I watched it unfold on my TV, safe at home in Redwood City, open mouthed and incredulous. All that kept going through my head was "Oh no", and "where is the respect for Oscar?" I understand the outrage - but not the rioting - especially against their own people (the African Braid Shop). But now, I see the respect was in you - and others like you. A single candle in the darkness. Those who caused damage were just there to cause damage. Shame on them. Keep your candle burning - and may it light the way to peace. May justice be served for Oscar Grant. Anything less diminishes us all. Thank you for your beautiful account of a horrible night. You are a gifted writer. Blessings. Beautifully written.
