Black Lives Matter protesters vandalize Oakland mayor’s home; she accuses them of terrorism
The Democratic mayor of Oakland, California, accused vandals who left Black Lives Matter messages spray painted at her home of trying to “terrorize” her and her family.
The incident occurred in the early morning on Tuesday outside Mayor Libby Schaaf’s house.
Witnesses say that 30 to 40 protesters dressed in black fired off projectiles and firecrackers during the vandalism. They spray-painted messages on the mayor’s stone wall, sidewalk and garage, including “Defund OPD,” “homes 4 all,” and “blood on your hands.”
A spokesperson for Schaaf released a statement condemning the vandalism.
“This attack designed to intimidate the Mayor and strike fear into her family, will not stop her from advocating for the policies she believes are in the best long-term interests of her beloved hometown,” said Justin Berton.
“Like all Oaklanders, she supports passionate protest but does not support tactics meant to harm and terrorize others,” the statement concluded.
See, Schaaf was good with all the protests and criminal behavior beforehand: now they are terrorism. At least as she’s involved. If they stay away from her home she’ll be fine with it. She’s also suddenly not good with further cuts to the police, and you can bet her home is going to get protection now.
