BART Shooting. http://www.beaupedia.org/2009/01/05/thats-outrageous-bart-shooting/ http://www.beaupedia.org/2009/01/05/thats-outrageous-bart-shooting/#comments Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:18:11 +0000 Beau http://www.beaupedia.org/2009/01/05/thats-outrageous-bart-shooting/ Below, you will find a link to a disturbing video of 22-year-old Oscar Grant being shot in the back by a police officer as he lay pinned face down on the ground.  I am trying to avoid rushing to judgement out of anger, but I think these videos speak for themselves.  My thoughts are with his family; I hope justice is swift and sure.  I will continue to follow the case and post updates.

So not funny…amazing how things change.  Another school shooting.  These things hit me like a bus.  Columbine ruined me for a year, I mourned…I became an insomniac.  Now I'm just angry.  So angry.  I wish I knew at who or what.  So angry and losing hope in humanity.  We keep trying to do good, but this keeps happening.  I don't know if our little bits of good scattered about can actually overcome this kind of hatred and evil.
