And, if I had been alone, I would have felt extremely uncomfortable -- possibly to the point of leaving.

But, for people on this site to equate the unstable behaviour of football fans in the Bay Area -- to the entire Bay Area much less the entire state of California -- well, all I can say is that is just -- as my grandmother from Opelousas would say -- "asinine".

Here's my issue Cat. If defense of my reasonable assessment that the bay area is full of thugs and that it is nearly as violent as any place in the US, you, rather than look at the facts in a reasonable way, prefer to defend ( I guess ) the area by slamming New Orleans, a city that has nothing to do with the conversation. And you do so by what? By talking about the scenery? Seriously?

That's the part I don't get. You may not think the bay area is becoming more dangerous by the year, but in fact it is. I fail to see what is so unreasonable about my posts.

And what do you think Oakland would be like should, God forbid, it have to endure a natural disaster similar to the one New Orleans endured? And yes, I know New Orleans has also come with risks to the uninformed, but just for grins, what do you think?

I'd be willing to bet you Oakland wouldn't fare nearly as well as New Orleans...that's just a guess...an opinion...but Oakland and the bay area in general is bad and getting worse.

Now, I certainly DO equate the behavior at Niners games, Raiders games, and yes even Giants games (my boss could tell you some stories you wouldn't believe about what happens at Giants games) to the people who live here. They are, after all, the ones attending those games. Further, I see that behavior all over this area. Everywhere I go. I have friends who both live in and that have left Richmond, Vallejo, and Oakland - people who have lived out here for decades, complaining about how bad things are and how they're getting worse.

But don't take my word for it. Turn on KRON 4 tonight and pay attention.
