“The city of Oakland, California now wants to ban any object that could be used as a ‘tool of vandalism,’ including hammers, wrenches, slingshots, shields and presumably anything else with a blunt edge such as garden rakes or sticks. It’s all part of Oakland’s response to recent protests in which angry mobs of people caused significant damage to local businesses (because angry mobs tend to loot and burn their own neighborhoods first). The city claims these objects will be illegal to possess during a ‘protest,’ but there is no official definition of a ‘protest,’ meaning the police can invoke the ordinance any time they wish.”
