Oscar Grant III
I decided to join this site in memory of Oscar....R.I.P.
I knew Oscar through my Ex he was about 17-18 at the time..... I am older than he was and it hurts more to know he didn't even began to live life....yet he touched so many!!!!he was always smiling :) We would have BBQ'S, water fights, ect, everyone used to hang out and have fun in this one complex.
What has happened to him is wrong...it saddens me every time they show his picture on the news. Whatever the outcome you can't bring someone back and I am making myself numb wondering why? WHY? And they still don't want to answer, maybe due to guilt !!!!
It's never going to stop and that's what is sad, not that I don't have "Faith" but the devil likes to play and the world is his playground. 3 deaths of young people I knew in this past year a girl I knew from middle school was found dead naked on the side of the road in Oakland of unknown cause, my best friends EX was shot 10 times in Oct and passed at the end of the month R.I.P Germaine and Oscar!!! You know it's bad enough to know that there are people out there as citizens just killing each other....but the law...not as though it was a surprise because I have seen it all before. It just hurts and brings tears how many people are COLD, RUTHLESS, LOVELESS.....and I pray for my enemies!!!

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.

This poem is dedicated to Oscar Grant and the other Oscar Grant’s
Bullets piercing the bodies of my people,
I thought the constitution said we are all equal.
Puppets in this world voicing our sad stories,
Eyeballs filled with sanction killings by police sissies.
When will the shooting stop from the hired guns,
Good men die while marksmen freely run.
Mothers hanging on to the last breath of there child,
Minutes go by and she grows more, wild.
Murders are banging Her heart to death,
Riots seem old, it outgrows the poor, and defiles.
Bigots were crushed by the hands of peaceful men,
Cries didn’t come from guns, but from there mouth and pen.
Lead an army of soldiers with guns and rocks, and we will be crushed,
Because violence begets violence, when we are rushed.
Heal our broken hearts with sage and gospel song,
The real ordeal is to fix the pain of wrong.
Forgive and forget, seems to far fetch,
But I promise, you,
Brother Killing Brother, Sister Killing Sister,
Others shooting others to enact revenge,
Its like rhyme with no reason, it doesn’t end.
I want to thank Paradise, for being my inspiration. I hope that our words reach Oakland, and we can be there for them, and heal, organize, and do things the right way. Because you and I know, riots are what the oppressor wants. It gives them a reason to oppress. Destroy the violence, and they have no tools against us.
Peace and Love
