Looking at the Mehserle trial from New York

In the last few days, I was in the streets of New York and it was interesting to see how much news the East Coast is receiving about the murder trial of Johannes Mehserle, the trigger-pulling cop who killed Oscar Grant. Virtually everybody that I ran into had seen the murder on television in passing, but no one had any facts about the murder or what was going on minute by minute.

As a matter of fact, most people’s first question was “How did that case go?” because of the corporate media white-out on the everyday resistance to the murder of Oscar Grant, police terrorism and government sanctioned violence that was going on in Northern and Southern Cali, which is where Mehserle’s murder trial was moved.
