my Mom, Oakland DA, daughter (tres generaciones de mujeres) visited last Sunday.

Daughter reports that in addition to the widespread breaking of parked car windows, the new 'thing' is breaking the windows on cars occupied by women at stoplights and grabbing their purses at knifepoint.

I have a hunch this isn't necessarily all 'homeless people' crime, but also young thugs who are simply urban thugs.

Not a bad idea for ladies to keep a can of bear spray in their door side panel....

"......the FBI arrested two men and charged them with attacking U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick with an unknown chemical spray during the Jan. 6 riot.

Your juxtaposition prompted a thought. There's a whole segment of the American populace who frighteningly downplays the cause, the nature, the violence, and the import of what took place on Jan 6. And one of the effects of this reality reversal is that it functions to legitimize the impulse to and use of violence in general.
