Expect riots.
\_ I don't think there will be significant rioting. When the news
is hyping something as much as they are the possibility of riots,
they're almost always wrong. -tom
\_ AGW?
\_ The Footlocker got looted, some other stores got broken into,
somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 people arrested. Really
sounds more like a Berkeley riot than an Oakland riot.
\_ You saw it here first:
"Oscar got shot, Mehserle got probation, and I got a new
pair of shoes."
\_ What does his parole status have to do with anything? Do you think
that the arresting officer knew he was on probation?
\_ I didn't keep track of the testimony. |
