Oakland, Ever Get The Feeling You've Been Cheated?

Oakland has at least one murder a week. Creeps pimp out teenaged girls in broad daylight. You can buy crack or heroin 30 feet from my door. Two of my neighbors have been held up at gun point this summer.
The City of Oakland says there's no resources to stop any of that.
But people protesting the fact that rich bankers got a bail out and everyone else got nothing? The city shuts them down tight. Bang. Done. Riot act.
Do you ever get the feeling you've bean cheated? I do. Every day.

Read a first hand account of how campus bureaucrats justify the unjustifiable.  It's very easy for Chancellor Birgenau to mouth platitudes as he's not the one getting his ribs cracked.
