This was in hindsight a .."Lynching" in a upgraded modern way! Our young people must be aware or conscious that sum people mindsets are still the old .."South" way! We must educate our young people to (1)Observe...(2) Inform...(3) Protect our each other....This may be 2009 but in sum ways the mentality is like 1959. May god bless Oscar soul and i will pray for the city of Oakland and always Keep the Faith!..Sincerely,Don M.
