Sounds like a safe place to rob. Who’s going to stop you in the first place and then who’s going to look for you in the second.

Perhaps someone should remind the shop that the SCOTUS has ruled that the LEOs have no duty or obligation to protect the patrons and should they need rescue they should call someone who would care.

Here it is “to death”-I don’t speak the dialect used in California-just the one used here-but it sounds close enough-either way, I hope the Oakland cops “open a dialog” with that business by not going there at all-help them to have una muerta rapida......

If they truly had conviction, they would also assure any would be robbers at their establishment they will not be hassled by the law. But they will be subject to a friendly dialogue with an employee.

Seems like a discrimination suit is in order; even won, who’d want to go to this shop? Maybe need visits by ICE, health inspector, tax man, and a few others.

And who is renting the space to them? Maybe some spotlight on them as well.

I was thinking of picketing the shop in order to show support for the police. I have to admit I was pretty stunned as most shops provide free coffee to police in appreciation for work.

I am not even sure this is legal under the state’s broad Unruh Act which prohibits discrimination based on political beliefs (among other items).

In any case it makes me angry.

Why doesn’t Mexifornia just declare their independence?

Gringo dollars, that’s why.

How would they like it if the police decided to stop serving them ... during a robbery or something.

On the other hand, the Fruitvale district is not somewhere I would want to walk the streets, day or night. Particularly without police protection.

Refusal to serve amounts to political speech and must be protected as such.

Personally I believe, since slavery officially ended in 1865, refusal to serve should always be allowed, for any reason, including any politically incorrect one.

I’m posting here on Free Republic. Freedom has more than one facet.

Replace the “No shirt. No shoes. No service” sign with a “No guns. No cops. Free money” sign.
