If those who are tasked with protecting and defending property and life and upholding the law are unable to or unwilling to fulfill their duty then the average citizen is not only within their rights to do it themselves but it is essential that they do so.
The cops are crying because they get bad press for summary executions, not arrested, charged, or convicted, just bad press coverage. So if you want the police to help, make it illegal for anyone to say bad things about them, and also increase their funding 500%. Then, and only then, they might think about helping you, maybe.

As a life long boater in Florida we have our share of boat thefts. But here when you call the police about a boat theft they respond pretty quick but unfortunately the types of boats stolen down here are large multi engine center console boats that smugglers use to smuggle migrants into the country and the boats are usually recovered on a beach in the Keys or Miami after a run from Mexico or the Bahamas. Some of the stolen boats down here are recovered after being stripped. But some are found before this happens. The difference is down here the police take it seriously because they know most of the big fast boats are used to smuggle people and drugs into the country so CBP is also involved. And if a thief is caught, they are prosecuted, not sent home with a slap on the wrist and a lollipop like in ultra liberal California where the actual criminal is considered a "victim of society" and the real victim is called a "rich white racist" especially when they own a nice boat. This is why so many people are fleeing California and moving to Florida.
I first heard about this issue over six months ago. What people don't realize yet is what you just described about Florida is now happening in California. I'm sure that due to the nature of the crime federal agencies like Coast Guard, DEA etc. will get up to speed eventually and fight back. Oakland police can't fight it alone.
I have had a boat at my marina which is on Lake Erie for 25 + years and in all that time I have never once had anything stolen from my boat, or my dock box which is closed but not locked. The marina has roughly 400 boats docked there and I cannot recall anyone ever having an issue with theft of any kind. I really don't know how people can live in these areas with such crime. It is really sad what is happening in the Country.
Several of these boat pirates live in the water on 3 crappy boats docked at the sunken docks next to the parking lot at 2300 Embarcaero, just southeast of coast guard island. Their boats are not at a legal dock, & they can be identified by the way the boats are packed to the gill with trash, like a hoarders house. 1 of they guys goes by the street name "just because". They are just north of park street Bridge.
Oh, ok, they mentioned the boat was found at union point park. That is the place I was pointing to. They are active in the evenings & at night. & what ur hearing from that area fireworks people light in the parking lot. Not gunfire. Boaters should leave some bait for them to swipe, like a dead laptop with a hidden airtag inside to track its location. The second it moves, report it stolen online so u have a case #. Gather ur GPS evidence & get the police to respond. Make sure u do it on a slow evening, like a Tuesday. They need to be in possession of the stolen item. & record the entire thing so any threats these people make can be used to add additional charges. Be safe.

Let's start with the insurance company calling his boat a total loss....wtf??? That's a bold lie, no it's not a total loss. That's why pirates have a business, because people are throwing away money...
As someone who lives in Oakland, I find this terrifying. The productive tax-paying citizens will leave and in fact are leaving, so the police force will only shrink further and become more helpless. I know for a fact that many crimes are never reported to the police, because why bother? So the stats you read for Oakland crime understate the problem. My wife and I both have businesses here that are not easy to move, so I feel a bit stuck, and I'm getting tired sleeping with one eye open. What does the future hold for this place?
I believe that some powerful people made a plan to drive many people out of the Town. I believe that the value of the land is at issue. When enough people leave and more land becomes available (in the hands of these powerful people) you will see a change in the way that these issues are dealt with. This may go on for another 5 or 10 years, maybe longer. Just my thoughts. This is not random circumstance.
@babyblueLEGEND Absolutely spot on as a well read Ca resident. Same thing with the unrest a few summers ago and property values. Just a coincidence right?
when the vigilanteeism starts it won’t take long for the message to get relayed , what are the cops going to do when 50 people just show up instantly and start slinging lead
Used to live aboard in California. Now I’m in Brazil and I can’t believe how much more peaceful the waterfront is here. Nobody even locks the outboard motors on their dinghies. Surreal.
So we’re calling them pirates now? The title of pirate has a bit of nobility attached to it, these are just plain old Oakland criminals. Call them what you want, the DA won’t prosecute them anyway….
Especially if it happens to be a white person being attacked, and the "pirate" is black, they'll come after the victim with fanatical zeal, determined to put the victim in jail for whatever "crime" they can invent, and meanwhile, the pirate walks away with probation and community service. I truly feel sorry for these people in Oakland.
What in the actual F is happening in California!!?? I used to dream of moving to CALIFORNIA growing up....but now I cannot imagine stepping foot there. insane.

I used to live in Old Town Oakland and could see the main cop shop from the rooftop of our apartment building. Once called the cops because two gangs were shooting at one another three blocks away from the main police HQ. Cops showed up 70 minutes later. Because live gunfire is dangerous, right?
Watching CA cops has been a laugh riot for decades. They are straight out of a Keystone comedy. Watching them chase OJ at 40mph for hours really set the modern day trend. Watching 20 of them hide behind their cars in LA yesterday while a civilian stopped a baboon with his truck was the latest example. They continued to hide while the monkey hung upside down outside of his car. I have never seen such a cowardly display but such a large group of so called "law enforcement". At this point they are a running joke and have been for quite some time.
They need to get an attorney to file charges against the city, if that's even possible. Attorneys will make sure their voices are heard. This is so sad!
That case might get settled years from now. What they need now is to just take care of business and have daily excursions out to about 40 miles off the coast to get rid of their problems. Playing nice isn't going to fix this.
the attorneys will get rich and nothing will be done ...and the people will be out of pocket because lawyers do not work for free ...where is the SPLC or the ACLU ??? not fighting foe anybodies rights are they ...except criminals ..they will work for free for criminals
@@bruceeide4359 I don't care for attorneys though my daughter is in law school to become one.

This story is so sad. If OPD had 20 boats, they still wouldn't come out to stop anyone. It's not dept policy. And these aren't PIRATES. DAMN! They're dope fiends , thieves, and dumb asses. If you want these people stopped, use common sense. You're not dealing with Stanford physics program graduates. And there's so few people actually anchored out in the estuary, it shouldn't be hard to figure out who it is. Fyi, I'm an anchor out myself. And have been for about a year off and on. I work, don't use, and clean up after everyone out here, including some of the people I the marinas that don't give a shit. And btw, the last slip I had here, last year, I caught the "pirate" responsable for numerous thefts, including things off my boat. And this "pirate" came from a boat he had at a slip in the very same marina. Just saying.

Do you best to move away, I promise you that a higher quality of life is out there.
@@JB-ou8kp Conservative votes don’t matter in California. So, Enjoy your fucked up State! I’ll stay where my kids are safe, taxes won’t break you, things aren’t on fire, and the residents actually take pride in their community!
That's why you need to get out of the "defend" mentality, and when you see them pirating, you switch from defending to "attacking". Stop calling the police and take care of these matters yourself. YOU'RE ON THE OCEAN. MAKE THEM "DISAPPEAR".
But, don’t let anyone see you do it and DO NOT talk about your justified vengeance with anyone. Like the old saying goes, “Dead men tell no tales”. The police don’t want to enforce the law and keep the peace vigilantism will be the result. Don’t get caught.
One office in Oakland on the water!?! Live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We have Ft. Lauderdale PD boats, Broward Sheriff boats, FWC Boats, Cost Guard & Port Authorities in this area.
At my 70 years, still working five days a week, residing further to the east, I know of solutions to these scenarios, even solutions to preempt experiencing these scenarios. Perhaps, old men like myself will have to cleanse the government promoted mayhem, chaos, property destruction and theft, and general civil disorder.
One of the favored tricks of communists is to trot out the anarchists, because they desperately need the false contrast in order to claim "law & order" party status. In the case of American communists, they could't find enough anarchists to roll out, so they quit enforcing the law just enough...that low level riot psychology took over in newsworthy cities. The pilot for this was perhaps Ferguson, with Holder threatening federal review if the city dared restore order and protect property. It didn't go as well as hoped, despite a series of coaching sessions for the Obama administration hosted by al sharpton on how to work up a street mob with little or no cause in hand.
In the heart of the ocean they sailed, A band of thieves, ruthless and veiled. But fate had a plan, For this treacherous clan, Their ship and their hopes were impaled. With plunder and loot they'd grown fat, But their deeds caught the Reaper's eye, that's a fact. He summoned a storm, With a fearsome, dark form, And sent them to the briny depths, just like that! Now their ghostly ship haunts the sea, A warning to all who dare to steal free. Dead thieves on the roam, In the watery home, A limerick of piracy's destiny! Down with the lot of'em.
If the police tell you they need a formal police report, how much brain power does it take to get off your ass and go to the police station and make said report? It takes less than a couple of hours for a report to be made and entered in the state and federal databases. Besides, the report should have been made as soon as the owner saw the boat was stolen. How about getting in your car with your documentation that shows you own the boat and meeting the local police at the location of the boat. Then, they could take action.
The interesting part of this is that in Red States if someone steals our stuff and we find it, we kindly invite the thieves to stay until the Police arrive. And they ALWAYS wait.
@@Damon-rw7wvyeah bud thats fine and it works pretty darn well in the near term and in the long term when/ if they get out they will just head to your liberal azz neck of the woods to go wild because the consequences aren't near as severe and the citizens have alot less empowerment to defend themselves... so its actually a win win but im pretty sure you already know that and see it with your own eyes every day!
. No you have it all wrong. We call the police, in my area the sheriff's deputy to come do the paperwork and call EMS to remove the bodies. Why waste public money on locking them up??
As long as the cops do nothing, the criminals will continue to do what they want. If police won't do anything, it is up to owners to eliminate the criminals. I wonder who is giving police these orders... I suspect it's the same organization that ordered police in Maui to block roads to and from the fire areas.
Vote the politicians and the DA out of office. You don't have to vote Republican but you do need to vote for politicians and for a DA who will fix these problems.
Yeah....just keep voting for the same democrat policies and hope for a different outcome. Democrats voted for this soft on crime so voting for them again will not change anything,
Stop voting for Democrats! I voted Democrat for many years then I grew up, got a job, had a family and realized how nonsensical their liberal idealism is. We need practical solutions not activist DAs, people who hate the police, and politicians who just can't stop spending other people's tax dollars.
@@robertcovino4889 I know exactly what you mean. There are no Democrats who are willing to fund the police fully, enforce the laws and prosecute criminals. BTW, it does no good to have police that arrest someone for a crime, but are not permitted to actually prosecute them in court if the DA will not prosecute and lets them back on the street. If these people who steal boats are not prosecuted, then why would they NOT steal?
Classic Oakland...you are on your own here, and laws are not enforced w/ criminals, but if you are a tax payers with means, I would be very careful opening fire. Make sure you know the laws, because you could be charged yourself. Oakland is a failed city.
To be fair, if you're on a boat with a few spare 20 lb weights and easy access to the ocean, who's going to say those gunshots weren't an accidental discharge at nothing? Certainly nobody in the boat when you get back to the dock. If the cops won't show up for a homeowner they're unlikely to show up for some crackhead that says his buddy went missing when he went to rob a boat and there was some gunfire.
I'm doubtful the criminals are the people living on their boats outside the harbor. Those people tend to just want to be left alone. These are more likely the same criminals doing the same thing on land, they've just found a new set of victims.
The Somalia Pirate Syndrome: You take away their wage, then their shelter, then their source of food, and ultimately their ability to survive... They will obviously turn to desperate measures. Wouldn't you?? Would you just lay down and starve, or would you act??
Misfeasance and malfeasance of duty as far as the police dept. A Lawyer can have a good time with that. As far as the pirates boarding a boat , Samuel Colt and John Browning are great deterents. The Smith & Wesson boy's are also quite good at protecting property.
No, the solution you speak of robs the other pirates of hearing the stories and seeing the evidence from their associates who’s fingers have been removed via blunt trauma
Oakland cops are notorious for not responding to calls. This is their political answer to “defund the police”. Strangely, their attitude makes you wonder if that’s not a bad idea. But calling thieves and vandals pirates is too kind.
I used to love to visit the Bay area. From the Mid-West, it was such a nice change. These days I have little desire to set foot in the State. Crazy and dangerous is enough for me.
I’ve lived all over California, in urban and rural areas. It’s not the entire state but the Bay Area is by far the worst I’ve experienced in terms of crime and that’s what makes the news.
70 Years ago it was, "Hang Pirates, Shoot Looters", no more, it is unlawful to protect your property and lives. If the government law does not threaten Execution, aka Capital Punishment, they what right does the individual have to do it?
Same thing almost happened to me but I was sleeping in my boat that night and I shot all 3 perps. I love the Hornady Critical Defense rounds. One shot - one kill. Well worth the price!
Everybody knows our government has an open border attitude . Maybe it's good some of the residents other than the southern ones are feeling the effect.
The police may not show up when pirates steal your boats, but they'll be there in a flash if you shoot someone stealing your boats.

It's beyond ridiculous. The ultra woke "progressive justice" fanatics are destroying yet another area, with the exact same results as where this has been applied in other areas and cities.
Actually, the kips in Cali murder people on a continual basis…because it’s much more fun than protecting property ( well, the property of average citizens anyway).
Salute to the guys fighting off those pirates and standing their ground..
@@JamaliusTryonius don't worry. There's no need to apologize. Everyone is accountable only for his/her own's actions. The collective responsibility concept, is wrong, vicious and against millennia of good laws

How the F does a city the size of Oakland only have 1 cop who knows how to operate a boat?
I know.....
Mismanagement of funds and liberals don't think we need police. The criminals are victims of a bad system, they say.
Regulations my friend, regulations...
He's probably the only one who know how to swim.
What do you expect in a third world country? 1 is an accomplishment for these primitive places.
Let's start with the insurance company calling his boat a total loss....wtf??? That's a bold lie, no it's not a total loss. That's why pirates have a business, because people are throwing away money...
Police: Should have filed that report as soon as it was stolen.
As someone who lives in Oakland, I find this terrifying. The productive tax-paying citizens will leave and in fact are leaving, so the police force will only shrink further and become more helpless. I know for a fact that many crimes are never reported to the police, because why bother? So the stats you read for Oakland crime understate the problem. My wife and I both have businesses here that are not easy to move, so I feel a bit stuck, and I'm getting tired sleeping with one eye open. What does the future hold for this place?
I believe that some powerful people made a plan to drive many people out of the Town. I believe that the value of the land is at issue. When enough people leave and more land becomes available (in the hands of these powerful people) you will see a change in the way that these issues are dealt with. This may go on for another 5 or 10 years, maybe longer. Just my thoughts. This is not random circumstance.
This is what liberalism gets you. Stop voting with your heart and vote with your mind.
Not much.
Immigration and Democrat policies will be California's undoing.
But the people voted for it.
@babyblueLEGEND
Absolutely spot on as a well read Ca resident.
Same thing with the unrest a few summers ago and property values. Just a coincidence right?
Vote Democrat
when the vigilanteeism starts it won’t take long for the message to get relayed , what are the cops going to do when 50 people just show up instantly and start slinging lead
you say vigilantism as if it's a bad thing....
@@ryanbarker5217 if i have to join in on the fun, i will
They will spend years tracking all 50 people down and prosecute them for murder while giving the criminals free food and drugs.
You are more likely to be arrested for defending yourself than your criminal attacker
In that shithole state, absolutely... A ciminal has more rights than a victim over there
Can confirm
That's how it is in CA, IL and NY.
Call the coastguard, That boat should be protected under maritime law if it’s on navigable coastal waters.
Used to live aboard in California. Now I’m in Brazil and I can’t believe how much more peaceful the waterfront is here. Nobody even locks the outboard motors on their dinghies. Surreal.
So we’re calling them pirates now? The title of pirate has a bit of nobility attached to it, these are just plain old Oakland criminals.
Call them what you want, the DA won’t prosecute them anyway….
Don't take this from me. It's a childhood dream of mine...
@@lonebikeroftheapocalypse9527 Once a year…aye?
well said!
Yep looks like the same gangs shoplifting at all of our stores.
Pirates were never "nobility" freaking moron. They were always scumbags and criminals.
The downward spiral accelerates.
New Lows write 😅 and Hypodermic 😮 and Booze 🥃 and Bleach and Rock n Roll 😂
United States of Spain :(
Lawless States of America
If these boat owners take matters into their own hands... the twisted minds at city hall will label them criminals.
Especially if it happens to be a white person being attacked, and the "pirate" is black, they'll come after the victim with fanatical zeal, determined to put the victim in jail for whatever "crime" they can invent, and meanwhile, the pirate walks away with probation and community service. I truly feel sorry for these people in Oakland.
Silly news people - these aren't mere pirates they are the Oakland Raiders!
The Pirates are from Pittsburg.
What in the actual F is happening in California!!??
I used to dream of moving to CALIFORNIA growing up....but now I cannot imagine stepping foot there. insane.
Just when you thought Oakland couldn’t get no worse you got muthafuckin jack sparrow contributing to the activity
That be JAMAL Sparrow.
Captain Jamal Sparrow, bitches.
I’m so sorry. This is horrible. Why is this allowed to happen???? Shame on our government, and police department.
Why? Because the truth hurts, and ignorance is bliss!🙊🙉🙈
Because liberals vote for liberal politicians who don't want to prosecute crimes like this!
Start taking responsibility for your own idealist, liberal, socialistic thoughts & ideas ! This is what happens to you. Just remember, if and when you move, leave your liberal mindset behind ! Have enough smarts to realize those beliefs are the reason you had to leave ! Just the FACTS ! KARMA BABY ! Enjoy it !
Your words mean nothing. Bullets are a much more effective means of communication.

What a great moniker. Oakland Police, "we tend to work with what we got"
When you're hot, you're hot.
When you're not, you're not.
Put that on the patrol cars 😆
So glad to see California getting what they voted for 👍
THey love this, who are you kidding?
As an outsider looking in all I wonder is how Oakland is still a place.
I used to live in Old Town Oakland and could see the main cop shop from the rooftop of our apartment building.
Once called the cops because two gangs were shooting at one another three blocks away from the main police HQ.
Cops showed up 70 minutes later. Because live gunfire is dangerous, right?
Aren’t guns illegal there? Your politicians keep telling us how their “common sense” gun laws are so effective. I’m surprised this happened.
Watching CA cops has been a laugh riot for decades. They are straight out of a Keystone comedy. Watching them chase OJ at 40mph for hours really set the modern day trend. Watching 20 of them hide behind their cars in LA yesterday while a civilian stopped a baboon with his truck was the latest example. They continued to hide while the monkey hung upside down outside of his car. I have never seen such a cowardly display but such a large group of so called "law enforcement". At this point they are a running joke and have been for quite some time.
They need to get an attorney to file charges against the city, if that's even possible. Attorneys will make sure their voices are heard. This is so sad!
That case might get settled years from now. What they need now is to just take care of business and have daily excursions out to about 40 miles off the coast to get rid of their problems. Playing nice isn't going to fix this.
Suing gov does nothing but put $ into pockets of lawyers.
the attorneys will get rich and nothing will be done ...and the people will be out of pocket because lawyers do not work for free ...where is the SPLC or the ACLU ??? not fighting foe anybodies rights are they ...except criminals ..they will work for free for criminals
Attorneys are THE REASON why the place has gone to Hell. Get real.. and Get Ready!!
@@bruceeide4359 I don't care for attorneys though my daughter is in law school to become one. I feel like attorneys force the issue and frankly sailing is a very expensive hobby and it won't be long before insurance companies begin legalities to reclaim monies due. You have to fight snakes using snakes!!
This story is so sad. If OPD had 20 boats, they still wouldn't come out to stop anyone. It's not dept policy. And these aren't PIRATES. DAMN! They're dope fiends , thieves, and dumb asses. If you want these people stopped, use common sense. You're not dealing with Stanford physics program graduates. And there's so few people actually anchored out in the estuary, it shouldn't be hard to figure out who it is. Fyi, I'm an anchor out myself. And have been for about a year off and on. I work, don't use, and clean up after everyone out here, including some of the people I the marinas that don't give a shit. And btw, the last slip I had here, last year, I caught the "pirate" responsable for numerous thefts, including things off my boat. And this "pirate" came from a boat he had at a slip in the very same marina. Just saying.
You voted for this so what's the problem?
@@petebusch9069at least he is trying to be helpful, your comment is just plain ole virtue signaling…not helpful
@pinchebruha405 YT commenters love virtue signaling with that same exact comment. They know nothing of the person they are talking to, but it makes them feel better about themselves.

@@VideoViewer33512 Y' all vote for all the moronic policies including defunding police. So why complain when y' all got what y' all voted for. House the pirates too, and pay 'em reparations too. Then complain about it later, lmao.
On some level maritime law regarding piracy should be applied here.
The news guy sure looks like he's wearing a rug.
how hard would it be for marina group to grab the pirates and give a boat ride out 10 miles in the ocean and let them swim back?
I’ve moved to a “free state” and keep tabs on the hilarity of the lawlessness of California. The stuff I used to accept as a reality is now pure comedy. Pirates steaming boats, homeless setting fire to parks, roads that tear up your cars, endless traffic, tax dollars going down the toilet… I feel bad for all of you honest taxpayers still stuck in that dumpster fire. Do you best to move away, I promise you that a higher quality of life is out there.
stay there until you learn how to vote.
@@JB-ou8kp Conservative votes don’t matter in California. So, Enjoy your fucked up State! I’ll stay where my kids are safe, taxes won’t break you, things aren’t on fire, and the residents actually take pride in their community!
That's why you need to get out of the "defend" mentality, and when you see them pirating, you switch from defending to "attacking". Stop calling the police and take care of these matters yourself. YOU'RE ON THE OCEAN. MAKE THEM "DISAPPEAR".
Exactly!! Make em fish food!
But, don’t let anyone see you do it and DO NOT talk about your justified vengeance with anyone. Like the old saying goes, “Dead men tell no tales”. The police don’t want to enforce the law and keep the peace vigilantism will be the result. Don’t get caught.
One office in Oakland on the water!?! Live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We have Ft. Lauderdale PD boats, Broward Sheriff boats, FWC Boats, Cost Guard & Port Authorities in this area.
They knew there were guns in his yacht. Sounds like it was someone he knew.
i have a feeling that the local fish, and fellow aquatic creatures, are soon going to receive an "all you can eat" buffet!
they could provide a valuable service to those inland.
This is the true Green New Deal 🤭🤣😅
Yes, let the criminals "sleep with the fishes".
At my 70 years, still working five days a week, residing further to the east, I know of solutions to these scenarios, even solutions to preempt experiencing these scenarios. Perhaps, old men like myself will have to cleanse the government promoted mayhem, chaos, property destruction and theft, and general civil disorder.
We need men like you
One of the favored tricks of communists is to trot out the anarchists, because they desperately need the false contrast in order to claim "law & order" party status. In the case of American communists, they could't find enough anarchists to roll out, so they quit enforcing the law just enough...that low level riot psychology took over in newsworthy cities. The pilot for this was perhaps Ferguson, with Holder threatening federal review if the city dared restore order and protect property. It didn't go as well as hoped, despite a series of coaching sessions for the Obama administration hosted by al sharpton on how to work up a street mob with little or no cause in hand.
We fled Criminalfornia for a small town and well like that song plays out, that won't happen here.
You are 70 and still working 5 days a week means you must not be so bright, yet you want to save society...yea right.. keep dreamin
In the heart of the ocean they sailed,
A band of thieves, ruthless and veiled.
But fate had a plan,
For this treacherous clan,
Their ship and their hopes were impaled.
With plunder and loot they'd grown fat,
But their deeds caught the Reaper's eye, that's a fact.
He summoned a storm,
With a fearsome, dark form,
And sent them to the briny depths, just like that!
Now their ghostly ship haunts the sea,
A warning to all who dare to steal free.
Dead thieves on the roam,
In the watery home,
A limerick of piracy's destiny!
Down with the lot of'em.
Left there in the 70's before it became the cesspool it is today.
If the police tell you they need a formal police report, how much brain power does it take to get off your ass and go to the police station and make said report? It takes less than a couple of hours for a report to be made and entered in the state and federal databases. Besides, the report should have been made as soon as the owner saw the boat was stolen.
How about getting in your car with your documentation that shows you own the boat and meeting the local police at the location of the boat. Then, they could take action.
The interesting part of this is that in Red States if someone steals our stuff and we find it, we kindly invite the thieves to stay until the Police arrive. And they ALWAYS wait.
So you can't handle it yourself you say? You need the police to come help you. Sending then to prison to be better criminals is your solution. I see.
@@Damon-rw7wvyeah bud thats fine and it works pretty darn well in the near term and in the long term when/ if they get out they will just head to your liberal azz neck of the woods to go wild because the consequences aren't near as severe and the citizens have alot less empowerment to defend themselves... so its actually a win win but im pretty sure you already know that and see it with your own eyes every day!
. No you have it all wrong. We call the police, in my area the sheriff's deputy to come do the paperwork and call EMS to remove the bodies.
Why waste public money on locking them up??
The only time pirates should come to town is to play the Giants.
@@mdemartile But Oakland has raiders again.
And this is the reason people don’t call the cops anymore, they’re absolutely worthless and never there when you actually need them.
Yes, a large, armed militia of vigilantes would be more effective than calling the police.
No, thats what happens when you defund your police department. They don't have enough personnel left to send to every call.
There not allowed to do anything so why show up what so they can be called racist and possibly be on trial themselves
I legit thought this was going to be an other story about stolen packages, but no.....actual honest-to-god pirates of ships.
No mention of what the pirates look like?.... Why would I expect anything else.
If the public sees their pictures, there is the chance people will try to rob them because they know they have the loot.
When crime runs rapid, and the police abandon you, this sounds like a job for the Kenosha kid.
I love how the news just tells the criminals how incapable the police are to stopping them. Inviting said criminals to continue on with their fuckery.
I'm sure the criminals have long been aware of this.
As long as the cops do nothing, the criminals will continue to do what they want. If police won't do anything, it is up to owners to eliminate the criminals. I wonder who is giving police these orders... I suspect it's the same organization that ordered police in Maui to block roads to and from the fire areas.
Vote the politicians and the DA out of office.
You don't have to vote Republican but you do need to vote for politicians and for a DA who will fix these problems.
Yeah....just keep voting for the same democrat policies and hope for a different outcome. Democrats voted for this soft on crime so voting for them again will not change anything,
What politician in California is going to do anything about this???
So vote for no one then 🤷🏻♂️
Stop voting for Democrats! I voted Democrat for many years then I grew up, got a job, had a family and realized how nonsensical their liberal idealism is. We need practical solutions not activist DAs, people who hate the police, and politicians who just can't stop spending other people's tax dollars.
@@robertcovino4889 I know exactly what you mean. There are no Democrats who are willing to fund the police fully, enforce the laws and prosecute criminals. BTW, it does no good to have police that arrest someone for a crime, but are not permitted to actually prosecute them in court if the DA will not prosecute and lets them back on the street. If these people who steal boats are not prosecuted, then why would they NOT steal?
At this point the cops are just standing in the way of justice.
If you complained about mean tweets wanted to defund the police, I’m deaf to your insanity
It looks like preparing for crime should be a priority over preparing for an earth quake.
They are not a real right bunch in CA. Things there are the way they are for a reason.
Classic Oakland...you are on your own here, and laws are not enforced w/ criminals, but if you are a tax payers with means, I would be very careful opening fire. Make sure you know the laws, because you could be charged yourself. Oakland is a failed city.
To be fair, if you're on a boat with a few spare 20 lb weights and easy access to the ocean, who's going to say those gunshots weren't an accidental discharge at nothing? Certainly nobody in the boat when you get back to the dock.
If the cops won't show up for a homeowner they're unlikely to show up for some crackhead that says his buddy went missing when he went to rob a boat and there was some gunfire.
I'm doubtful the criminals are the people living on their boats outside the harbor. Those people tend to just want to be left alone. These are more likely the same criminals doing the same thing on land, they've just found a new set of victims.
Adds new meaning to Oakland Raiders
If the marina cant protect the boats and property the people will leave and the marina will close.
Just a total collapse of Oakland.
Private militias are going to have to start doing what the police, paid by taxes, can’t do.
They were just trying to see if they could find and steal a loaf of bread to feed their children
Hey now AOC, stop wasting time on YT and get back to grifting taxpayers
The Somalia Pirate Syndrome: You take away their wage, then their shelter, then their source of food, and ultimately their ability to survive... They will obviously turn to desperate measures. Wouldn't you?? Would you just lay down and starve, or would you act??
Wow, what a shame, the authorities and justice system in California!
Misfeasance and malfeasance of duty as far as the police dept. A Lawyer can have a good time with that. As far as the pirates boarding a boat , Samuel Colt and John Browning are great deterents. The Smith & Wesson boy's are also quite good at protecting property.
No, the solution you speak of robs the other pirates of hearing the stories and seeing the evidence from their associates who’s fingers have been removed via blunt trauma
Thanks Oakland Police Dept.....great job protecting CRIMINALS!!! Thanks Mayor of Oakland !!!
Oakland cops are notorious for not responding to calls. This is their political answer to “defund the police”. Strangely, their attitude makes you wonder if that’s not a bad idea. But calling thieves and vandals pirates is too kind.
Are there piracy laws that can be applied here?
Bullets stop thieves. Every. Fucking. Time.
Calling thieves and vandals "targets" would be more to most people's liking.
I used to love to visit the Bay area. From the Mid-West, it was such a nice change. These days I have little desire to set foot in the State. Crazy and dangerous is enough for me.
How long before insurance companies stop insuring these boats?
Yesterday.
Six feet of rope and a couple of cinderblocks will fix your pirate problem, eh?
Same story throughout the entire State of California. Why would anybody ever live in California
I’ve lived all over California, in urban and rural areas. It’s not the entire state but the Bay Area is by far the worst I’ve experienced in terms of crime and that’s what makes the news.
Sunsets over the Pacific Ocean
🤔.....hmmm...and to think of all those years they were called Oakland Raiders...with a pirate flag...irony is a cruel taskmaster...
Remember how we used to hang pirates at the entrance to the harbor, yeah let's bring that back
It is very exciting to watch the bay area self-destruct. I can barely wait until the next episode.
vigilante justice is gonna come back against these criminals and im all here for it
And the Mayor says everything is fine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
70 Years ago it was, "Hang Pirates, Shoot Looters", no more, it is unlawful to protect your property and lives. If the government law does not threaten Execution, aka Capital Punishment, they what right does the individual have to do it?
We've had the same experience with police and sheriffs in our area. No reason to call them they do NOTHING!
I wish the people all the best !!! But unfortunately I see the city or state making it harder to defend one’s property!!!
Elections have consequences.. definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results
Where's the Coast Guard?
They are not going to be BOTHERED 😅
They'll say it's a civil thing and not they're problem. They're to busy escorting dope runners into safe places to unload. Lots of money in that.
Right nearby where these incidents have occurred.
It’s Oaklands problem not the feds
Thank you for donating 3 guns to the local criminal element.
In Texas we deal with this ourselves with shovels
Boaters remember salt water leaves no finger prints. 😊
It almost sounds like you're surprised by this. You remove any and all laws, don't prosecute anything, and are shocked when you're robbed? lol
What ever happened to the police “serving and protecting”?
Bwahahahahahahahahaha
Answer: "DEfUnD ThE PoLiCE" Ppl don't have nothing else to blame but themselves.

3:29 The irony of the new navy ship in the background, while talking about how the residents have no one coming to the rescue...
Like a famous vice president from CA said: elections have consequences.... And Californians are living with such consequences.
Everybody knows our government has an open border attitude . Maybe it's good some of the residents other than the southern ones are feeling the effect.
