As the entire internet knows, Mehserle was just sentenced to an appallingly minimal 2 year sentence, with credit for time served. People have been quick to point out that his punishment for the wrongful killing/murder of Oscar Grant is less than the sentence Vick received for torturing canines.
KevMo is already on the scene and reports that Foot Locker (above) has definitely learned from their past mistakes. So far the crowd is at about 300 and is generally subdued. More updates as the scene develops, but from the look of things it appears that SF might have finally upstaged Oakland in the riot department.

Please don’t even compare the SF riots to the Oakland riots. There’s a big difference between a bunch of drunk people celebrating a baseball game and people furious about state-sanctioned murder.
The problem is not that he got the miniimum for what the jury convicted him of, its that the judge overruled the jury’s finding that OG was shot with a gun.
