DESCRIPTION:Save the Date! \n\nLet BART know: Blaming Oscar's friends for his death is 
 shameful & will not be tolerated\n\nNext BART Board Meeting\n9am, Thursday, 
 February 11th, 2010\n344 20th Street, near Harrison, on the 3rd 
 Floor\n\nWhile publicly declaring how happy BART is with the January 27th, 
 2010, settlement for $1.5 million for taking Oscar Grant's life, BART 
 attorney Dale Allen also took the opportunity to announce that BART will 
 "vigorously fight [Oscar's friends' lawsuits] based on their contributing 
 actions to the tragic accident." 
 http://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/2495176.html\n\nThis settlement was 
 the opening Oscar's killers needed, to devalue Oscar's life and launch a 
 campaign to blame Oscar's friends. To put the money part in perspective, 
 Rodney King settled for $3.8 million for the cans of whoop-ass opened on 
 him in 1991. The BART settlement, supposed to guarantee Tatiana's future 
 stability, isn't even half what Rodney King got, and Mehserle's criminal 
 trial hasn't even begun. Fortunately, Oscar's mother and co-plaintiff in 
 the $50 million lawsuit against BART refuses to settle.\n\nOscar's friends' 
 CONTRIBUTING ACTIONS???\n\nBART still hasn't decided what to do about 
 Officer Pirone calling Oscar a "Bitch Ass Nigg*#" while punching him down, 
 or Officer Domenici's sworn testimony that "if I have to go to lethal 
 force, I will."\n\nYet BART is certain that Oscar's friends – who were 
 handcuffed and/or sitting down and/or had their hands up, pleading and 
 praying not to get shot – definitely did contribute to Oscar's 
 murder.\n\nBART is obviously working closely with Mehserle's defense, and 
 when the trial starts the devil in the details will come to light. The same 
 BART, Rains, and others crying crocodile tears today are going to use every 
 racist stereotype in the book to paint Oscar and his friends as thugs, with 
 worthless lives, who got what they deserved. And BART will walk away 
 without making a single meaningful change to the police department.\n\nThis 
 insanity will not be tolerated. Over a year later and BART's manipulations 
 are only making matters worse. Come to the next BART Board Meeting to 
 expose their lies.\n\nNext BART Board Meeting\n9am, Thursday, February 
 11th\n344 20th Street, near Harrison, on the 3rd Floor\n
