"Johannes Mehserle, the former Bart police officer who killed Oscar Grant on the platform of the Fruitvale station on New Year's day 2009, was sentenced Friday to two years in prison. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry gave Mehserle credit for 292 days already served, which reduced the amount of time Meherle will serve to 'just over a year and 2 months'."
It's an old, old story of miscarriages of justice when it comes to the lives of blacks at the hands of the criminal justice system - this outrage happened in Oakland, Ca., and was tried in Los Angeles, Ca.
This case is no exception and there were no surprises in this one. It should be noted that NFL Quarterback, Michael Vick, got more prison time for killing dogs he bred for fighting, than Mehserle got for murdering a human being, Oscar Grant.
If America ever wakes up to what she is building up in the sky-high wall of karma and "reaping" for her crimes against blacks from the day the first one was imported here to be a slave, it will be way too late to avoid the certain judgement that is in store for her.
IMHO the judgement has already begun, but America is too racist and ignorant to realize it.
The Judge did just what his societal peers wanted and expected him to do - always be on the side of the police no matter how egregious their actions, especially when it comes to the loss of life or the freedom of a black victim.
Well done Judge Perry! - you will be able to continue happily on with your country club golf membership and with your Synagogue or Church membership, and with your judgeship in the Superior Court . The people who count in your world are applauding your decision right now - you've done right by them.
But most importantly, have you done right by God - the Creator of Oscar Grant? And will He hold you and your applauders responsible for his blood? - when and where and how????
It's a certainty that you and they, will answer to God in due time...and if not, then there is no God (but don't count on it)...
