Nine shot at downtown Oakland Halloween party
No one was arrested in what is believed to be the largest number of shooting victims at one time in Oakland in recent memory.


That was in this city, where guns are a no-no and you should just be aware of your surroundings to prevent crime:

Oakland, of course, is the ideal place to open a marijuana superstore. You've probably heard of “Oaksterdam University,” where you can take classes ...
Oct 15, 2010 ... In Oakland, the marijuana business has become the toke of the town.
. In Oakland, Calif., a trade school is training students to work in the state's thriving medical marijuana business.


I thought "legalization was going to reduce crime" and "no guns reduces crime" (their arguments)

The shooting happened at 12:01 a.m. Sunday inside Sweet's Ballroom, 1933 Broadway, which was the site of a Halloween party billed as the Fright Fest, "the biggest college party in the Bay Area."
:???: Oakland is not exactly a "college town."

Officers who responded early Sunday saw several hundred people fleeing Sweet's Ballroom, where a party called the first annual Fright Fest was being held, Oakland police spokeswoman Holly Joshi said.
It will probably also be the last annual Fright Fest.
