- There's a man in Oakland who literally follows crime scenes and other insults to his hometown and shares it with the world; not to embarrass his city, but to advocate for its resurrection. KTVU's Tom Vacar reports from Oakland.

looks like he has done more for oakland in 2 years than its existing mayor.
😂
I say, elect him!
She’s too busy trying to keep criminals out of jail.
It won't matter because Blacks will show up to vote and they'll always vote for the Progressive Democrat and this is what is destroying these cities.
not true - but if you don't live here sounds good
This man’s a social hero. Finally using social media for something worthwhile instead of stupid fake videos.
Do people remember Dead Wish movie? Oakland needs a new Charles Bronson to deal with J B supporters while local officials turned a blind eye.
Exactly!
Thats ironic because his videos are alsk pretty stupid.He doesn’t do anything for the community,just post his dumb videos to get views
He's not wrong.
Criminal violence is far out of hand.
Only a full time full in force lockdown type national guard protection can only begin to solve this.
the more involvement and more donating to one's favorite 'right' candidates and or issues can bring about the 'right' results.
leftists will make hay out of a military presence, best to avoid that if possible..
@@violent_bebop9687
Nor is he right.
Cheap talk.
agreed
This dude is a certified hood legend.
Facts
Oakland is a grim reminder of when you let feelings and not logic vote.
Thats why red states have just as much crime? No policitian gives a f about u. Get a life
Humanity is definitely pretty classy. Grand mastery in self-destruction, but NEVER in self-Reflection.
I’ve always said this. Vote with your brain and not your heart.
@@bxi1547 how stupid can u be. Red states have high crime too
'balance' also is fine. Sadly for so many, it's much easier to simply listen to talking heads or what made it into print, it could be a surprise to many if they would truly sit down and analyze candidates, again they'll be surprised what comes from that...
@@bxi1547
The problem with Oakland is that the residence know very well who is doing the crimes and where they live, yet no one speaks up. Why? Snitches gets stitches.
Because they benefit from it
@@jeremys6631 Is that why the Mother's are whining on TV about their "good boy" who got put in prison?? Cause he was bringing the money to the family, etc?
Blacks will always vote Progressive Democrat and therein lay the problem.
Yeah that's why I don't give a f*** what happens there😂
@@MaryHartman-ei9pvthe issue with not caring is that it spills over into your own neighborhood.
The solution seems simple enough. Just keep the criminals locked up. Stop voting for a certain party.
It’s hit rock bottom 😢 good for him for exposing the truth! God bless him🙏
except it hasn't hundreds of thousands of people live here with no problems.
Oakland is a no-go zone.
All of California
San Francisco too
All of CALIFORNIA
Yes, please stay out of our town. Thanks.
@@threeheavenshealing you don't have to ask us twice🤣 I stay out of the entire State of California I can no longer travel there it's pretty sad
Fixing Oakland is going to take extreme and borderline unethical practices that no one there would ever allow.
It’s time
I think it takes closing all the fast food restaurants and all the store so no one gets robbed
All of the shopping centers, restaurants, libraries, etc should shut down as soon as possible.
Now if that sounds to harsh or even not feasible then the businesses should Stop Paying Their City's Taxes !!
Oakland is one of many cities in California that have gone well past saving 😮😢
Ok Danny boy
I agree but the soft Iiberals won’t ever let it happen. While they live in alameda county suburbs
He might not have been born here but hes been here long enough to remember when America was great
when it was oppressing minorities, and women couldn't work or vote? Stay white, and keep wondering why you got "replaced".
hes only been in oakland 20 years, so he doesnt now about none of the historical matters. the 80s and 90s were way more violent. civil rights, whight flight, housing covenents for whights only. built on genocide and slavery. never been great.
Well yeah, even the Korean government said to be careful traveling to the hell hole CA.
america is built on jenocide and slavry. segregation. still discriminates against anyone who doesnt have deep pockets. more people in jail thsn any other country. its never been great. he just doesnt know better.
When he said Oakland had problems before, but was not like how it is now, I agree 100%. Any part of Oakland you step foot in, there's always a concern that you're at the wrong place. Even at the nicer parts of Oakland. This is a new level of terrible.
The change happened with the BLM movement and the activists groups that grew up around it like the anti police terror project. They created so much pressure on city leaders to drop what they called discriminatory policing while at the same time getting a radical activist into the DAs office. Most people that live in Oakland don’t even know what has happened and don’t understand the dynamic. The ones that do understand the dynamic still vote for it because they refuse to give up on the progressive liberal dream that if you’re really nice and lenient to people they will eventually fall in line and behave. Unfortunately the very nature of progressive liberalism is to have sympathy and empathy without rationality. They want to solve everything with “ programs” but the tax base to pay for these programs is drying up and their only answer is to tax those people and businesses that still remain more in order to pay for them instead of providing adequate services to those that bear the brunt of the taxes. I could go on and on but the reality is that Oakland is in a death spiral and when I see the Mayor and other city leaders give Namby Pamby weak ass speeches that show how out of touch they are with the situation on the ground, it shatters any confidence I could ever have in them. When the one female Indian city leader talked about how great it was that Taco Bell closed it’s dining room on Hegenberger road because that will give people the opportunity to try some of the fine dining located just up the block, I further realized just how much these people actually despise the honest, hardworking citizens of Oakland. They can’t even secure and protect a two mile stretch of road to the airport. How are they going to protect an entire city?
This man’s quote is actually from a popular song by Mexican singer José Alfredo Jimenez, about his home city. “Aqui en León Guanajuato, la vida no vale nada.” 🦁⚽️💚
Wow, I did not know that. I thought it was his own original idea. Pretty catchy tho
The actual translation is Oakland California, where life is worth nothing.
Amd the difference is..??..
❤ thanks for translating
Says the person who is not from Oakland.
@@atatterson6992The difference is I know spanish and you don't. lmaoo
@@sneat2028Thank god i'm not. Rather stay in modesto than shitland
Lived in the bay area for 33 years. Finally got out of there.
I don't think there is any hope of turning it around. Career criminals get a free pass. Everyone else suffer or leave. It's really sad because i loved California.
💯🌟
I agree with him Oakland wasn’t like that before. It was still bad before but it’s gotten even worse.
Oakland is done. There's no hope for Oakland. And even if there's a glimmer of hope the damage has been done and it's getting worst.
Worse
Why is he hiding his face when his Name is being mentioned?
Emulating his hero maybe? 🤔 He looks like Subcomodante Marcos from the Zapatistas.
Leftist are very violent
I lived in Oakland. I joined "Life is Cheap." a long time ago.
Detroit in the making 💩
I'd vote for him
Welcome to Mogadishu, California.
Seeing ignorant-comments like yours tells me, people like you know nothing about Oakland.
I was raised on 98th & E in the 80's 😢 it's really sad how it has become. I wish we could resurrect Oakland.
It was a lot different in the 80’s and 90’s.
@@rainbowsandbutterflies3Crime was way worse back then.
Oakland will eventually be the scene for a new Call of Duty PS5 video game.
that's what happens when the average iq is 65
Ah -65
negative, ive got degrees, the liberals ruined this city
his signature call sign should be Oakland city official motto, with even the mayor wearing a shirt with it on, but add after three dots....a menos que juntamos. It could bring the community together.
Suerte
The city don’t give a flying fawk
Protect this man at all costs
When a lot of this could be done purposely for video shots because it’s money to be made, but he got y’all attention and then he doesn’t show his face. He’s probably on some cameras doing bad things.
He certainly has plenty of material to pull from.
It’s true. The people in charge don’t care. It’s sad.
I Like Watching His Videos …. Priceless !!!!!! 💯💯💯💯
As a former east oaklander myself dude is spot on. Keep up the good work fight the power fix the shit if you hear us elected officials fix the damn problems.
Wow this is what needs to be done , this man is a Genius , This is a problem solver . Oakland deserves better . Anyone that has lived in Oakland for there entire life , has love for Oakland , and keep hope alive that people will start caring about this Historic city that was a pleasure to spend time in at one time . And YOU that's right YOU know wrong from right , so lets just make the right decision all of us , you can still have fun without hurting others .
Damn! Great reporting
Oakland in the 60's, 70's, & 80's was clean. It may have had some issues - but now it seems no one cares. Garbage everywhere, crime is out of control. We have to work together to get it together.
Y'all are free to vote republican any time
And make the problem worse? Lol
One really strong MAYOR and a POLICE CHIEF who work together could fix OAKLAND. WE NEED LEADERS THAT CARE and can push their policies NOW
The Oakland city council is a major part of the problem
sad, there was a guy doing this prior to this guy but they chose this guy to highlight his post. I’ve been following each one of them and I see the difference that’s being made
Today's Oakland makes 1980s Oakland look like a paradise.
💯😂
East Coast people came to " OAKLAND " from the past. And then this is What 😢
How did they get that pruis on a container like that ?
With the stolen forklift
This dude is subtlety promoting his IG page.
Oakland is just one example of a once great White safe and clean city, now fallen to jungle madness.
Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Dallas, St.Louis, Cleveland, Memphis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, New York City, Chicago, Milwaukee etc etc all perfectly match what we see in Haiti and Sub Sahara Africa.
But people refuse to see and and cowardly say “we shouldn’t generalize” and “we should look at the individual.”
But individuals don’t make up societies, people with certain cultures do.
What do all of those place have in common? Black people who had to overcome slavery and colonization under 200 years ago. In the American cities you named black people had to deal with redlining wich still affects our families to this day. The wealth disparity in this country didn’t happen by accident and you know that coward.
Everywhere they go, the SAME thing happens.
Donde la vida no vale nada
Change the power wow big statement Tom
Try voting Republican for a change. You see what the democrats have done for you and you keep voting for them, so that means you love what they have done.
There’s another account that does this
METAL LEO
Are you kidding? It's impossible to embarrass Oakland.
For anything to be "embarrassed" there has to be some shred of a good reputation to begin with.
We stand with Ramon 💯
worst than 3rd world
Oakland would do well getting gentrified. Where are all the wealthy rich white ppl need to move in. Ghettos would move out or be gone.
I wonder why?
Black
Amazing. Criticism from someone who barely speaks English 😮
But the government can't be everywhere at once especially with dwindling tax base. These rotten apples need to stop or be stopped.
Hahaha i follow this guys channel!!
show it. this is the wealthy bay area. show it all to the world. its embarrassing that the government doesnt help.
Just 20 years in Oakland?..Brother you still haven't scratched the surface..I been in Oakland for 50 years and I just moved out cause loosing 3 sports teams, Denny's and other businesses is down right embarrassing..If there was a team that Oakland should have bent over backwards for it should have been the Raiders..The City of Oakland government is a piece of s__t.. I've never voted for these people cause they are nothing but talk..
Only 20 years but hes not wrong n hes trying to bring awareness gotta respect that
@Wiseman08 Ill respect him when he starts talking to his people about side shows and burning up cars
Of all the problems in Oakland, you list losing a Denny's and the Raiders like if those matter
Where the 🧔♀️ bearded lady from the city council
That dumb b a problem too
Helped F off the A’s too with the woke bs
@@JamesBondCoupe Absolutely 💯😁..I respect what he is doing for sure but the voter's have a say in this..I will go on the record by saying the best Mayor Oakland ever had was John Reading who was a Republican by the way..He did a lot of great things for Oakland..Do your research on John Reading..
Absolutely hilarious Oakland mocked
I love how he says “Oakland California!”
It's to late..
He is telling the truth
When criminals know they won't be chased or stopped what do you think is going to happen? How many videos have we seen where Cops show up to a crime in progress only to let the criminals drive away in front of them?
Truth to Power!! 💪🏾 We Bout to Change The Power!! 🫶🏾👊🏾✊🏾 I hope all 9 counties are hearing this, this not not just an Oakland thing. Together we are better.
Yet you keep voting Democrat.
Can't fix nothing until that changes
I don't think the reporter realizes that people use his sound to highlight similar scenarios. What he's doing is great, but he doesn't actually travel to all these places. He sees people post crime, and adds his sound to the clip.
Poor living conditions. Only poor families
20 years in Oakland and still barely understandable... he obviously speaks Spanish day and night, only broken English when he has to.
This is ONE of the huge problems of immigration, no assimilation.
As someone who lives in a major Spanish speaking part of the US, I think it's time we implement Espanol as a second language(much like Brazil does), we could also use some of our massive wasted tax payer money to teach English to immigrants. The problem between English and Spanish language is how differently it's spoken, and the older you get the harder it is to learn, as an English speaker getting a grasp on Spanish opens the door to learn a lot of the Roman based languages.
A real life Mad Max 1 remake.
The nerve of him. He’s probably use to it! 😂
Bruh
“Dee la vida” laugh
The Democrats have become the best reason to vote Republican.
Just have to smile at this while watching, but it is so true.
Maybe use one of those giant foam hands with the pointed finger and point it at the crime scene while making the statement "donde la vida no vale", for emphasis.
How the heck did that car land on top of that dumpster? Only in Oakland..
Good luck bro , I’m still staying away
Looks like a war zone
It IS a war zone!
Lacks Tom Vacar's usual thoroughness.
The city of Oakland should sub contract their law enforcement to an independent contractor like Omni Consumer Products.
Man Robocop was way before it's time, it and Idiocracy pretty much predicted the future of the US.
Anywhere blacks come, it would become like Oakland
You are wrong. Blacks were everywhere before gentrification and high priced housing came. Now everyone there is broke and starving because they’ve been priced out. They feel desperate times cause for desperate measures
This is one of many reason's we need this mayor recall to happen and appointed a mayor that will be pro-active in taking action in gaining control back of this city and how about get out of your seat and take a walk down deep east Oakland in these high crime area's and see up front and personal and talk with the folks on these streets!!
I heard it so many times, just annoying now.
Naah it still funny AF😂
Yeah it’s almost like a badge of honor or something, tryna get instagram famous off the misfortune of victims
Define: "The City"
The legend himself! Oakland is lost.
You can thank John Burris for making Oakland for this. While he bask in the money he’s made off of Oakland.
Another African country gone to seed
To paraphrase Albert Einstein.
“The definition of insanity is electing the same liberal politicians over and over and expecting different results.“
“Speak truth to power, expect results, and if not, change the power” is one of the essential conditions for a democracy, an accountable governance.
However, a more basic condition for a democracy is rule of law. There is no rule of law left in Oakland. (1) Crime has been de-criminalized. (2) Law is not enforced.
Oakland is dead. Don’t let the taint spread to other towns. Please. Quarantine the despair.
I like dude I talk to him all the time
Bueno amigo
Is Oakland on the no travel advisory list?

It’s up to the Oakland voters, their choice.
Yes! A LARGE part of Oakland's population is under represented and silent! That is changing!
But his talking facts.
everyone knows what the problem is, it's redundant if you live there, documenting it for the rest of us isn't a solution. besides, we all know the results of 'progressive' 'leadership.' 'something needs to be done' is easy to say, it's something else to arrive at remedies based on the resources you have and adhering ever-restrictive laws, especially when your biggest problem inside the system has so much power.
Come back home, Mexico is safer
I'm jealous that Dems get everything they vote for.
Lay off the political crap and you might be a better person.
@@SnarkyRC Perhaps you should pay more attention to the politics that led to this so you might have a better city and state. That may make you a better person.
He should run for mayor. At least he SPEAKS THE TRUTH, unlike all those clowns at that Hegenberger press conference today!!
Stay classy, humanity. :/ For thousands of years, you've been champions of chaos. No need to mar such rowdy records.
"The Power" was fine prior to 2020.
Think about that.
Oakland need El Salvador’s president
Voice your frustrations, dissolutiontment, disappointment via the ballot box .
Oakland is the type claim to be Oppressed and killing eachother at the same time.
Are the Zapatistas taking over Oakland? 😂🤣
