Haven't seen much about this here other than Sanjuro's post in the PAWN. I think it deserves more attention but if a mod want to move it, fine.
There were violent riots in Oakland last night in protest of the shooting of Oscar Grant.

"A protest over the fatal shooting by a BART police officer of an unarmed man mushroomed into several hours of violence Wednesday night as demonstrators smashed storefronts and cars, set several cars ablaze and blocked streets in downtown Oakland.
The roving mob expressed fury at police and frustration over society's racial injustice. Yet the demonstrators were often indiscriminate, frequently targeting the businesses and prized possessions of people of color."
