Walnut Creek is still locked down for COVID and now has nightly curfew.

My daughter and her boyfriend got back tonight from an eight day trip to Idaho to visit my wife and drove into the police cordon in Walnut Creek where they live. She says they now wish they had stayed another week in Idaho.

Walnut Creek is (or was) a nice, peaceful suburban town. It’s not good this crap is starting in the suburbs.

Ground zero of white affluent Trump-hating liberal land.

Strong and prompt police reaction. This has been long overdue.

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2020

People were told only a civil war was going stop the left, a war that only the left was fighting, and most responded saying the idea was ridiculous. We may have no other choice.

many breaking into stores with hammers

That's an Antifa signature. Showing up at "protests" armed with hammers and accelerants...

[CatOwner]

About 10 miles away from my wife’s only family still living in California. Yikes.

[imardmd1]

The strategy of the looters is to hit the store goods, then firebomb the place with accelerant to cover up any clues as to who they are. The containers of gasoline are pre-packaged by the organized instigators and distributed about a block or two away when certain stores are scheduled to be looted.

Here's a Twitter link to a video by a eyewitness poster showing the gasoline containers being passed out:

Also, another observation is that there are a lot of white youths running around with the rioters, particularly young girls. I don't see that being reported, do I?

>> was shot near Koja Kitchen restaurant... <<

Roof Koreans?

I thought the military had a microwave weapon. “Blow’d the head clean off”, might be real.

Thanks for information...

Richmond PD...In the San Francisco Bay area...I am not too surprised that there are problems in City of Richmond...

Thugs are stealing things in San Leandro...

Curfew in Walnut Creek...I was surprised...
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...

I am glad to hear that you and your family are doing fine at this time...

I have friends who live in Alameda County...They live in nice cities...One friend sent me a text message about Monday...Rioters are expected to show up at his city on Monday...

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. You're stealing our diversity! (Went shopping today in South San Francisco and San Bruno, lots of shoppers out, apparently they're all buying goods in peace.)

[Rj Snows]

And why were they allowed to walk freely through the streets with hammers breaking windows and doors walking into places and stealing things from inside and leaving and why were they not arrested by the police department

[mumblypeg]

The Mercury News story is verrrry
carefully worded, I notice.
Impossible to tell if the woman who was shot was a looter or peaceful protester.

This is a duplication of what I posted here:

Scottsdale is Walnut Creek

There were some rare anomalies in Walnut Creek around 25 years ago. A friend used to eat at a taqueria there but stopped after it was nicknamed, for obvious reasons, “Stabberia”.

No place is totally safe from deranged out-of-towners. Even sleepy Orinda had a shooting incident a couple of years ago at an AirBnB rented house “party”.

[Political Junkie Too]

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.

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.

Curfew? Constitution? What Constitution?

[1Old Pro]

The city of Walnut Creek (California - San Francisco East Bay Area) quickly imposed a curfew Sunday

WHY, nobody is abiding by hem, as a mater of fact mayors of the largest cities are applauding their daughters for not adhering to curfews.

[moehoward]

Used to live next door in Lafayette. Other than a couple local spoiled Brats, these will be yutes commuting from Oakland.

It’s interesting where these protests are starting. They’ve learned from the Rodney King riots. By the time they got to better neighborhoods the line had been drawn. Now they’re leap frogging to their targets.
