Enjoy the Decline: Roaming Gangs in the Bay Area

 The Daily Mail reports: "Nightmarish video shows HUGE swarm of masked burglars roaming Bay Area street at 2am and breaking into cars: Victim woken up by crime was too scared to confront them". 

    A Ring doorbell captures terrifying scenes in the Californian city of Antioch, as a gang of at least eight masked people ransacked parked cars in the middle of the night, plundering whatever they could find.

    Residents said they were woken by the commotion at 2am on July 6, but were too frightened to confront the gang.

    'When I see them I didn't know what was happening. I was like, 'I hope they don't try to go through the garage,'' said Mike Allen, whose car was among those broken in to.

    He told KRON 4: 'I was like, 'I am not going out there by myself.' It was about 10 of them.'

    The area is generally a quiet one, spared the serious crime seen elsewhere in the troubled Bay Area. But the sheer size of this crime gang stunned local cops.  

Police arrived within 5 minutes of being called, but the criminals were already gone by that time. The article continues:

    Antioch is 45 miles inland from San Francisco - a city which is seeing soaring theft. It sits within Costa Contra District Attorney's jurisdiction. DA Diana Becton's election campaign was handed $1 million by billionaire George Soros, who's known for backing progressive prosecutors who critics say are soft on crime. 

    Last week reports emerged of a gang of teenagers in ski masks attacking mothers and nannies in broad daylight in one of San Francisco's wealthiest neighborhoods, and stealing their cell phones.

    The group is believed to be behind 11 thefts in one week at the end of June said Thomas Harvey, captain of the San Francisco Police Department's Mission District police station.

    The attacks are mainly in the Noe Valley area of the city, where the average house is valued at $1.7 million.

    One suspect has been arrested, and police are hunting for the others, as robberies city-wide surge 11.9 percent, year on year.

 Maybe Biden can erect a national monument to honor these teens.
