Todos Somos Oscar Grant: Father Sues BART

OSCAR_GRANT_COURT.jpg

The father of Oscar Grant III, Oscar Grant II, is suing the transit agency that he thinks is responsible for his son's death. According to CBS 5/AP, "Oscar Grant Jr., who is in prison for murder, filed the civil rights lawsuit in San Francisco federal court, seeking unspecified damages." His attorney says that he"hopes people look past his client's murder conviction to understand there was a close relationship between father and son." Which is oddly touching. And depressing. Anyway, BART Officer Johannes Mehserle, if you recall, sits in the clink, facing murder charges for killing Grant on New Year's Day.

Suing for use of conjugal visit trailer?

I'm pretty sure Mehserle bailed out of the clink and is awaiting trial on the outside.

We are all Oscar Grant's father.

Ha!
That's classic.
I might just have to steal that line from you...

Hey, I was told there would be "virulent racism" in this post.

All's I see is mostly direct quotes, one guy witha muppet avatar, and a sushi ad.

¡TODOS SOMOS LOVELLE MIXON!

Such delicious irony. His son is dead because papa Grant was too busy killing others.
