Oscar Grant Shooting




a response i wrote for this on illroots, check the sight.





"When i first heard about this i scoffed at it. I guess desensitized by this culture of video apathy and my own experiences with violence. Until i saw the video. To say that is hard. To say that i scoffed. But i did. I ask you what progress has been made in this world. I am baffled by the actions of people as devious as this. And the fact we all know he will (no matter his punishment) be let off in our eyes is the blunt truth to the neck that we should never accept such acts of horror. No case can be made for this being acceptable. NONE. Crisis is far from just being over seas we all agree on that. Black white brown whatever, this is disgusting. Thought, prayers, and love to his family. Fight hard to subdue this system into eating one of their own. He deserves no less."
I know it is kind of jumping the gun so to speak on this incident, not knowing the actual events. But what was the actual need to shoot him, was he going to attack them from his stomach, was he going to transform into a monster slash terrorist and lunge from the ground to harm these helpless armed trained officers, incite a riot due to his stance as the most dangerous man face down on the ground surrounded by cops? honestly i mean what the fuck?
