Oakland, California has been turned into a third-world country thanks to the politics of the Democrat Party.
The city is completely controlled by pro-criminal, defund-the-police leftists. And now homeowners and small business owners are left to pick up the pieces.
Sam Mardaie owns a 76 station near the San Francisco International Airport.
A mob of nearly 100 looters ransacked his gas station – they grabbed everything they could get their hands on. By the time they finished – there was nothing left.
“Shelves were ripped apart, all the grocery items were torn or stepped on or vandalized,” Mardaie told the outlet.
Two employees called 911 for help – but it took nine hours for police to arrive at the crime scene. Nine hours.
The store is located in the same area where an In-N-Out once sold burgers. But they shut down earlier this year because of out-of-control crime.
“It’s very disheartening, I’m scared to go out after dark and I don’t know it’s just alarming,” customer Ebony Bolton told KTVU.
Mr. Mardaie told CBS News that he came to America from Yemen. He said even though his native land is a third world country – they don’t have lawlessness like they have in Oakland.
“This is the hardest thing you could ever go through…especially if you’ve been put in sweat and tears day in and day out,” the store owner said.
And this is why every law-abiding American should engage their Second Amendment rights — especially business owners in Oakland.
