Seabound bandits terrorize San Francisco Bay; some residents blame surge of nearby homeless camps

Burglars have been raiding yachts and houseboats in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary in a surge one resident compared to the pirate movie "Captain Phillips."

They steal anything of value, then either sink the ships or dump the remnants of plundered boats miles away in the Oakland Harbor or along its shorelines, said Dan Hill, who lives on his boat like many other families in the 800-foot waterway.

Each "attack" can cost the owner thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, Hill said.

Had enough yet, stupid rich libs? You hold the power at the ballot box to make it stop. As Dan Bongino would put it, let us know if it’s bad enough yet

It’s time to issue letters of marque to privateers. The Constitution gives Congress the power to do so. And it was done during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. So hey, why not now?

Last time I went to the Bay Area to visit family, I saw quite a few people living in tents within walking distance of middle class neighborhoods.

These are the people whom the Biden administration is inviting into the country illegally. They have no skills (if they did, they’d be here on a visa) and their quality of life does not improve once they get here. But now, instead of living in shacks where everyone is living in shacks, they now see people living in luxury every day. And they become envious and resentful. No surprise, then, that they should decide that they are going to take all that wealth for themselves since they have no way of earning it.

Those who vote for bleeding heart leftists to open the borders should not complain when there are consequences.

That’s right, if you live on the water, you have a “three esses” option. Shoot, sail, and sink.

Oh there is law alright, and watch how quickly it goes into action when a victim tries to defend themselves against the lawless punks

Your absolutely right. They need to keep voting for Democrats. Things are sure to get better.

Tent dwellers are not homeless

Their homes are portable

Traditionally, pirates have their throats slit and are tossed overboard.

Well, most people in SF voted for this.

Actually, people in SF voted for the ones ruining SF, with the help of feral blacks coming from Oakland, since voters in Oakland voted for the ones who ruined Oakland - although there isn't much left to ruin in Oakland. Now the feral blacks have turned their attention to raiding Alameda. The new "Oakland Raiders".
