Yesterday, I re-watched The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the first time in a long time, and I realized again just how awful bureaucrats are.
When I see a story like this all I can think is Vogons.
It's the Vogons all over!
A 102-year-old, wheelchair-bound man is being hounded by his local government because lawless punks vandalized his personal property and he's unable to clean up his home.
Here's the thing: The government is essentially giving the punks permission to graffiti and vandalize Victor Silva, Sr.'s property by not stopping the criminals themselves. Then, to add insult to injury, they're acting as if the Silva is guilty of the crime himself.
Silva will have his 70-year-old son paint over the graffiti that, I'm sure, will be back again soon. Because thugs like that aren't punished in Oakland, they enjoy wreaking havoc.
'It was so absurd, it's like a joke. If you drive around the city and see the graffiti everywhere, it's just I don't know what to say,' said daughter-in-law Elena Silva to KVTU.
Oakland's current crime wave resulted in the only In-N-Out burger shop to ever close its doors!
The Taco Bells in Oakland ALL switched to drive-thru only because they can't open the doors for fear of criminals coming into the store.
But the Oakland police are doing graffiti inspection on a man born in the 1920s while gangbangers are shooting up the streets.
It doesn't have to be this way.
There's a way to fix this.
