In-N-Out Burger says it will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft and robberies affecting customers and employees alike at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.

The fast-food burger joint in a busy corridor near Oakland International Airport will close on March 24 because even though the company has taken “repeated steps to create safer conditions our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized,” Denny Warnick, In-N-Out’s chief operating officer, said in a statement Wednesday.

    I lived in east Oakland for a good while around lower Seminary. Shit is waaaay more complicated than that. Fuck directly off. You don’t know shit if you haven’t lived it.

      I don’t think anyone here is under the illusion that fixing policing in this country, let alone Oakland, is a simple task.

      Maybe it’s a cultural issue.

      If the people living in oakland want to behave like animals, then they can live like animals.

        “If” is doing so much heavy lifting in that sentence you can probably leave the rest of the words out. Nobody wants to live that way.
