Reporter whines about being targeted by gas thieves: 'You support the Democrats, right?'

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to reflect that Carla Marinucci no longer works for Politico, and has not for several years.

One reporter is getting no sympathy after she and her husband were targeted by criminals twice in Oakland, California.

Republicans and conservatives have long warned of the consequences of going soft on criminals, who will continue to do what they are doing as long as they are never held accountable in a real way. Carla Marinucci found this out firsthand when gas thieves drilled holes in her husband’s gas tank not once, but twice.

“For the SECOND time here in Oakland, thieves have drilled a hole in my husband’s truck parked in driveway and drained the gas from the tank. Can someone explain: is this an Oakland thing? A CA thing? Is there anything you can do to prevent it? WTF,” she wrote on X, tagging the Oakland Police Department.

Normally one would expect the replies to be full of empathy and helpful tips, but it would appear that a large number of people believe Marinucci brought this on herself by shilling for Democrats and their policies.

You work for Politico and push Democrat BS all day, right? You support the Democrats right? Welcome to the consequence of their pro-criminal policies. If you want to be equitable like they talk so much about then you’ll fill up gas cans and leave them out for your local thief.

They just need bread for their families.

Oh no! Carla it’s just your way of paying reparations every day. You should be happy to do it.

Did you vote Democrat?

My response is dependent upon on this information…

You literally live in a city that promotes “defund the police” and “side shows” and you’re surprised that your husbands truck is being fcked with?

Brains of a liberal. ‍♀️

Actually, crime is down.. so you are wrong

It’s a California thing and most definitely an Oakland thing. Please keep this in mind when writing stories that praise our Soros-backed DAs and soft-on-crime policies.
