    You blue voting cock suckers got exactly what you wanted. The people
    you elected said they would stop holding criminals accountable and you elected them anyway. So who are the stupid fucks?

    "Pirates" in the San Francisco Bay are sinking a nonprofit boating
    school for kids as homeless bandits wreak havoc along the Oakland and
    Alameda shores.

    Kame Richards, who owns the Alameda Community Sailing Center, said that
    four of their eight safety boats, which cost between $25,000 and $35,000
    each, had been stolen and destroyed by seafaring bandits.

    "We cannot run our program without these boats," Richards wrote in a
    letter to a local municipal commission that focuses on enforcement in
    the bay.

    "The response we received from APD (Alameda Police Department) was that
    they could do nothing, and a warning not to approach the perpetrators if
    we located our boats."

    Since the summer, burglars have been using small boats to raid yachts
    and houseboats in the Oakland-Alameda Estuary, which is populated by
    marinas with over 3,000 slips, to steal anything of value.

    Then, they either sink the ships or dump whatever is left of them miles
    away in the Oakland Harbor or along its shorelines.

    The sailing school needs one safety boat for each group of six sailboats
    on the water, Richards said, but it's on the cusp of closing.

    "If we don't have enough safety boats, we can't put enough kids on the
    water," she said during the meeting. "We had all hands on deck to
    retrieve this stuff, and it took 35 hours to get a police report number
    from the Alameda Police Department.
