A beloved Northern California bakery owner has died after being the victim
of a robbery earlier this week in which she was severely injured, her
family said.

Jen Angel, the owner of Angel Cakes died after losing all brain function,
her loved ones said Thursday evening.

"It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Oakland baker, small
business owner, social justice activist, and community member Jen Angel
has been medically declared to have lost all brain function and will not regain consciousness," the statement said.

Angel was robbed Monday near a Wells Fargo Bank, FOX San Francisco
reported. She was sitting in her car when someone broke in and stole her purse. She chased after the thief to retrieve the bag but the suspects
drove off, the report said.

Angel was reportedly dragged 50 feet by the vehicle and taken to a
hospital with head injuries.

In the statement, friends and family said Angel was against "state
violence, carceral punishment, or incarceration."

Her organs will be donated and the bakery will remain open with support
from Angel's estate, the statement said. A medical team informed Angel's family that the donated organs will save the lives of up to 70 people.

"If the Oakland Police Department does make an arrest in this case, the
family is committed to pursuing all available alternatives to traditional prosecution, such as restorative justice, the statement said.

off, there is no restorative justice for someone who is dead. Second, criminal prosecution protects all of society, not just the one person
harmed during this specific act. If you really believe she was being
dragged by a car and thinking "I hope they don't go to prison" I'm
positive you're kidding yourself.

Seems that incarceration might have prevented this tragedy. Social Justice
is a myth and seems she paid the price for it.

I think, by restorative justice they mean restoring the criminal to
society. Maybe giving him a hug and some cookies, talking to him, you
know.

How bizarre is this family? In what universe do they come from? Only in
CA.
