will it be a self-fulfilling prophecy?

my friend's live 3 blocks from there. i told them to stay at our house when the verdict hits (or to figure out where they want to loot first [probably jamba juice])

there was supposed to be a downtown circuit rice for bicycles on monday but the event promoter was forced to move it to..... MERCED because the po-po said hell naw.

and tasers that fire bullets too apparently! :-(

from Chip Johnson's column:"If violence occurs, like before, it will also be the story of outside anarchists from our neighboring professional protester incubation cities."
― bearotaurdo montalban (sarahel), Friday, 2 July 2010 21:31 (fifteen years ago)
I hope all the violence makes it easier for me to find a new apartment.

lol - had guilty thought that maybe if things get really fucked up, i'll finally be able to afford a house

friend who lives in fruitvale (a few blocks from the bart station where this went down) posted a ton of photos around his neighborhood where all the businesses boarded up their windows
― jaxon, Friday, 2 July 2010 21:58 (fifteen years ago)
one of my BFF's moved out of 94110 (20th & Mission) in 1991 because his landlord raised his 1BD apt rent from $150 to $175. He said fuck that and moved in to the BlackJack Records hq off 14th & MLK in post-earthquake Oakland for $125 for the master bed and master bath top story of a 3 floor house. ye good olde days.

last night heard that 2bd are 2800 in oakland now
― jaxon, Saturday, 3 July 2010 00:27 (fifteen years ago)
depends on the neighborhood - i pay $940 for a 2bd
― sarahel, Saturday, 3 July 2010 00:36 (fifteen years ago)
I might move to Oakland one day. It's the secret best city in America imo
― Salted gnocchimole (admrl), Saturday, 3 July 2010 00:42 (fifteen years ago)
I agree that it's definitely one of the top 2 cities in the east bay.

pretty glad we just moved to el cerrito, tbh. been dreading this trial and its verdict for awhile now (we were living right by lake merritt).
― just1n3, Saturday, 3 July 2010 01:44 (fifteen years ago)
ok, i'll bite... what's the other? EC?

― iatee, Saturday, 3 July 2010 03:27 (fifteen years ago)
ha I was about to make the exact same joke
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Saturday, 3 July 2010 04:38 (fifteen years ago)
san leandro vs san lorenzo shootout!
after 15 years of not living adjacent to these two (I used to live in Hayward) I can't remember the difference between them.
― akm, Saturday, 3 July 2010 14:32 (fifteen years ago)
san lorenzo is smaller. san leandro has a bunch of car dealerships, and a mall visible from the freeway with a blindingly bright billboard
― sarahel, Saturday, 3 July 2010 17:53 (fifteen years ago)
San Leandro has a proper downtown. San Lorenzo is actually a 'district', not its own municipality at all. And then there's unincorporated Hayward....
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Saturday, 3 July 2010 17:53 (fifteen years ago)
Hayward has a drive thru liquor store
― sarahel, Saturday, 3 July 2010 18:02 (fifteen years ago)
no verdict today: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/06/BAIC1EA4LC.DTL

i pay $1400 for 2br @ lake merritt. I have to say that everyday I am in oakland, I like it more. yes, I will probably move back to city at some point, but there's a lot here that makes it hard to leave (esp around lake area)
― Dominique, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:09 (fifteen years ago)
there's a Specialty's bakery now in an office tower near Harrison and Grand - was very excited to discover this the other day
― sarahel, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:11 (fifteen years ago)
yeah they did a demo for my office when they first moved in! cookies are TITE
― 69, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:14 (fifteen years ago)
i smelled the cookies while i was walking to work one day last week - also the Rocky Road brownies
― sarahel, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:15 (fifteen years ago)
zmg, a chain restaurant!
just kidding 510ers, there are actually some great local, non-chains if you poke around.

Oh really, Steve, do tell?

Mehserle verdict today.
― sarahel, Thursday, 8 July 2010 22:11 (fifteen years ago)
...the very day I am off to Sequoia N.P. Good luck Oakland.

Perhaps I will stay in tonight.

my "inside" sources (ie folks working for the city who have received advance notice of the verdict) say there will be no riot. wouldn't say what the verdict was tho

really no surprise at all
― just1n3, Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:19 (fifteen years ago)

Watching the ABC news feed and just saw Frank Chiu.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:28 (fifteen years ago)
he goes where the action is
― Master of the Manly Ballad (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:37 (fifteen years ago)
seriously, he follows the camera crews around
I love him so much.

eh I think the riot fears are a little overblown tbh
― Master of the Manly Ballad (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 8 July 2010 23:42 (fifteen years ago)
Prosecutors in Los Angeles have not won a murder conviction in a police shooting case since 1983!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
