Walnut Creek (CA) quickly imposes curfew after woman is shot, as East Bay cities grapple with looting across shopping centers

The daylight shooting came as hundreds — mostly young people — spread out throughout Walnut Creek, San Leandro and elsewhere in the East Bay... Sgt. Ray Kelly of the Alameda County Sherrif’s office, said looters at Bayfair in San Leandro fired shots at deputies, but no deputies were hit.

Major BART stations.

Bayfair is a transfer point on the Richmond-Fremont line for people to connect to the Dublin-Pleasanton station.

The Concord-Walnut Creek-San Francisco line transfers to Richmond in Oakland.

“It is possible that thugs, living in Alameda County, decided to go to Walnut Creek and create problems...”

thats exactly what it was. They wanted to go to “Lilly white” Walnut Creek. BLM did it a few years ago there, went and “occupied” some brunch restaurant during brunch.

Ground zero of white affluent Trump-hating liberal land.

Actually I live near Walnut Creek and the political split is about 50-50. And yes very white but we have lots of Asians here too. Contra Costa County. White affluent Trump hating liberal land is Marin County.

Antifa is a relatively small group, but well organized and well funded.

They are a criminal organization, easily crushed by determined law enforcement.

All we are missing is determined law enforcement.

You all are stealing our black folks from the SF Peninsula. Used to be that Walnut Creek was lily white. SF a few decades back was 16 percent black; now it’s down to about 5 or 6 percent black.

At this time, the SF Mayor is a black female...

It is possible that thugs, living in Alameda County, decided to go to Walnut Creek and create problems...I am talking about cities like Oakland and Hayward...I am sure there are many thugs in those cities...

Don't forget West Pittsburg and parts of Concord. Vallejo comes to mind, too. Or am I outdated? Graduated Pleasant Hill High in 64, and left the area in 70.

OK, I guess there are thugs in Vallejo...

Really, some parts of Concord are terrible? I did not realize that...

I am not familiar with West Pittburg...

And jumped the fare gates. Thugs ride for free.

I guess BART police was too busy helping out other agencies deal with riots?

The gate-jumping is a routine thing with this group, even in times of peace. BART police are present but look the other way, I guess.

So what? We had Willie Brown as a black mayor in the 1990s. Mayor London Breed graduated from my high school (she was born long after I graduated). At the time I attended, it was maybe 30 percent black or more. That has dwindled over the decades since, but still has some blacks attending. I remember the race riots back then in the 60s in high school, my blond girlfriend got tossed down the stairs, and I got jumped and beaten by four blacks (and rescued by several other blacks). It wasn't all bad, back then it was about getting beaten but not killed like now. Situation crazy now.

Wow. Walnut Creek is considered an upscale/safe part of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, being well east of Berkely. Walnut Creek is basically where the bay area ends on its eastern edge. After that is just hills and farmland all the way 50 miles to Stockton.

If the Hyenas are destroying places like Walnut Creek, then really no place is safe but the sticks. The preppers are in good shape.

Good things most Freepers are armed, except those after unfortunate boating accidents.

Presidential election results for Walnut Creek.

Clinton - 68%

Trump - 24%

Hillary pulled almost 3 times the votes in Walnut Creek as President Trump did. Walnut Creek may not be Berkeley or San Francisco, but yes it is overwhelmingly liberal.
