Because a large majority of Americans want California to break off from the continental US and sink into the ocean. They don't like who we vote for and they don't like that we're a Democratic state is what I'm getting from the comments. They say that we're either gonna blame it on global warming, fracking, or both (Some are even including Obama in the mix). We have a fairly large population of Mexicans who crossed the border not through official means in the state, commonly referred to as illegals/illegal aliens and they don't seem too happy about that either.
California (especially the SF Bay Area) is very tolerant of gays while much of the US is still not comfortable with that, I'm seeing a lot of homophobic comments. They don't like how we shove it down everyone's throats through protests, parades, media coverage, etc.
Also seeing a ton of racist comments on how blacks will somehow blame this on white people and calling them out on suppressing black people. In which many rioters and looters will appear in Oakland, which is apparently known for our looting and riots I guess. When Occupy Oakland took place, many of the rioters weren't even from Oakland to begin with (and neither were many of the police officers).
I don't think many realize that while the earthquake was a rocker, it didn't really damage the San Francisco/Oakland area. It only really impacted the Napa valley. So I don't know why there are so many people saying that our stores look exactly look like Ferguson, Missouri after "the 6.0 'black community' earthquake" struck.
A ton of these comments annoy me but bigots will be bigots.
There are some more nicer comments within the huge boiling mess of hell though.
I recall one saying that because Robin Williams's ashes were scattered throughout the bay, he made a joke and the ground just couldn't not laugh.
