I'm not surprised in the least that she's from Oakland. That rats' nest of a city has for the last several years been an incubator/ habitat for our country's most radical, demented, and violent liberal vermin.
Oakland's a known hangout for "Black bloc" Anarchist savages who go to protests with the express purpose of engaging in vandalism and violence and starting riots.
When the Occupy lunacy was at its strongest, Occupy Oakland was the group that most often resorted to violence and crime, and their feminist wing/ spinoff, Occupy Oakland Patriarchy, gained infamy in the summer of 2012 for protesting AGAINST a conference designed around fighting child sex- trafficking (One of them proudly waved a sign saying "End police terror against minor and adult sex- workers!").
Maybe there's crystal meth in the water supply over there or something.
