I'm in the dark about this because I don't keep up with the news and very busy in my own world with a preschooler. Nevertheless, that could be a good thing these days! I did find many videos to choose from on YouTube, but couldn't finish until the end. I can't imagine actually witnessing it.

I think we should organize a boycott of BART for the same length of time it takes them to arrest the person they employed to murder Oscar Grant. I would suspect the revenue supports the salaries of the killers they employ. Why would we continue to pay their salary when they are killing innocent citizens? I also believe BART is a government agency so why would we continue to knowingly give money to the same people who are doing nothing to ensure this murderer is locked up.

It was absolutely horrific to watch...I don't watch the news; I in fact keep up with things by doing this blog and reading others...this situation tears me apart...

I read your post, IW...and remember your own recount and shed a few tears at the low that this has us all at. This man, his life...just gone. For what?

I agree with you Melissa...something needs to be done. Even here in the Midwest, I am willing to do something, anything to lend my time and effort to bring justice to this situation.

I refused to watch it. I knew the outcomes as well. We see it more and more. Black life isn't valued very much. It's heartbreaking. Black folk have to come together more, love each other more and realize we are in this together. We can only fight this institutionalized racism together.

This particular story brought tears to my eyes when I viewed the incident. Then I got angry. I am always amazed at how calloused people can be during moments like this. I have read some comments that have caused me to cringe. Simply because the writer lacks the common decency to consider that this was somebody who was loved by others.

Mine too, MsLadyDeborah...and I'm in the angry stage right now also.
I don't know why I even bother to read the comments...people use the internet because they can remain nameless and faceless and say whatever they want and suffer no recrimination for being insensitive jerks...

Hello Marvalus,
Well said. Well done. We have much to do this year. But God ....
As you know, "impossible" ain't nothing but a word to those of us who honestly believe that all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us.

It is times like these, Manchild, that I truly remember who God is and what he can do. I know many people have trouble believing when things like this happen, but there is a distinguishable difference between the will of God, and the will of man.
