Yes, just the kind of free press Goebbels would be proud of.
It's always good to see the local press misrepresent the significance of something with scary innuendo to turf up a small-scale moral panic with a little two-minutes-hate appended in the comments section to make sure everyone knows the genuine, salt-o-the-earth grass-roots are up-in-arms about this whole people-teaching-each-other-practical-skills-without-prior-permission-from-the-appropriate-bureau thing. That power-mad anarcha-Mayoress must be stopped before her non-hierarchical subordinates rape our children and must be replaced with a proper authoritarian before it's too late.

Oh dear gawd.  This is possibly the most moronic piece of "journalism" I have ever seen. 

Are they unaware of the fact that you can go to a lock-picking school(actually it teaches you way more), and that this is just a cheaper version of that?  (see: http://www.lock411.com/training.html).  

 Also, virtually no crime in Oakland involves skilled lock-picking, because it's a waste of time.  

Don't worry though, you can train in deadly martial arts, go to the shooting range, and buy ninja swords just about anywhere in Oakland, but picking a Masterlock is "appalling".

Hi everyone,

Heads up. Looks like some folks aren't too happy that people are learning how to pick locks this weekend.
