Will Oakland burn this weekend? Folks don't seem to care what the Mehserle verdict is, they just want to start the panic.

My hometown is always full of problems. Hope my mom stays away from that mess.

He'll be acquitted...at least that's my cynical take on it.

The closing arguments are today. Then the jury deliberates. Maybe Friday afternoon?

Oakland is bad on the 4th. You can sit in the hills and listen to the automatic weapons going off down in east oakland. A while ago there were a few signs up warning people to not fire their guns into the sky on independence day. They were designed so that people who couldn't read could understand the graphics. It looked like a fucked up ghetto rebus.

Ah, I remember this story now. So there's a chance the cop that shot him will get off?

he will probably get a pretty light sentence or nothing at all.
