OLD AND BUSTED: Pirates of the Caribbean.
The New Hotness? Pirates of the Oakland Estuary!
Pirates are taking over the Oakland Estuary Marinas. Yes, pirates. And local and federal authorities says it’s getting so bad – the U.S. Coast Guard is deploying help to patrol the area.
“Boat owners attacked by pirates,” said Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. “There are no excuses for that.”
From shipwrecks to sunken sailboats to pirate attacks, the shoreline around the Oakland estuary is seeing a new level of violence that’s leaving the area torn up and trashed. The irony is it’s happening right in front of one of the agencies responsible for addressing it.
“I’ve heard it’s gotten to the point of near fist fights on docks,” said former Harbor Master Brock de Lappe.
The vessels abandoned are covered in graffiti — left like a battleground scene of an action movie.
Wait, I thought the Oakland Raiders had moved to Las Vegas in 2020. Now they’re back? In any case, gooder and harder, California: Oakland NAACP Blames ‘Defund the Police’ for Rampant Crime in City.
