Great! Glad you brought up the O.J. thing and I was hoping you would.

O.J. was aquitted wrongly or rightly but the system worked. Was is just? I don’t think so but 12 other people saw it differently.

Life’s tough there were no “White People” riots. In fact, no one but the most atavistic, Hood wearing, Robert Byrd is my hero, moron would even think about it.

We all just kind of threw our hands up in the air and rolled our eyes.

The difference here is Mehserle is going to jail. A terrible place to be under any circumstance and he is going to pay a penalty.

It will cost him dearly and he may wish he had followed through on his initial instinct.

As far as you not drinking, I guess that’s probably the problem.

And your hope will be realized, then you can celebrate justice.

And this case is pretty much the same. The system "worked" but it worked poorly and reached the wrong conclusion.

Agreed and I think the rioting is stupid. Predictable, but stupid.

Perhaps. I'm sure the court, which is traditionally very deferential to the police, will give him a light sentence in isolation at a minimum security prison. He'll get time served and early parole and he'll be home by Christmas or not much later.

He'll serve far, far less time than a civilian would under the exact same circumstances.

I can't argue with that!

And your hope will be realized, then you can celebrate justice.

We'll see.
