1. I had no idea this was happening.

Why in the hell are there "supporters" of this murderer?

It's bad enough that he basically got off with only a few years, now he's a fucking hero or something? He needs a fucking rally? Fuck these law and order fucks. Makes me want to hit something. What the fuck is wrong with these fucking people?

3. Happy to hear

There are always more people in support of human rights and justice than you think there are! Right wing rallies are usually tiny and they always have the cops there for protection. I will know that things are going right when human rights supporters have police protection and the racists and fascists are on their own. But I am not *holding my breath*.

8. The thing that I don't get is Why Walnut Creek ?

Our county went strongly Obama all of our Reps are Dems .....

Cowards for not holding this Rally in Oakland

Racists for holding this rally in Oakland.

9. Because FReeperland is all the way over the hill, I guess.

Walnut Creek was as close as they could get to Oakland without seeing any black people -- or so they thought.

19. What KamaAina said.

Too scaredy to go to Oakland. I wonder where these folks were coming from? They seem to have coordinated the whole thing on FB. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=132192333488108&v=wall

Description:
On Thursday, July 8, 2010 a verdict was released in the Johannes Mehserle trial that will FOREVER affect Johannes, his family, and our law enforcement officers.

Johannes Mehserle was found NOT guilty of 2nd degree murder and voluntary manslaughter but WRONGLY convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter and Gun Enhancement in the accidental shooting death of Oscar Grant while on active duty. Johannes was taken into custody and is awaiting sentencing. An appeal is pending.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT'S TIME TO STOP THROWING OUR OFFICERS UNDER THE BUS. TAKE A STAND FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FOR JOHANNES. TIE OUR LEO HANDS AND NO ONE WINS.

A Rally to support Johannes Mehserle and our law enforcement officers is planned for July 19, 2010 at 2pm. (read less)

You know what else also affects a man and his family forever, assholes? Being shot in the back and killed. Mehserle will live to see his child grow up, too bad Oscar will never have that chance.
