1. Wait for it...

Feinstein won't say a single word about denying parole for repeat violent offenders.

:argh:

2. It shouldn't be a political forum at all, IMHO

I hope she keeps the focus on the officers, their service, and their families and loved ones.

5. Sen. Barbara Boxer speaking now

Quoting MLK on returning violence with violence, and the officers "keeping darkness away from our families."

6. Sen. Dianne Feinstein at the podium now

Speaking about each officer's service. One officer donate his organs.

8. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger now speaking

Very touching words of support to the families.

7. I'm surprised the Phelps KKKult hasn't made an appearance.

You know, Oakland being so close to that "modern day Sodom" and all, God must really hate the place. :eyes:

9. The Phelpsoids picket an arena filled with angry cops?

Even Fred himself isn't that crazy.

[Sebastian Doyle]

That's what I said when I heard they were going to start picketing military funerals

I think Fred would love to have martyrs for his fucked up "cause" actually. He really IS that crazy :crazy:

10. Commander Ed Tracy of the Oakland PD at the podium

This is really hitting him hard. The officers were his men.

11. They do not have the balls to show up in Oakland. the city where most of my family resides,

and where I was born. Oakland is struggling with violence right now just like most of the metropolitan areas in this country.
