American "justice" hates blacks

Hopefully nothing too bad happens in Oakland tonight.

When did we travel back to 1992?

When does something bad not happen in Oakland?

Well hopefully there isn't any violence, in departure from 1992. But just like 1992 cops still get to do whatever the  they want with young black males.

On the facts as presented, they were never going to get any type of a murder conviction.  I can make an argument for voluntary manslaughter (a weak argument), but I think the jury got it right here - involuntary manslaughter plus the gun enhancement (which is worth a few extra years).

Of course, there's no reasoning with some of the animals that live in Oakland.

Care to clarify "animals"  ?

He's talking about the dirty ******* of course.

Maybe they'll destroy some more black-owned businesses to show "whitey".

I think he means the retards who use race as an excuse to burn and break sh-t.

Destroying property would be way retarded. Things are looking good so far though.

Has Northern California ever had a race riot?

Has Northern California ever had a race riot?

I dunno but at least a third of the crowd is non-black so a race riot would be interesting.

The crowd that's gathered in Oakland.

About a thousand people gathered in downtown. There is continuous coverage of it on TV here. I don't think this crowd will get violent but you never know what will happen at night.

Considering the amount of gang activity in Oakland, I'd expect all the retards (otherwise known as gang-members) to come out and burn sh-t.

And the bay area also has it's fair share of anarchists. You can bet they will start some sh**t too.

Oh right, I bet Zachary Running Wolf and those "protest/flavor of the week" types are all down there being silly.

Thousand people?  That could turn rowdy.  I  lived in the East Bay when this incident happened, so I'm very fascinated by that story.

Does anyone know about how large the typical crowd needs to be to start a full-on riot?  I mean, about 3k people were injured and 4k people arrested in the Watt's riots.  There's generally probably a threshold that gets crossed at some point.

I've always felt a lot more racial tension in the air in the Bay Area than my limited experiences in other parts of the country -- but that could just be because I lived in Berkeley, where the rich white people live in the hills and elect white politicians who care more about spending $500k on a useless lawsuit to save 13 trees than spending that money on social service programs or even fixing potholes.

What are they doing?  Holding candles, shouting anger, etcetc?

[Sbane]

Mostly people standing about. I think they have a podium set up so people are speaking. Lots of signs denouncing racist/killer cops. Standard stuff.

There was an interesting riot in response to Dan White's manslaughter [as opposed to murder] charge.  But that manslaughter verdict was far more ridiculous -- a plotted assassination -- and the victim was a political icon for the gay rights movement.

Glancing at this list, I don't see any Northern California race riots:

Even Tacoma, Washington has had a race riot, am I missing anything?

How's the weather in Oakland tonight?  Hot, mild, etc.?
