Concerned parents calling themselves SafeBears have raised $40,000 to pay for security guards or “safety ambassadors” to patrol the UC Berkeley campus area for a few weeks in early March.
UC Berkeley may be one of America’s most prestigious schools, but its location in the California Bay Area has parents and students both wary of safety on campus. A group called SafeBears, that touts itself as comprising “1,300+ Cal parents and community allies working to improve safety for UC Berkeley students,” has worked to solve the problem themselves, hoping their prototypical program of patrols around campus will inspire the college to take more action themselves.
The SafeBears website declares that “Cal parents raised over $40,000 to conduct a private security pilot program around UC Berkeley” that was “inspired by USC’s Safety Ambassadors program.” These privately hired security guards have been patrolling the campus area from 6:30 p.m. at night to 3 a.m. starting on March 6, but will only continue to do so until March 23

Sounds like white supremacy to me.
And next Sept, these moms and dads will pack up their little darlings to go get robbed and raped again in the heart of lefty politics. They’d rather see little Suzie with a black eye, empty purse and swollen belly than accept the failures of their politics.
What? They don’t have campus security already?
Vote better.
I will never forget how the young skulls full of mush at UC Berkeley acted when Occupy Wall Street started. All sorts of well-off students ‘camped out’ with very expensive tents and sleeping bags. They even brought their even more expensive laptops. When they went off the march and protest, some of the fools left their laptops in the tents. When they later returned to their tent, they were gobsmacked that someone would actually take the laptops, sleeping bags etc. They believed they were ‘down for the struggle’ that their efforts were sooo important.

Police supervisors and civilian analysts delivered their annual report Tuesday to the City Council. There was a 10.5% increase in “Part I” crimes in Berkeley from 2022 to 2023, according to BPD. “Part I” is a term generally used across law enforcement agencies to refer to the most serious offenses, almost all of which are felonies: murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery, human trafficking, burglary, larceny, auto theft and arson. Part I Violent crimes increased 15%, while Part I Property crimes increased 9.7%.

Boy, 100 Amens! to your statement above. I deal closely with liberals all day every day so I really, really know what you mean. The amazing thing to me is that they CANNOT even discuss Trump....literally! At the sound of his name they become hysterical, start mumbling incoherently, frothing at the mouth, runny nose, tears in their eyes and need a straight jacket or anesthetic to keep from hurting themselves.
