Acting Out

Mehserle got involuntary manslaughter, which is going to put him in prison for 5-14 years for killing Oscar Grant.

In response to this, some folks thought they'd show their outrage by torching and vandalizing downtown Oakland.

'Cause, y'know, it's downtown Oakland that decided the verdict and apparently had some say in Mehserle's conduct as a BART police officer.

Sarcasm aside, I hope each of these vandalizing asshats got arrested (apparently there were a good eighty-some-odd arrests) and get to share cells with love-starved, hard-core, convicts.

Seriously. I get that there's anger out there. Taking it out on the businesses in Oakland is about as productive as hacking off your legs if you've got a headache.

Sure, it takes your mind off the headache, but it's not the most helpful response ever imagined.

Most of these fucktards were just out there as an excuse to destroy stuff. I hope those assholes were arrested and get extra-special attention from cellmates.
