Oakland is hopeless.
Yep
@@barbaraharris4941 Mayor Tsing Tao will fix what every mayor before her fcuked up.
California in general is hopeless. San Francisco and Los Angeles are experiencing the same problems.
THE US IS HOPELESS. You are the laughingstock of the world.
@H T palo alto is fine bro haha
Opening a business there is like giving charity to thieves.
Yeah...sad....makes no sense.
Such a racist
Robbing Another Proprietor...
You have to be dialed in with the right people. When you show the respect of checking in and working with the right people, you'd be surprised how much you actually can flourish out there.
He's not a native Oaklander
Small businesses are dying all over urban America because of this nonsense. Sadly, if caught, nothing of consequence will happen to the thieves. I feel so bad for this guy. You can see the resignation in his face and hear it in his voice.
Urban America??. You spelt "Democrat City's" wrong lol.. This is a Democrat problem. Not a republican problem..
You get what you vote for..
Democrats "Defund the Police, Let criminals out with no bail"..
Its what they voted for so i feel sorry for no one lol.. Hell i love it.. They got there Democracy rofl..
Speak for the bay we’re thriving in San Diego
That's by design so big corporation can take over the building once it foreclosed cause it is too expensive to purchase right now
We need to bring back public canning. No need to house them, just give them 20 hits and let them go. Set up an automated robot so it would be fair and consistent and be done with it. Better then pumping them full of leads which would bring all these political ambulance chaser out of their gutters.
"Urban America" just say it dude. We all know what you mean
Sad when it’s your own community that you need to watch for…
'ur own community' id argue is a piece of the stupid way of thinking that got US into this dumb $hit.
Its sad Oakland is even called a community. I have yet to see any kind of community stories from the media regarding Oakland and the Bay Area in general.
Statistics show its mostly your own community who will come after you.
sad ?? it's been like this for 40 years. Black people are crabs in a bucket
Not his community
your own neighbors are robbing you
actually it's organized crime from out of town.

@@bullballsallday like west virginia and alabama? those are just white slaves... alll you poors need a master
Oakland needs a different DA that doesn't release criminals, more police, and everyone needs to change their attitude towards crime. Until that happens small businesses will continue to be run out of town.
What? Again? I am so sick of this! I left Oakland last fall and moved to Florida, and I'm so glad I did. Here in Florida, crime is not legal, and if you rob a store, you get caught, prosecuted, and put in prison where you belong.
Yep, the NAACP put out a travel warning about that
@@mb9662 but they didnt warn anyone about 100 people shot in chicago in 10 days. Its like the naacp is as honest as blm .

this aint gonna stop as long as liberal degenocrats keep making the rules and policies...
@@max420thcIt doesn't. But carry on.
Why are people still doing business in Oakland? Serious question.
Because there's still a economy there with 400,000 humans
400,000 beings that reside there maybe, but as this story proves many of them aren't humans
They are clueless .
@@rust-0hspray156 maybe a third of them are humans .
@@rust-0hspray156 Yeah but no amount of money is worth your life. You might get by today not getting robbed. But eventually you will. And it's not worth the nervousness and anxiety waiting for it to happen. Find a less crime place to do business.
Crime drives poverty. Criminals taking your phone, your wallet, your car.. Your family too.
No excuse from crime. Just blaq thugs
People will yell and scream in the street that police and Trump is the problem meanwhile stuff like this is rampant. You get what you vote for I suppose. Hoping this guy can keep going.
All that whyt supremacy walking away with his inventory!
IKR...no right wing boogey man to blame this time 😂
These fools BLM themselves lol
mF trump can’t save you either
The usual suspects are waking up early now in Oakland!
never went to bed
Waking up early to go to work. Work of robbing people
was gonna say lol 130am?? bro thats EARLY for them.
This is the new normal in Oakland. Our DA Pamela Price loves criminals, and we voted for woke politicians who believe that all criminals should get lenient treatment. You reap what you sow.
Shut up with ur woke crap. You know what the difference is when we vote people into office? We hold them accountable & if it didn’t work, we vote em out. For years people have been trying to reduce prison overcrowding for non violent offenders. So we tried it. It doesn’t seem to work so we’ll correct it. Unlike the constant losing republican side who offer nothing but a return to the olden days where only white men had rights. Cops were totally accepted murdering & beating innocent people because it wasn’t happening to the rich white dudes. There’s no growth in ur world. Just hate & ignorance. Blue states have rounded out the top 10 best states since forever now, so clearly we know what we’re doing. U guys should try it.
Exactly.. the voters caused this. They're the ones who seated the judges and DA's that won't prosecute criminals to the fullest extent.. but "orange man bad".
Yep, we voted these politicians in. Time to vote them out?
@@shauny2285 never. Democrats are not capable of taking any responsibility , they will blame someone anyone else and keep voting left.
You can vote communists in. You can not vote them out because after voting them in they corrupt everything so you can’t vote them out. There is only one way to get rid of a communist after they get themselves in power ,
I still have a small business left in Oakland…but it’s a fraction of what it use to be. The People of Oakland will run you out of business… if not the Politicians will. Sorry for your loss bro
Bro, they are targeting you. This is exactly why people stop helping artist. Imo it’s not the artist. But their wannabe friends who mooch and want from
Them. Creating that space is magical but it’s so vulnerable to these types of attacks. It is absolutely the same thieves. I’m so sorry for this.
Dude get out of Oakland. It just isn’t safe. Sorry for your loss.
Texas
Just get there.
Nah, stay in oakland where they voted for these policies in the first place, dont spread that cancer to the rest of the country
I hope they all stay there, don't come to my state and turn it into this dumpster fire with their votes.
Small business owners in Oakland and other cities in California are not alone, even Walmart has been having an issue with thefts, to the point now that Walmart is forced to shutdown 21 of their stores in 12 states permanently.
That's fucked up
@@MatoamiKitstakit-bf5rf it's not Walmart's fault for the closures, they're losing billions of dollars in profits each year because of the thefts.

Its a Democrat, Calif, bay area issue! Even Dave Chapelle, who travels everywhere, said, "yall ...need a Batman". Saying San Fran was F'd Up. And it is 😂.
well they voted for this....this is what happens in Democrat cities.... the Cali Legislature is considering a Bill making it a crime to defend yourself or property...ef this 💩hole I'm sick of it.

@@BYOB561 The thing is… IMHO just because they both Black, the robbers and business owner, don’t mean its cool, they see him and his business as a potential lick, free money, nothing but a come up, cuz robbers always looking for a come up, that’s their way of hustling…
Say, in California, Black gang bangers will murder another Black G, cuz that’s their enemy from a different hood without a single problem, they both Black, and often murder each other with full hatred. Sometimes record him knocked out, humiliate him and brutally beat him up while he’s still unconscious. I saw a video of that… Same thing happens in Chicago, so just cause they the same complexion don’t ever mean its cool unless they both proper, raised right men, then yeah…
When I think of it, it’s kinda tribal 🤔 And the O Town hella grimey 👀
Such a shame for this hard working business owner and many others like him. Not only do you have to worry about your business but the customers have to be worried about being robbed at gunpoint. It appears to be a free-for- all situation when lawlessness becomes a city's reputation. Sad...
If they don’t RESPECT this man and his property...we need to raise up like Haiti’s people and take up our own justice as a whole...police and the government will do absolutely NOTHING to change this downward spiral!!
Yeah he should hire security.
He definitly needs security and get a ccw

The only place prosperity is found is in Republican ran areas in America , you get what you vote for
It's so sad isn't it. I hope he can move out of Cali. Seems they are unintrested in stopping thieves.
Not a chance unless you move out. It's all crime and destitute

@@LA_HA PRECISELY....reeks of a hoax scam thing.
The thieves are evil. They even betrayed their very own.
We closed our retail shop because I was sick of living there with my ar, mossburg shorty pump and 9mm glock. I'm a different person than this man. He is way more kind. We were never robbed and very rarely did anyone even mess with us. The neighborhood all knew who I was and the word was out to stay clear.
😂😂😂😂😂 nice dude. Take a stand. 💯
Flower shop huh😊
He should’ve left Oakland completely 🙄
I feel so very sorry for this man.
Its SOMEONE who knows all his movements.
They just wanted food and water. Leave those innocent traumatized thieves alone.

How often can you kick a good person down before they can’t get up anymore? I hope he can find the resilience to keep going.
so he can restock the shelves only for it to happen again? and AGAIN???
just ignore the ACTUAL issues and tell dude 'KEEP IT UP!!!!' lol
They'll find him wherever he moves in that area. It's not about WHERE he put the store. It's about WHAT he sells. You see, the people doing this, they love to dress like that. they just hate work for the money o pay for it. I hope he DOESNT continue unless he has the means to take his business to a better neighborhood. A neighborhood that respects itself and where the people value human life.
@@pillznarRy Hey, it's the Democrat way. Instead of saying, "Wait a minute- this is a recurring problem with the same actors and the same locations", it's "welp, better luck next time".
That's what it sounds like when people are actively avoiding having to say that there is a black violence and crime problem. And there is. I say it. THERE.IS.A.BLACK.CRIME.PROBLEM.
As many times as it takes you to vote for equity and not crime reduction.
@Hit and Run Not sure. The definition of insanity is voting the same way every time and expecting different results. 😢 sad
California deserves every bit of it! You vote for it every time.
I’m glad I moved out of Oakland last summer. I love that city, but things just aren’t getting any better. Lawlessness and the city itself just looks run down. I ended up moving to Henderson, NV. A city 15 minutes away from the Las Vegas strip. Out here, you don’t see graffiti or trash scattered all over. They have maintenance cleaning side of freeways here every morning, the city landscape are well maintained. Parks are kept clean and no homeless encampments. Police out here don’t mess around either, that’s why most residents here are law abiding citizens. How do you go from Oakland, and just crossing those little bridges to go to Alameda and all of a sudden the vibe feels like a difference level of security. 🤦♂️
if youve experienced it over and over. why are you still there. why do you keep voting for the same people over and over again..
cuz theyre brainwashed and conditioned to accept it all.
He moved his store to a different location that was supposed to be safe and still got robbed. Additionally, how do you know who he is voting for? Did he mentioned that in the video?
@@kaliboyred69 At this point, I don't even know if Montclair or Rockridge are safe from this problem.
@@kaliboyred69 fairly certain its just bots that come into every Bay are news video and say "see.... why do you all vote Dem?" at this point. If not, its people that don't even live in California commenting on Bay area news lol. Ignore it.
@@kaliboyred69 Ummm...he moved from one part of Oakland...to...Another part of Oakland. He should have voted Republican and moved to the valley.
I wish there was an exit interview when somebody moves from California. It would help to keep track of peoples dissatisfaction and reasons for leaving.
There is no exodus out of California. The numbers are the same. Republican rhetoric.
I feel for the man. The government of Oakland, California, and the penal system has totally failed this man. He should be given a 007 license, that would help.
I’d suggest trying something new ,like not letting democrats own your vote . But that’s silly , just be good democrat and take it and always be loyal to your rulers .
Wow--they talk about this shit like it's normal. Homeboy probably don't have insurance for all that stolen merchandise. Dude needs to pivot, because the city's not going to protect his business..💵💵
Wait...What ? That little clothing shop was selling stolen shit ?
@@imajokerimasmokerimamidnig7442 No.. she's saying that the owner probably didn't have insurance for all that merchandise that the thieves stole.

How does that saying go?
"Fool me once?"
Yeah, shame on him. Shame on him.
This happened in Oakland California no way. Such a wholesome place to live and raise a family 😂 ❤
Says someone who clearly never been to Oakland and only believes what the media shows them.
Clearly they aren't stealing because they're hungry
yeah they are
@@shiveringnerve they probably steal there food anyway more people steal these days because they can easily sell stuff online with their phones
If we didn't have access to sell shit on our phone there would be less theft
Poor guy, you can see that he’s truly desensitized by this.
I feel so sad for all the small businesses faced with corrupt individuals.
I feel so sorry for him and all businesses that have been target of thieves.
Why do you feel sorry for them when they elect woke politicians who are soft on crime?
It's all insured...don't be stupid
Why? They voted Democrat and defund the police.. What did you think would happen lol.. You lefties arent too smart..
Feel bad for him but what did he expect?
In business school, they don't teach you to open a store in a crime plagued city? How can you explain all of the pizza parlors in Detroit?
@@chinatownboy7482 persons of violence need food too i guess.
Horrible... If you get caught stealing, you should get an automatic ass whooping from the store owner.
I feel so bad for this man that I can’t even keep watching this. Pretty soon, there will be no more stores for these lazy, useless humans to steal from.
Then they'll be screaming BLM
Keep voting as usual👍🏼
The pay you get trying to help the community 😢😢
It would be wise for him to take his entire business ONLINE.
Is BLM going to support this victim?
hellno.....are you kidding?
Can’t we just call this a peaceful protest and move on ? ❤
another youthful gathering..
Those yutes gotsa get their denim jackets on, I guess
R.I.P. CALIFORNIA
Its tough out there for small business owners in the bay
I mean other than camping out and doing your own shooting what else is a owner supposed to do
Leave
This is what your guys voted Pamela Price for!!
At this point hes gonna have to sell scrubs & work uniforms.
"This time a suspect reported seeing four suspects" lmao what
Can't blame this on Trump.
The media controlled by the left convinced everyone that Trump was a terrible person. They swayed the voters.. putting in democrat politicians, judges, and DA's in office that are pro-crime and won't prosecute criminals to the fullest extent and this is a result of that.
I just want to give him a hug
A naked hug, with lubricant.
Unfortunately it will only become worse for at least the next five and possibly ten years in Oakland and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Heard a lady in Raleigh today say “I’m moving here from California” and I thought please don’t…
This is happening everywhere; you have to watch local news channels to know about it - network news doesn't cover it.
Its not everywhere. Its in large cities with large minority populations. Very little crime in less diverse places .
It's nice of this small business to be donating it's goods to the community. Those good people really appreciate it i'm sure
They "peacefully" broke into his store.
Its Oakland! Hopefully the owner had good insurance, but really he should have moved out of the city.
Oaklanders need to wake up and do something or it will get worse.
They have proven to be incapable of understanding that thus they will complain and vote the same every time. It is truly mass insanity.
How do black people that don’t want this lawless world prevent this from happening? Once this man gives up, does he then become like the people who robbed him? This feels like watching a zombie infection spreading.
Location location location... pick a safer location. Catering to crime ridden communities does not bring anyone the respect of that community. Blk on blk violence is real, it's rampant, it's rising. They have no brotherhood in the inner cities, especially these blue cities. Blue cities have a well experienced history in abusing blk people, but you can never make the victims admit it. Florida leads the nation in blk owned businesses, must be alright there.
Thank Stanford Law professor Michael Romano for decriminalizing such theft
😢😢😢😢
Small business unable to profit for paying their bills, large businesses unable to profit for paying their bills.
What kind of retail future will there be?
🙋🏼
Insurance fraud .. these businesses are smart, how can you sell all your merchandise and still get a check
I feel for this hardworking business owner. It’s way past time for the city council to reach out to Gov. Newsom for additional law enforcement. How about calling up some National Guardsmen to assist in patrolling these neighborhoods?
trump offered that and was rebuked big time.. london breed brought them in for the tenderloin and crickets from the democrats.. its all politics.
Newsom is the reason california got this bad you can steal under $950 and it wont be a felony if your black.
Are you serious?
Man, you people are so ignorant!
Funny you should say that. Donald Trump suggested that and he got called a racist for doing so. Remember that? When the media commanded everyone to call Donald Trump a racist and everyone blindly listened. Now everything he said would happen is happening. Look at Chicago, LA, and NY. You see all the illegals being flown there and put in hotels? For free. Free phones. Free housing. In Chicago, they are housing them in the college dorms. In NY, hotels. Donald Trump said "let's build a wall". The media told America to call him racist, and they listened. Now look. Does the wall seem racist now? Does the national guard sound like a racist plan now?
Small stores going out of business due to thefts, supermarkets putting everything behind glass, restaurants (in nice areas) with bars on the windows. Sucks.
If he has a go fund me I am happy to donate.
I hope this man can pull through. Very sad situation.
Open your store online idk that's messed up that you work so hard just to have your own kind stealing from you or put some Rottweilers in there!!!
Put some apple airtags in some bait clothes. You will find all your stuff after the next break in
Every Day the news is the same, another small business wiped out by thugs. Time to move out of Oakland
This guy has been broken into 7 TIMES and the local PD has done NOTHING? It makes one think that either the police are in on it or that the police are just incompetent. I feel for this guy.
The police have been defunded and shoplifting isn't even a crime in all of CA, the people voted for this, the people can stay and enjoy what they asked for
its California, thieves dont get arrested.
Keep voting democrats
Hire a guard, have them away from the door with rifles at the ready and let them have it, only real way to stop these criminals because the institutions we pay taxes too aren’t doing shit or getting the results that we the public want and pay for
Like a small business can afford to hire an armed guard. Is this a night gig or do we need armed security 24/7?
@Joe smith he's been robbed 7 times, they know they can get away with it. Either build a fortress to protect your property or move. Unfortunately that's the situation in a lot of California cities.
@Joe smith Cuz they wants they reperations.
You voted for them?
Yeah right. That guard would be shot dead before the sun sets over some clothing. Who tf wants to deal with that
So sorry for your loss
Thumbs up to the KTVU team for reporting on this...
I'm so sorry to this business owner. I hope he had insurance, although who would insure him after this.
This is why we can't have nice things in Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, etc.
I feel for Oakland property owners, too. Until this stop, they will never be able to recoup the money they've invested in their homes.
Wishing the best for all of you who have empathy for others.
You entitled, morally bankrupt, empathy-deficient A-holes are going to eventually get what you deserve...maybe not today, but someone's gonna snap on you, and...
Unbelievable. You hear these black power empowerment types talking about rise up, boycott interlopers and stuff. Never do they mention private ownership in their community. Just boycott this boycott that. Well this guy put words into action. And this happens.
I hope you read this my man. This really sucks for you hold strong. But do yourself a big favor. Start looking for your inventory online. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere online. Screenshot photocopy it film it whatever. Believe it or not the cops need help. If you could help them we can help you.
It’s not the cops bc even if the criminals are arrested, they won’t be prosecuted
So sorry for this man. 🙏🏻
¿Por qué seguiría intentando administrar un negocio en Oakland?
It comes with having a business in that part of the city you couldn’t have thought your store wouldn’t be a target if he is a real Oakland native and the problem is people think they can open up businesses in the city and that people will have respect for the business. They don’t know you, it’s not right but that’s how Oakland is if you’re not known in the community you’re business is just waiting to be a target
and the police insist on us calling them instead.
Call them, after the fact, to report that you shot 3 burglars.
Na they dont want people that openly hate them to call. You got what you wanted enjoy.
@@chinatownboy7482 my kinda thinking
really sad his own people is to blame for violence in Oakland
And almost every big city in America.
@@Westcoastguy Exactly 👍🏻
And everywhere else in the world that you can find one of them. Amazing how in countries where they don't live, these problems don't exist. You just don't see this Siberia, Kazakhstan, Tel Aviv, Saigon, Jordan, or Tonga.
This is horrible 💔 and heartbreaking. He's helping people and people steal from him smh 🤦🏽♂️
stop opening stores in places like that and if you already have a store in an area like that close it let them all go about life without any stores
The scary part is the people in charge Mayor, the police, city council, have no plan or strategy to stop it, and the criminals and citizens know that. I don't even remember it being this bad in the 80's it's basically uncivilized now. And citizens are going to start taking things into their own hands, which is really bad! The officials are in hiding because they have nothing to offer the citizens except identity politics and distractions, no real policy or financial investments. If I was the new mayor, even without a plan, I would be out meeting people every day and at least looking like I was doing something. 😂
So you admit that you wouldn't actually DO anything? just talk to people. Gotcha.
There's a common thread here in these robberies.
