Although BART cop Johannes Mehserle was arrested yesterday, another protest is planned today from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in front of Oakland City Hall (Frank Ogawa Plaza). But wait, there's more! Some Facebook group exploiting the name of Oscar Grant -- hilariously billing themselves Coalition Against Police Execution (CAPE), because, other than a few nutty right-wingers, just who is FOR police execution? -- is asking you to bring a white t-shirt to the rally so they can help you create your own Oscar Grant T-shirt. It seems they also need money and food. Because at its core, tonight's protest is a party. You can go here for more details.

Making my t-shirt right now... How many bullets in the back again?
"...because, other than a few nutty right-wingers, just who is FOR police execution?"
of course nobody is FOR it, but it still happens. just as nobody is FOR drunk driving, but it's still common.
Time to connect the dots, people...

i'm hoping that's a joke, but assuming it's not, since it is not at all unusual for bay area "activists" to use any excuse imaginable -- even the most obtuse, bizarre, or downright nasty excuse -- to link israel and "the jews" with all that ails the world.
gross. ugly. ignorant. oh, and stupid.
At what point do we call these "protests" what they really are? - 21st Century Lynch Mobs.
This whole thing is turning into a farce straight out of Bonfire of the Vanities.
If his family was really shrewd, they'd trademark his name so they could make a few bucks off the licensing.
Where is the protest to Free Johannes Meserle?
