Jen Angel, a beloved local bakery owner and social justice community activist, died on Thursday from injuries she suffered in a violent robbery, according to her close friends. She was 48.

Her friend, Emily Harris, told KRON4, “I’m devastated. Jen has been such a pillar of love and support, a person who brings so many people together in Oakland.”

A statement written by her friends on Thursday night stated, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Oakland baker, small business owner, social justice activist, and community member Jen Angel has been medically declared to have lost all brain function, and will not regain consciousness. Her official time of death was 5:48 p.m.”

Apparently, she was an BLM-loving anarchist who was very pro-decriminalization. According to an Andy Ngo tweet, the GoFundMe campaign for her stated that they hoped the perpetrators would not have to go to prison.

All I can say is may God have mercy on your soul.

SCHADENFREUDE MOMENT

Her friends wrote that Angel would want “alternatives to traditional prosecution, such as restorative justice. Jen’s family and close friends ask that the media respect this request and carry forward the story of her life with celebration and clarity about the world she aimed to build. Do not use her legacy of care and community to further inflame narratives of fear, hatred, and vengeance, nor to advance putting public resources into policing, incarceration, or other state violence that perpetuates the cycles of violence that resulted in this tragedy.”

and social justice community activist

Its the media equivalent, for victims, of: "he loved his momma," "he was working on his GED," or "was an aspiring rap star"

It’s sad but there seemed to be a bit of Amy Beihl in her.

It’s rare on Earth for poetic justice to actually occur. In this case someone who votes to establish the most ridiculous punitive policies actually suffered from the consequence of her own bad philosophy.

Give the bakery to the perp. Let him try to make bread instead of mayhem.

While I feel a tiny bit sorry that she got killed (she wasn’t an actual criminal, just a criminal enabler) I can’t help feeling that she got what she asked for.

“carry forward the story of her life with celebration and clarity about the world she aimed to build”

Unfortunately that world isn’t possible without prosecution and incarceration......very sad that she had to learn that lesson at the cost of her life.

The tragic thing here is not just that her warped thinking got her killed. It’s also that her warped thinking will get others killed too.

I first read the comments and thought “geez, people here seem a bit harsh.”

Then I read the article, with its stinking, steaming pile of woke-speak, all the talk about Jen’s “social justice,” and thought - “at least she died doing what she loved, which is being a moronic leftist ass.”
