"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(AP) — Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to “Just win, baby!,” died Saturday. He was 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history — a rebel with a subpoena. That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court — and won — for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Davis’ willingness to take on the establishment that helped turn the NFL into money-making giant that it is — the most successful sports league in American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al Davis’s passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Davis was hardly an NFL company man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not in the way he dressed — usually satin running suits, one white, one black, and the occasional black suit, black shirt and silver tie. Not in the way he wore his hair — slicked back with a ’50s duck-tail. Not in the way he talked — Brooklynese with Southern inflection. Not in the way he does business — on his own terms, always on his own terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elected in 1992 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer.

Davis was perhaps the second most famous after Barbra Streisand.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a reunion in Los Angeles and 500 people showed up, including Bah-bruh,” he once told an interviewer in that combination of southern drawl/Brooklynese that was often parodied among his acquaintances within the league and without.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A graduate of Syracuse University, he became an assistant coach with the Baltimore Colts at age 24; and was an assistant at The Citadel and then Southern California before joining the Los Angeles Chargers of the new AFL in 1960. Only three years later, he was hired by the Raiders and became the youngest general manager-head coach in pro football history with a team he called “the Raid-uhs” in 1963.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He was a good one, 23-16-3 in three seasons with a franchise that had started its life 9-23.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Then he bought into the failing franchise, which played on a high school field adjacent to the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland and became managing general partner, a position he held until his death.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But as the many bright young coaches he hired — from John Madden, Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden to Lane Kiffin — found out, he remained the coach. He ran everything from the sidelines, often calling down with plays, or sending emissaries to the sidelines to make substitutions.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In 1966, he became commissioner of the AFL.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But even before that, he had begun to break an unwritten truce between the young league and its established rivals, which fought over draft choices but did not go after established players.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although the NFL’s New York Giants’ signing of Buffalo placekicker Pete Gogolak marked the first break in that rule, it was Davis who began to go after NFL stars — pursuing quarterbacks John Brodie and Roman Gabriel as he tried to establish AFL supremacy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Davis’ war precipitated first talks of merger, although Davis opposed it. But led by Lamar Hunt of Kansas City, the AFL owners agreed that peace was best. A common draft was established, and the first Super Bowl was played following the 1966 season — Green Bay beat Kansas City, then went on to beat Davis’ Raiders the next season. By 1970, the leagues were fully merged and the league had the basic structure it retains until this day — with the NFL’s Pete Rozelle as commissioner, not Davis, who wanted the job badly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">So he went back to the Raiders, running a team that won Super Bowls after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons — the last one in Los Angeles, where the franchise moved in 1982 after protracted court fights. It was a battling bunch, filled with players such as John Matuszak, Mike Haynes and Lyle Alzado, stars who didn’t fill in elsewhere who combined with homegrown stars — Ken Stabler, another rebellious spirit; Gene Upshaw; Shell, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown and dozens of others.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">After lengthy lawsuits involving the move to Los Angeles, he went back to Oakland and at one point in the early years of the century was involved in suits in northern and southern California — the one seeking the Los Angeles rights and another suing Oakland for failing to deliver sellouts they promised to get the Raiders back.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“Personally, I was fond of him,” Bengals owner and president Mike Brown said. “He battled with the NFL, and a lot of us wished that had not been where things went, but under all that was a person I respected. It saddens me to hear that he is gone.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Davis aged, his teams declined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The Raiders got to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, losing to Tampa Bay. But for a long period after that, they had the worst record in the NFL, at one point with five coaches in six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">It is fitting that this year’s Raiders team is built in typical Raiders fashion with a bevy of speedsters on offense capable of delivering the deep-strike play Davis has always coveted, a physically imposing defensive line that can pressure the quarterback and an accomplished man coverage cornerback in Stanford Routt.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Once a constant presence at practice, training camp and in the locker room, Davis was rarely seen in public beyond the bizarre spectacles to fire and hire coaches where he spent more time disparaging his former coach than praising his new one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He did not appear at a single training camp practice this summer and missed a game in Buffalo last month, believed to be only the third game he missed in 49 seasons with the franchise. Davis did attend Oakland’s home game last week against New England.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although he was no longer as public a figure, he was still integrally involved in the team from the draft to negotiating contracts to discussing strategy with his coaches. Jackson has said Davis was unlike any other owner he had worked for in his ability to understand the ins and outs of the game.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’ve never had the opportunity to sit and talk football, the X’s and O’s and what it takes to win in this league consistently on a consistent basis, and there’s nothing like working for coach Davis,” Jackson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">While other owners and league executives branded Davis a renegade, friends and former players find him the epitome of loyalty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When his wife, Carol, had a serious heart attack, he moved into her hospital room and lived there for more than a month. And when he hears that even a distant acquaintance is ill, he’ll offer medical help without worrying about expense.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disease is the one thing — boy I tell you, it’s tough to lick,” he said in 2008, talking about the leg ailments that had restricted him to using a walker. “It’s tough to lick those diseases. I don’t know why they can’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years earlier, he said: “I can control most things, but I don’t seem to be able to control death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis is survived by Carol and their son Mark, who Davis has said would run the team after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"columns\">\u003cem>Columnists\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070932\">Al Davis was all about winning\u003c/a> (Mark Purdy, SJ Mercury News)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070916\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, a man for all seasons\u003c/a> (Cam Inman, Bay Area News Group)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070911\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, life to the fullest\u003c/a> (Tin Kawakami, SJ Mercury News)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19070900\">Gary Peterson: Al Davis did it his way\u003c/a> (Gay Peterson, Bay Area News Group)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_19071056\">Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis had loyal friends, sworn enemies\u003c/a> (Monte Poole, Bay Area News Group)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ann_killion/10/08/al.davis/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t11_a5\">Davis’ death robs NFL of an iconic, one-of-a-kind presence\u003c/a> (Ann Killion, Sports Illustrated)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/10/08/al.davis/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t11_a2\">Davis impacted football history, and did it on his own terms\u003c/a> (Peter King, Sports Illustrated)\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AlM2cTcENXkTTymgQSAzl8w5nYcB?slug=jc-cole_al_davis_respect_100811\">Brash, combative Davis made his mark on the game\u003c/a> (Jason Cole, Yahoo!

(AP) — Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to “Just win, baby!,” died Saturday. He was 82.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history — a rebel with a subpoena. That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court — and won — for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Davis’ willingness to take on the establishment that helped turn the NFL into money-making giant that it is — the most successful sports league in American history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Al Davis’s passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But for a long period after that, they had the worst record in the NFL, at one point with five coaches in six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">It is fitting that this year’s Raiders team is built in typical Raiders fashion with a bevy of speedsters on offense capable of delivering the deep-strike play Davis has always coveted, a physically imposing defensive line that can pressure the quarterback and an accomplished man coverage cornerback in Stanford Routt.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Once a constant presence at practice, training camp and in the locker room, Davis was rarely seen in public beyond the bizarre spectacles to fire and hire coaches where he spent more time disparaging his former coach than praising his new one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">He did not appear at a single training camp practice this summer and missed a game in Buffalo last month, believed to be only the third game he missed in 49 seasons with the franchise. Davis did attend Oakland’s home game last week against New England.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Although he was no longer as public a figure, he was still integrally involved in the team from the draft to negotiating contracts to discussing strategy with his coaches. Jackson has said Davis was unlike any other owner he had worked for in his ability to understand the ins and outs of the game.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’ve never had the opportunity to sit and talk football, the X’s and O’s and what it takes to win in this league consistently on a consistent basis, and there’s nothing like working for coach Davis,” Jackson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">While other owners and league executives branded Davis a renegade, friends and former players find him the epitome of loyalty.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">When his wife, Carol, had a serious heart attack, he moved into her hospital room and lived there for more than a month. And when he hears that even a distant acquaintance is ill, he’ll offer medical help without worrying about expense.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Disease is the one thing — boy I tell you, it’s tough to lick,” he said in 2008, talking about the leg ailments that had restricted him to using a walker. “It’s tough to lick those diseases. I don’t know why they can’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few years earlier, he said: “I can control most things, but I don’t seem to be able to control death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis is survived by Carol and their son Mark, who Davis has said would run the team after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The summer programs operate in every county in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking for a summer meal site, or know someone who is, here are links to the programs in each Bay Area County: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201101.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alameda\u003c/a> (Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, Fremont)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201107.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contra Costa \u003c/a>(Richmond, Martinez, Concord, Pittsburg, Antioch, etc.)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201121.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marin\u003c/a> (Sausalito, Marin City)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201128.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Napa\u003c/a> (Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201138.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201141.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Mateo\u003c/a> (East Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Redwood City, Daly City)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201143.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Clara\u003c/a> (San Jose, Gilroy, Mountain View, etc.)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201144.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Cruz\u003c/a> (Santa Cruz, Watsonville)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201148.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solano\u003c/a> (Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun City, etc.)\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sh/sn/sfs201149.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sonoma\u003c/a> (Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Healdsburg, Guerneville, etc.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because if he did he would have stood behind the letter. This was all a ploy, all by design. It was right before the jury was going to make a decision on the case. And then he puts out a letter supposedly that asks for some forgiveness from the family and the community. The letter wasn’t addressed to any member in the family; it was addressed to the public. It said ‘to the public.’ That was a slap in the face itself, because even the public didn’t believe the letter. We are the victims, and yet there has been no open apology from him or anybody in his camp who have said to the family that he was sorry for what he did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>How do you hope Mehserle will spend the rest of his life?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we have to do, is not be concerned about what Mehserle does now, but be concerned about what he did. And that is to continue to advocate for the true justice that Oscar deserves, and that is for (Mesherle) to be held accountable. That entails much conversation with the Department of Justice. And ultimately, allowing our God to bring closure with us within our own family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What does Mehserle’s impending release feel like for Oscar Grant’s family?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">When do people of color, simple families, receive justice? \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s painful and it actually is recharging me. Because it allows me to see that we have no justice or we haven’t received any justice. And that I need to look at the rest of my life in this pursuit of seeking justice not just for Oscar, but the fact that police brutality needs to be addressed in such a way that we begin to pay attention to the injustice that especially men of color are suffering at the hands of police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we need to remember: We have a mother who has lost a loving son that she loved dearly. And that she on her birthday instructed him, Oscar Grant, to catch the BART train and then she had to experience this tragedy. We have a daughter, my niece, Oscar’s daughter, who right now pains for her daddy and shares this emotion; being in a car and seeing a police officer she will say to the other young cousins of hers, ‘Duck, policeman.’ It shows just how heinous and egregious this murder has afflicted the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>How is Oscar Grant’s mother feeling?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My sister, Oscar’s mother, wants to know, ‘Where’s the accountability?’ When do people of color, simple families, receive justice? And there’s many across the U.S., we’re not the only family that’s experienced this. She’s hurt. She’s pained, and the thought of him being released is hurtful. And it happens at a time when my father’s hospitalized. So we have to suffer his pain and then reflect on what happened to Oscar. It’s not healthy.

Without a doubt he’s done his time and this is what the justice system has put forth. And I just hope that he can somehow have some sort of quality life when he gets out of jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">People who are upset about this think Johannes is a big winner in this; I’ve got news for them: I don’t think he’s going to be a big winner in this.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I coached Johannes when he was a young man in sports and I see his parents every once in awhile. I’ve written to him. Have not received anything in return. So I really don’t have any peronsal knowldge about how he’s doing. I know he’s a very resilient young man and I imagine that life was tough when he was in and my guess is that it’ll be tough when he gets out. Certainly, my opinion is that he’s lost his career in law enforcement; he’s got a young child, and I worry that he won’t be able to have a quality life when he gets out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>Do you see a life for him in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in doubt as well.

But knowing them the way I do I can imagine they’re elated at having their son back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What did you write in the letter to Mehserle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I just know Johannes, and my guess is there isn’t a day that goes by he doesn’t think about Oscar Grant.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I told him to be strong, just trying to put a human touch to it. He’s acknowledged, Johannes’ parents have acknowledged, there are no winners in this thing. I’m sure Oscar Grant’s family says Oscar doesn’t get to come back and that’s a tragedy in itself. Once again there are no winners, and people who are upset about this think Johannes is a big winner in this; I’ve got news for them: I don’t think he’s going to be a big winner in this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What do you think about the planned protests?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frankly, if you take the history of policemen having these types of things, you can also say that it was an injustice that he ever spent a day in jail. But, this is what our court system has said, and that’s what happened, and I think as people in American society, we have to sometimes understand that our system, albeit imperfect, is the best in the world, and I would hope and pray and ask for restraint on everybody’s part. I just think that it’s certainly a time for family and friends and supporters to remember Oscar Grant, but I would hope that it wouldn’t result in widespread violence and those types of things that have happened in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What would you say to Mehserle if you saw him if he came home?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">He’s a good human being and he’s spent his time. They may not like how much time he’s spent, but he did what’s required under the law. Let him live his life. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I just know Johannes, the way I know him, my guess is that there isn’t a day that goes by that he doesn’t think about Oscar Grant. He’s never told me that, but just the way I know him and how thoughtful a human being he really is, I would just try to lend support as opposed to giving him advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>Are you in the camp that thinks he should not have spent a day in jail? \u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard. When you take a look at the law and special circumstances for a gun in the commission of a crime, well he’s a policeman so he carried a gun. I think that whole thing was equally confusing for both sides. There’s people in the middle that are confused too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not that I don’t have any empathy for Oscar Grant’s family. There’s no winners in this. He doesn’t get to come home. I feel so bad that there’s been so much pain in the Mehserle family and the Grant family. I just pray that it doesn’t result in property and people getting arrested and huge negativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What would you like people to remember about Mehserle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s an excellent human being. I have never ever known him to be angry and aggressive. And I just think it was an unfortunate horrible circumstance that put him and Oscar Grant in this situation. There’s some awfully angry people out there. When I spoke up for Johannes at the very beginning of this, I got threats as well. I worry for him and just hope that people will remember that he is a human being, he’s a good human being, and he’s spent his time. They may not like how much time he’s spent, but he did what’s required under the law, and let him live his life.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Because if he did he would have stood behind the letter. This was all a ploy, all by design. It was right before the jury was going to make a decision on the case. And then he puts out a letter supposedly that asks for some forgiveness from the family and the community. The letter wasn’t addressed to any member in the family; it was addressed to the public. It said ‘to the public.’ That was a slap in the face itself, because even the public didn’t believe the letter. We are the victims, and yet there has been no open apology from him or anybody in his camp who have said to the family that he was sorry for what he did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>How do you hope Mehserle will spend the rest of his life?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we have to do, is not be concerned about what Mehserle does now, but be concerned about what he did. And that is to continue to advocate for the true justice that Oscar deserves, and that is for (Mesherle) to be held accountable. That entails much conversation with the Department of Justice. And ultimately, allowing our God to bring closure with us within our own family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What does Mehserle’s impending release feel like for Oscar Grant’s family?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">When do people of color, simple families, receive justice? \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>It’s painful and it actually is recharging me. Because it allows me to see that we have no justice or we haven’t received any justice. And that I need to look at the rest of my life in this pursuit of seeking justice not just for Oscar, but the fact that police brutality needs to be addressed in such a way that we begin to pay attention to the injustice that especially men of color are suffering at the hands of police officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we need to remember: We have a mother who has lost a loving son that she loved dearly. And that she on her birthday instructed him, Oscar Grant, to catch the BART train and then she had to experience this tragedy. We have a daughter, my niece, Oscar’s daughter, who right now pains for her daddy and shares this emotion; being in a car and seeing a police officer she will say to the other young cousins of hers, ‘Duck, policeman.’ It shows just how heinous and egregious this murder has afflicted the children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>How is Oscar Grant’s mother feeling?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My sister, Oscar’s mother, wants to know, ‘Where’s the accountability?’ When do people of color, simple families, receive justice? And there’s many across the U.S., we’re not the only family that’s experienced this. She’s hurt. She’s pained, and the thought of him being released is hurtful. And it happens at a time when my father’s hospitalized. So we have to suffer his pain and then reflect on what happened to Oscar. It’s not healthy. It’s painful.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/06/MehserleDodd.mp3\">\u003cem>LISTEN TO MEHSERLE FAMILY FRIEND BILL DODD ON MEHSERLE’S IMPENDING RELEASE\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Without a doubt he’s done his time and this is what the justice system has put forth. And I just hope that he can somehow have some sort of quality life when he gets out of jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">People who are upset about this think Johannes is a big winner in this; I’ve got news for them: I don’t think he’s going to be a big winner in this.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I coached Johannes when he was a young man in sports and I see his parents every once in awhile. I’ve written to him. Have not received anything in return. So I really don’t have any peronsal knowldge about how he’s doing. I know he’s a very resilient young man and I imagine that life was tough when he was in and my guess is that it’ll be tough when he gets out. Certainly, my opinion is that he’s lost his career in law enforcement; he’s got a young child, and I worry that he won’t be able to have a quality life when he gets out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>Do you see a life for him in the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s in doubt as well. I’ve not spoken directly with his parents about those specifics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>Have you spoken to his parents about his release?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve not spoken to them. But knowing them the way I do I can imagine they’re elated at having their son back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What did you write in the letter to Mehserle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I just know Johannes, and my guess is there isn’t a day that goes by he doesn’t think about Oscar Grant.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I told him to be strong, just trying to put a human touch to it. He’s acknowledged, Johannes’ parents have acknowledged, there are no winners in this thing. I’m sure Oscar Grant’s family says Oscar doesn’t get to come back and that’s a tragedy in itself. Once again there are no winners, and people who are upset about this think Johannes is a big winner in this; I’ve got news for them: I don’t think he’s going to be a big winner in this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What do you think about the planned protests?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frankly, if you take the history of policemen having these types of things, you can also say that it was an injustice that he ever spent a day in jail. But, this is what our court system has said, and that’s what happened, and I think as people in American society, we have to sometimes understand that our system, albeit imperfect, is the best in the world, and I would hope and pray and ask for restraint on everybody’s part. I just think that it’s certainly a time for family and friends and supporters to remember Oscar Grant, but I would hope that it wouldn’t result in widespread violence and those types of things that have happened in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What would you say to Mehserle if you saw him if he came home?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">He’s a good human being and he’s spent his time. They may not like how much time he’s spent, but he did what’s required under the law. Let him live his life. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>I just know Johannes, the way I know him, my guess is that there isn’t a day that goes by that he doesn’t think about Oscar Grant. He’s never told me that, but just the way I know him and how thoughtful a human being he really is, I would just try to lend support as opposed to giving him advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>Are you in the camp that thinks he should not have spent a day in jail? \u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s hard. When you take a look at the law and special circumstances for a gun in the commission of a crime, well he’s a policeman so he carried a gun. I think that whole thing was equally confusing for both sides. There’s people in the middle that are confused too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not that I don’t have any empathy for Oscar Grant’s family. There’s no winners in this. He doesn’t get to come home. I feel so bad that there’s been so much pain in the Mehserle family and the Grant family. I just pray that it doesn’t result in property and people getting arrested and huge negativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-style: normal\">\u003cstrong>What would you like people to remember about Mehserle?\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s an excellent human being. I have never ever known him to be angry and aggressive. And I just think it was an unfortunate horrible circumstance that put him and Oscar Grant in this situation. There’s some awfully angry people out there. When I spoke up for Johannes at the very beginning of this, I got threats as well. I worry for him and just hope that people will remember that he is a human being, he’s a good human being, and he’s spent his time. They may not like how much time he’s spent, but he did what’s required under the law, and let him live his life.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The more contemporary prediction is being made on radio and on billboards all around the country by \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=harold+camping\">Harold Camping\u003c/a>, the 89-year old president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.familyradio.com/index2.html\">Family Radio Network\u003c/a>, based in Oakland. (You can \u003ca href=\"http://www.familyradio.com/flashTrue/findBandwidth.htm\">listen to the station\u003c/a> here.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Camping and his prediction have been all over the \u003ca href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=harold+camping\">news\u003c/a>, more so as we hurtle headlong toward the fateful day. Camping doesn’t foresee the end of the world, per se; he believes what we’re actually going to experience is \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture\">The Rapture\u003c/a>, a central event in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture\">Christian eschatology\u003c/a> supposedly heralding the return of Jesus Christ. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This belief generally holds that those who have been “saved” will be swept up to Heaven, as unbelievers are left on earth to suffer a cataclysmic period known as the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulation\">Tribulation\u003c/a>. The wildly popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.leftbehind.com/\">\u003cem>Left Behind\u003c/em>\u003c/a> book series deals with these events, and many Christian broadcasters reference them constantly, though very few, if any, have ventured exact dates. (Camping once before went out on a limb, predicting the end would come Sept. 4, 1994. That prognostication, as one newspaper put it, was “erroneous.”)\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nFamily Radio, apparently, has been profiting from Camping’s warning. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/top-stories/ci_18089432\">Contra Costa Times\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Judgment Day is fabulous for business. Just ask Family Radio, the evangelical nonprofit that has plastered billboards and driven vans across the Bay Area and the world proclaiming the end of the world will be Saturday. The Oakland-based nonprofit has raised more than $100 million over the past seven years, according to tax returns. It owns 66 radio stations across the globe and was worth more than $72 million in 2009. As The End nears, donations have spiked, a board member says, enabling Family Radio to spend millions of dollars on more than 5,000 billboards.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2011/LIVING/03/06/judgment.day.caravan/index.html\">reports\u003c/a> abound of people who have been seriously preparing for the End, giving away their worldly possessions, taking to the road to spread the word. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Stephanie Martin yesterday talked to Pastor Jacob Denys of \u003ca href=\"http://www.calvarybiblechurch.us/\">Calvary Bible Church\u003c/a> in Milpitas.

Camping doesn’t foresee the end of the world, per se; he believes what we’re actually going to experience is \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture\">The Rapture\u003c/a>, a central event in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture\">Christian eschatology\u003c/a> supposedly heralding the return of Jesus Christ. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This belief generally holds that those who have been “saved” will be swept up to Heaven, as unbelievers are left on earth to suffer a cataclysmic period known as the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulation\">Tribulation\u003c/a>. The wildly popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.leftbehind.com/\">\u003cem>Left Behind\u003c/em>\u003c/a> book series deals with these events, and many Christian broadcasters reference them constantly, though very few, if any, have ventured exact dates.

It owns 66 radio stations across the globe and was worth more than $72 million in 2009.
