they’re not happy.
The name of the class appears among 40 others in the catalog for the upcoming “Workshop Weekend” in Oakland, right alongside things like “robot building.” It’s a 3-hour class called “Introduction to Lockpicking” and it was listed on Quan’s newsletter, something some residents found troubling.
“I honestly feel that a lot of people should not have these skills. They shouldn’t have these skills,” Oscar Ruiz said.
Really? D’ya think?
Ah, yes.
Your efficient and effective LEFTIST governments at work.

But BZ, people could scuff their Air Jordans kicking in a door!
Oh, you mean the ones they stole from the Foot Locker or Big 5?
BZ
But of course! Only steal the best!
C’mon; anything less would be shameful! You can’t appear in public absent the latest kicks!

Isn’t this the same mayor who gave city workers a paid day off to attend Occupy Oakland? Maybe it was a dock strike I’m thinking about but this woman is nuts and the people who elected her are idiots. But wait…If she loses her job Barack Obama will probably appoint her to head the EPA or some such position.
Why gosh yes, hgpsurf, that would the very same mayor indeed!
With a mindset like that, the only way for her is UP and ON to DC!
Hooray!

I think that good idea because public will come to know about lock picking because now a days everyone is facing this problem..
