We need to prosecute and jail the criminals. And more of this community love.
Good luck with that.
WE NEED TO RETURN FAIR TAXATION. IT'S BEEN FORTY-THREE YEARS OF THE MIDDLE CLASS DISAPPEARING WHILE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS HAS GROWN. THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT $ LIKE THE WORKING POOR DO. AND WHEN SOMEONE IS DESPERATE, THEY WILL SHOPLIFT OR TRY TO GET MONEY OR THINGS THEY DON'T HAVE OR CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE. TRICKLE DOWN STARTED THIS MESS, REAGAN'S ENRICHING THE RICH TO TRUMP'S $2 TRILLION TAX CUT.
Not with the DA who thinks criminals are the victims
Thats sounds racist
Diversity not a strength
I've been a customer for 30 years. A good family runs this business. It's terrible that lazy, ignorant people destroy society for everyone, including themselves. They don't feel it because most people are good, but if if most people were like those thieves, they'd also be crime victims.
you done?

Happens at the ballot box as well. Unfortunately the residents have voted repeatedly to destroy their own communities.
Its sad because the area made such gains in the late 90's and 2000's. Fell off a cliff real fast
@@GonzoDonzo no proof of repeat voters.
I love this...but hate it when criminals continue to get away with ppl's hardworking earnings because the city's leadership does not want to pursue justice.
We need to be tough on crime. Get rid of the worthless DA
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Vote, vote, vote. Everyone keeps saying get rid of this or that guy but when its elections time y’all dont vote or keep voting for the same people.
As always for those in the back…. 99.9% in yes even in Oakland are good people. However you forgot to jail the .1% who are ruining your lives
Well done to the community!
YEA diversity
@silentmajority8365
Diversity exists within each races.
For whites you got the Czech, Russian’s, hungarians, Serbian's and so on.
They are at constant war.
Iraq war there was tons of czech fighters… like tf yall doing all the way in africa.
Good deed by the community. Just wish the local DA Pam Price would do her job and start prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law.
Price will drop the charges if the police make an arrest.
Only in your dream. It is all in you for voting for her based on her race
Pam Price is completely incompetent and inept. She is basically a female version of Chesa Boudin.
You choose diversity over safety and freedom
Price bout to Give the thief’s A Certification
World needs to be more like this
It is, stop focusing on the negative
Great people! Shame on the criminals - losers!
They voted for these people who are not prosecuting these criminals, they had the chance to recall newson and they didn’t do it either.
Criminals have no shame.
@@Jimmyxsx I agree
shame on the liberal voters.. LMAO
I’m originally from California and only have the best memories of Oakland and SanFran. So watching my heart home fall apart violently is heartbreaking because I’ve always planned to go home to retire, but now it’s not even a real option.
@kelleywyskiel3478 Im from CA, when has Oakland ever been a safe place?! Violence there is nothing new, it’s not just recently falling apart. I’ve witnessed murders there when I was a teen 25 years ago.
I'm originally from Oakland CA, and have actually been to Colonial Donuts many times as a child in the early 70s. A terrorizing family lived up the street on Trestle Glen Road, and some of the boys from there, who attended my elementary school, stole several boxes of donuts and threw them all over the sidewalk in front of the store. Another time, they robbed the store, and sat on our front porch counting the money.
I absolutely DESPISE Oakland! Soon as I turned 18, I tore out of there like a bat out of hell. It's the BEST decision I ever made!
Kelly until people decide that they want to get rid of the guns so their country will be safe nothing good is going to happen we need to outlaw guns Intel this country is willing to take a stand and tell the politicians in their state enough is enough or are you gonna let the gun nuts dictate what happens to this country I guess it boils down to what your family your kids your friends and your neighbors are Worth until that happens gun violence will increase every single day soon they will be issuing bulletproof vest in the grammar schools and in the high schools think about that
Well, you could always put your rose colored glasses back on
It's just a city with a bunch stores. They can be replaced in another city. Stop falling in love with cities
You can do this buyout once or twice to generate some publicity for what a nice group of people you are, but after the cameras go away that doesn't change the fact that the robbers are still out there and will continue to commit crimes until Oakland wise up and say enough is enough.
They can keep going, but mf will know they have even more cash to take.
What you are describing is called "virtue signalling" which woke and leftists engage in all of the time, until they become negatively affected personally. Just like the people in Chicago and NYC who thought being a designated Sanctuary City granted them sainthood. Now that busloads of illegal aliens are arriving on their doorsteps they are screaming at the sky at all of the money and resources are being drained to feed and house their "guests".
Haha now the robbers know the place is loaded
@@coryc9040perfect time for a good samaritan to stake out the place and turn those thugs into Swiss cheese
If we grouped, say, MAGA into one giant virtual city I think you would find it is jam packed full of pedos and active shooters. Every rural small town incident, attributed to one large overreaching categorization. Like "OAKLAND". This one city is bigger than your entire political party. Anything that could possibly happen in your town ever, happens three times a day in Oakland.
“There are many more good, uplifting people in this world than bad…”, exactly. So very true. Much gratitude for the people supporting this owner and shop. Much gratitude the news channel for focusing on the good. ❤
Way to go nice neighbors! 💙
Absolutely beautiful the strong community members have their back. Thank you to everybody who purchased donuts 🍩🙏✅🏆
Wow finally a good story now I want a doughnut 😂
This is very touching...Also very sad to see ppl work so hard and get robbed...This world...Sigh!
Great neighbors. Way to go🎉
Thank God!!! That there are still good people in this world. 🙏
Well said, I do think there are many good folks in this world, just that the few bunch of assholes ruin it for everyone.
The good takes care of itself, the bad needs to be found and punished.
Lock up Pamela Price
She did not rob the store.
what for?....stalker!
@danielfiore8865 When criminals know the DA is on their side, doesn't it bolster a criminal's confidence? She might not have been there to rob the store, but the message she gives isn't good for crime victims.
People don’t understand your point just shows how far we are from normal.
@@3tz71ji how much control do you expect any elected official to have over an individuals' decision making process? Are the Mayor and the DA part of a mind control experiment? Biden is in on it too? It's lunacy. Blame the shitty parents.
I used to go here almost every night after midnight 18 years ago. I knew the dad who worked there everyday. Dude made the best croissant sandwiches and fresh donuts. I couldn't believe it when robbers from SF targeted this place... but to see the community having their backs is amazing. I'm guessing his daughter has taken over, I'll miss that OG.
Good neighbors always step up to help good local businesses. They're open 24/7. That's crazy!
There is a donut shop in Seal Beach, CA where the one of the owners was diagnosed with cancer so people in the community arranged buy outs for weeks so that the the spouse could close early and be with wife during her treatments.
I love this positive story. This is news media at their finest hour.
A good deed that is shared by the community. It would help to pay without using cash. Keeps those criminals from targeting this business again.
I’m sure they will have someone bringing cash to deposit into bank frequently if not more frequently than already.
People shouldn’t have to change their habits because of some stupid dumb ass criminals wreaking havoc on communities.
They'll shoot you for not having it!
Attempts at going cashless have been met with resistance. Whataboutism - the homeless, those without bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards, etc. after all our $$ does have a saying about legal tender for debts private and public.
when theft under $1000 is decriminalized, that is literally incentivizing and supporting theft.
Why would you even bother operating a business in Oakland?
God Bless those people 🙏😊
Oakland residents do have a heart...
This gives me hope. There are good people amongst us. Thank you to the community.
Those thugs need to go to jail and get locked up for life. How amazing these neighbors were able to come together and inspire
But I hope the city goes after those thieves and most importantly get them prosecuted… yeah right!
nah......
Colonial Donuts deserved to get robbed. It's what the owners voted for.
Dems will let them out overnight
This is nice story to see ! Glad to see this much kindness!
Thank God!!! That there are still good people in this world. . Way to go nice neighbors! .
Thank you for this video. 😢 of happiness.
Glad the shop is open and selling goods ❤
beautiful to see such love and kindness.
THIS is community Spirit at its best!!!
Robbers rubbing their hands right now rubbing 😆
That's just the beginning! We are gonna do it again this weekend! And if the police don't step up we will have community watch! We are over it.
A heartwarming story here. Thanks fox to letting me know this story. From Korea.
did pamela price go too to show support?
I don't think Pamela Price is interested in what happened there.
She supports the criminals not businesses, law abiding citizens
She just tried to lift a free donut. Same for Oakland PD.
Vote these trash liberal Democrats out of office. They do nothing to support small businesses. They would rather support criminals.
were you born a stable genius or do you have to work at it ?
What a practical way to show you care!!
A donut shop robbed and not a single cop around🙄. Protecting and serving the community is not what the police is for. Glad to see the community coming together.
If you are waiting for the cops to "save" you, you are way behind the curve.
they too busy violating people’s constitutional rights
I live north by chico and every time I go to the bay I find a new place to eat in oakland... never been disappointed... I will be sure to try this place next time....
That’s so kind 😊🌸
Excellent job citizens of Oakland!!
Thank you! Love is stronger….hurt and hate is low level consciousness.
Support the community! !
✨🌎💕
The citizens of oakland are so sweet!! They refuse to put criminals in prison but atleast they help victims of crime
Great job to the Oakland Community
the city should be tough on crime and things like this would stop happening
Thank you for the good news!
I went out of my way (hell, out of my city and county) to buy donuts there. Please folks, let's support local small businesses.
Where's the hunger to arrest all the criminals that are destroying the city
GOD BLESS YOUR CUSTOMERS
more of this support for community members is what will save this country.
What a great community
Just Love it -God bless them all ♥
We need more stories like this! 🍩 ❤️🤗
So sweet! ❤❤
This is so wonderful
The robbers at home, saying we brought the community together lol
Good people coming together. Humanity is alive despite the challenges we face. Hear! Hear! Oakland. Mayor of Oakland must realize that the people are suffering. Do something for the community's peace of mind.
This is wonderful
Good they need that support by the community 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Lol, good excuse to eat a bunch of donuts. Mm. Donuts.
What everyone did to ensure all the doughnuts were bought out at Colonial Doughnuts is fantastic. I really liked what Brenda Ly reportedly did with the 4 dozen doughnuts that she purchased was really sweet (no pun intended).
This happens for a couple of days and then back to the way it was. The next news cycle happens and people will forget about this donut shop.
who knew an oakland tv news station had such a hot reporter?
That’s what it’s going to take ❤ community support
Going to Colonial Donuts Lakeshore today to support after robbery. Yum.
all the best from Phoenix.
Yay keep the good news coming! Glad for everyone except of course the thieves.
I salute all of those who did the right thing for this troubled community.
The criminals might come back now knowing they have even more money. 😂
Amazing! That man said he been coming since the 70s sir it’s been open for about 40 years.
“Donut 🍩 underestimate kindness!” 😊
Good for them! Used to make that late night time run for the local hospital!
Another show of supports is protesting/lobbying your representatives and criminal justice system on being lax on criminal convictions and sentencing. There needs to be consequences to this insanity.
The community coming together
A donut shop open 24 hours per day.
Its heartwarming to see this, but it doesnt solve anything. When you say "buyout" some people think they bought the business not the days worth of baked goods.
That’s what I thought they meant too.
Sounds like a freaking stressful workday honestly, new sales don’t reimburse a businesses losses
That donut shop looks way better than my local donut shop.🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩😊
I saw all these customers and not one freeloading cop in there to purchase a doughnut, I guess the only time they show up is when they're getting it for free.🍩👮😅😂
Probably gonna get robbed again
Born in Oakland n love y'all ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s awesome!👍
Amazing what they did.
Beautiful. Good will defeat evil.
Born and Raised in Oakland during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and Colonial Donuts was a VITAL part of my upbringing!!!!
This is so cool to do.🤩
Way To Go
It's pretty heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time to see that many good people trying to chip in while the real scums of their society are normally running away scotch-free. California administrators need to do something otherwise your cities and communities will turn into the scenes of one of those countless Escape From xxxx movies.
So what you are saying is that they are flush with cash right NOW!
its great to see the good people of california making the news california is lawless right now
Great job on the Community❤❤❤❤❤
Now if only the DA woud do their damn job.
Robbing a doughnut shop should be punishable death. I mean, is nothing sacred anymore?
Wait...did I hear that right? No contact from Oakland PD as if the airing of this story? Wth???
Love this story
There are people who help and people who destroy.
yep
I love a feel good story 🤗
