Take me out to the BRAWL-game, take me out to the CROWD!

I'm an Oakland Raider fan who found it painful enough watching on TV as the rival 49ers took apart my team during last Saturday night's pre-season game at Candlestick Park in San Francisco...having to remind myself this was just practice!

 

Little did I know the REAL pain came from what the FANS were practicing in the stands, the bathrooms, and the parking lots! 

 

More than a handful of violent brawls and a shooting left several folks injured, three very seriously, with one man still in life-threatening condition...all of which led to 39 justified arrests, and a good chance the NFL may cancel this annual pre-season game.

 

Like thousands of others, I checked out the internet replays on YouTube, watching two women punch each other out, an old gray-haired man shove a younger man back down three rows of seats, a few other sustained brawls between Raider and 49er fans flayling away clad in rival jerseys, with sparce security, and young children looking on!

 

"What in the hell is going on here?"  I mean, sure...this is nothing new! Violence has cast itself on most sports, and not just in America but world wide.

 

 Check out the international history of sports violence and you'll find it all...beating deaths, mass stampedes, riots and murdered soccer referees--making what happened in San Francisco look tame!

 

However, it should not sway the arguement that something has got to be done, right HERE and right NOW!!

 

These lastest incidents have sparked another huge fire of controversy, just as the Bay Area was starting to simmer down after the "Brian Stow" incident in April, where an upstanding Giants fan (a paramedic no less) was nearly beaten to death in Los Angeles on opening day at Dodger Stadium.

 

Perhaps we should look to the past for possible solutions. Did fans drink and party as much before and during games back then?  What was security like at stadiums 40 years ago?  Probably much the same as today, with no secret security measures, just less people to secure!

 

I do remember watching my first live pro football game on September 3rd, 1967 at the Oakland Coliseum as the upstart Raiders lost to John Brody and the 49ers 13-10 in their first EVER meeting to close out that pre-season.

 

I saw no fights, altlhough there were probably lots of security guards, lots of beer, and just as many rowdy fans in an environment similiar to all the other NFL and AFL stadiums back then, confronted with controlling violence between rival fans in the stands!

 

 It was interesting to remember who the big team bosses were 44-years ago!  John Rauch coached the Raiders, Jack Christianson coached the 49ers, and then ONLY part-owner and lowly general manager Al Davis had just celebrated his 38th birthday 2-months before.

 

I think even big Al, and thousands more would agree with me now that security should be stepped-UP significantly in a coordinated, well-thought out way....taking into account the realization (and I agree with this) that the majority of Bay Area fans are good people, and it is just the few ignorant, stupid, low-life, substance abusing, drunkard, socially crippled bullies out looking for trouble--THAT CAUSE IT!

 

Finally, here's one last security measure idea, and  I thought this up myself!  Let's call it the "sophisticated fan liazon screen" and place it at every stadium entrance gate, equipped with state-of-the-art, hygenically safe breathalizer testing hoses.

 

Every fan over the age of 12 MUST submit to a quick alcohol breath test,  and answer an eye-to-eye question by a designated security screener. Those failing either test...don't get in!  They can re-sell their ticket on the way out!

 

I know this may take time and big bucks to impliment, however, imagine adding this ENTRANCE SCREEN to already upgrated security, and decreased selling of alcohol...and I think parents would find it safe to take the kids to the big game again!

Two Men Arrested In the Oakland Body Burning Case

This is a cold blooded world now days. On July 14, 2011 Monica Rodas from Union City body was found burning in the street of Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland. This was the act of cold blooded individuals, to set a body on fire and throw it on to the street like a piece of trash. Oakland Homicide investigators have been questioning the two men about the murder. I feel so sad for Monica Rodas two year old son, his mother will not get to see him son grow up. I sure hope they got the right men who done this heinous act. These two individuals need to be off the streets so this will not happen to anyone else by these two evil individuals.

"GIVE IT UP"...AL.

Image via Wikipedia

Before taking the plunge to join the multitude of Al Davis haters campaigning for his retirement or death, which ever comes first for the Oakland Raiders team owner--you must know a few facts about this writer.

I became a die-hard Raider fan in the Summer of 1967, just prior to entering the 4th grade, a month after Al's 38th birthday, upon which he'd graduated from the team's head coach and general manager, to bying highly into its ownership group.  

Back then he was the savior-genius, both of the Raiders, and, of the National Football League...helping push through the AFL-NFL merger--much responsible for the league's billion-dollar success today!

 Those first 20 years I watched the Raiders win 75-percent of their games, sweating, bleeding and weeping through the agony of close-call championship game losses, to miracle comebacks, to the ecstasy

of winning three Superbowl Championships...which helped vault King Davis into the Pro Football Hall of Fame!

Amazingly, the King could have won more Super Bowl rings, but things rapidly turned sour when Davis began spending more time in legal court, manuevering lawyers to bury his enemies, then on managing his team's throne, and leading the Raiders to victory!

Hence, the Raiders winning percentage shrunk almost as fast as Davis's popularity, alienating him from the press, the league, and many of the fans, myself not included.  Somehow I stayed loyal, even through these past seven losing seasons!(Finally going 8-8 this year)

I guess I've just always compared  Al Davis to money, in that, people talk about him all the time, without Al ever having to say a word...at least not publically.

But, unlike money, the talk about Al rarely rewards his raw reputation these days which ranges from selfish, egotistical, maniacal, vindictive tyrant....to mysterious, innovative, brilliant genius!

I always seemed hell-bent on defending him by using those latter definitions, but following his latest stunt at a rare press conference this week to promoting his hiring of new head coach Hue Jackson, even I see Mr. Davis as he actually looks...damn old at age 81!

During Wednesdays press conference in Alameda, Al spent more time blow-torching Tom Cable's reputation (The head coach he fired) than on promoting incoming Jackson!

Al bashed Cable in order to explain why he held back $120,000 of the ex-coach's paycheck, a ploy used  to protect the Raiders from possible legal costs from suits aimed at Cable while he was at the helm.

Now, Cable wants his money, and I think he should get it!  But, NO!  Davis will fight him to the end in court...and most lilely win.  You see?  It's more of the same court time and legal maneuvering!

The same thing happened when Davis short changed Lane Kiffin a few pay checks after Al fired him in 2008...and Kiffin lost in court trying to get his money! 

The same thing happened in 1988 when Al fired Coach Mike Shanahan and docked him $200,000 in salary for skipping to the rival Denver Broncos. (Shanahan never got paid, but did manage to boat-race the Raiders in 90-percent of their games over the next 7-years!)

The same thing happened a few years earlier, when Davis benched and black-balled his superstar Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen for some mysterious mis-deed that Allen crossed King Davis with.

Whatever it was, Marcus never played against the best defenses in the league, who openly and publically feared having to stop Allen on the field, but never had to because King AL wouldn't allow it!

Allen was eventually traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, and helped them face-pump the Raiders in 80-percent of their games for another 7-years, instead of helping the Raiders win a few more Super Bowls just as he did in 1984!

And of course, the same thing happened with more, mega-court time and legal maneuvering that beat Commissioner Pete Rozelle and the NFL..allowing the Raiders to move to Los Angeles after the 1981 season. 

They did return to Oakland in 1995, but during those 13-years down south, Davis spent too much time fighting the LA Coliseum Commission, mostly in court again, and things just never really panned out in LA, other than the one World Championship.

That was the Raiders last hurrah, January 22nd, 1984!  A 38-9 pummeling of the Washington Redskins in Tampa Florida at Super Bowl 18--27 years ago TOMORROW!! 

When will those glory days return for the Raiders?  Does big AL have to die or step aside?  Can the new head coach Hue Jackson spark new winning ways?

Perhaps he can, however, I feel it will take the current "BossMan" Mr. Al Davis to eitherstep down, or step aside and leave the vindication of his enemies to younger souls.

Then, and only then will the Silver and Black lay new claim to "Pride and Poise", and a 'Committment to Excellence' that we of the true Raider Nation so passionatly miss.

Step aside a while, Al....and GO RAIDERS!!

Thanks, and stay logged on to www.Streetwisesd.com

JOHANNES MEHSERLE SENTENCE

Image via Wikipedia

The sentencing of Johannes Mehserle did not surprise me one bit. This
kind of injustice against people of color has been going on for centuries.
Johannes Mehserle gets sentenced to two years and is going to serve only
seventy two days. Really! Taking a mans life is not as important as
killing a dog. Michael Vick had to serve twenty three months for his
crime. What in the heck is wrong with our justice system. Just because
Mehserle was a police officer he got away with taking a life. Police
officers all over this country have been taking lives and getting away
with it. I say that's bull crap! People get sentenced to prison for years
for doing drugs, their not hurting anyone but themselves. Know wonder
people of color in the cities all over America don't like or trust law
enforcement.

What happened at the Bart station in Oakland California happens more
often then people want to believe, I say to those non believers, people
take the blinders off and wake the heck up.This could have happened to
anybody of color, and it will continue to happen as long as we have cops
like Johannes Mehserle on police forces all over this country. People I
know are always getting harassed by the police just because of the color
of their skin. Oscar Grant was face down and was not resisting arrest ,
but yet he's dead. I feel Mehserle meant to shoot Grant he knew darn well
the difference between his gun and his tasser. Johannes Mehserle is lying
and he knows it and God knows it and he will have to face what he did
one. Johannes Mehserle and all police officers who have taking a life
unjustly, know the saying "do on to others as you would have them do
on to you."

OAKLAND COULD BE THE FIRST CITY TO MARIJUANA GROWING OPERATIONS

OAKLAND COULD BE THE FIRST CITY TO MARIJUANA GROWING OPERATIONS




I have been saying they need to legalize Marijuana for years. All the illegal Marijuana operations that have been raided and all that Marijuana being burned, It does not make since, that billions of dollars is going up in smoke. On July 12, 2010 police raided a Marijuana growing operation in San Francisco and Richmond California. This bust is said to have a street value of  about $350,000.


This country is hurting  financially I think Oakland has the right idea.
If Oakland’s council votes this through this would mean jobs, that are so badly needed. I don’t think the illegal pot growers should benefit anymore, it’s about time to legalize Marijuana just like they did alcohol 1933. I think the powers to be, the Government need to get the stick out of their A.. and legalize Marijuana.

OAKLAND GEARING UP FOR THE MEHSERLE VERDICT

OAKLAND GEARING UP FOR THE MEHSERLE VERDICT

As the Mehserle verdict looms over all of our heads, cities are preparing for civil unrest if the verdict goes in favor of Mehserle. I was watching the news the other day they were showing the police in Oakland with riot gear doing exercises on crowd control. They are setting up stage areas with Police, Fire and Medical personal. It would be great if the Oakland surprised everyone and behaved civilly. I know this is wishful thinking.

It’s really sad that in 2010, that we still have police officers killing or beating citizens for no apparent reason. No wonder citizens get mad and destroy property and lash out at the police. I’m not saying their justified in doing this, but come on! It’s all the years of frustration.

People are sick and tried of how the police get away with murder and beating innocent people. I my opinion Mehserle is guilty of  First Degree Murder no less than Second Degree Murder. If he gets off with voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter or innocent of all charges, it’s going to be bad.

Another Historic Murder Trial Gets Under Way

Image via Wikipedia

Another historic murder trial gets under way this week in Los Angeles., however, this case was moved there from Oakland, California due to over-heated Bay Area publicity. Like the O.J. and Rodney King saga's, it involves a controversial police action, and racial elements that could lead to violence, depending on the outcome.

On New Years Eve 2009, 28-year old  BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle, who is white, shot and killed 22-year old Oscar Grant, who was black during a group scuffle at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland, California, and this time the tragedy was captured on video by an array of witnesses using cell phone cameras!

Guilt or innocence could actually depend on what this video or pictures reveals!  Did Mehserle intentionally shoot Grant in the back, or was he really just trying to shock the suspect with his Taser gun...and simply pulled the wrong trigger? Simply?  I don't think any part of this trial will be simple!

For instance, a final piece of evidence was turned over just this morning.  It was a photograph taken by Grant just moments before he was shot....and it shows Mehserle aiming his Taser at Grant. What happens after this snapshot....is the focus of the whole case!  If it is allowed as evidence, will this photo reveal that Mehserle knew full well where his stun gun was, in relation to where his revolver was?

Prosecutors say that Mehserle, who is the first Bay Area police officer ever charged with murder for an off-duty action, acted with malice when he shot the un-armed Grant in the back while trying to arrest him. The defense counters that Mehserle accidentally pulled the trigger on his revolver, while intending to just stun Grant with his Taser gun instead.

Neither side agrees on another critical question.... whether or not Grant resisted officer Mehserle prior to the shooting.  Prosecutors will try to prove that Grant had intense fear of being shocked, and thus saw the Taser being pointed at him, and yielded.

Mehserle's attorney Michael Rains, alledges that video shows Grant struggling to avoid being cuffed by his client, causing him to resort to the stun gun, and also that past incidents reveal Grant's tendency to resist  Police officers..

My own impressions may be swayed by the fact I know and have previously worked with the victim's mother in Hayward, California, Grant's hometown.  His mother supervised a UPS warehouse which I delivered packages to and from over the years.

Which ever way this trial ends, I fear the un-imaginable pain she has endured will surely be re-kindled the longer it drags on, knowing that no matter what the verdict....nothing brings back her son Oscar! My heart and my prayers have been with her for the past 17-months.

Still, I was satisfied to hear about the efforts of Dion Evans, an East Bay church leader and radio host who gathered many other community activists to enlighten authorities on the need for this trial.  "The people decided, we're not going to allow something like this to occur again", said Evans.

A different sentiment comes from police officers around the state who are concerned that a fellow cop could go to prison for making a mistake under difficult conditions.  One can't help but wonder how difficult...or not, the conditions may be for Mehserle, now on trial in front of a jury with no black members!

Nevertheless, Judge Robert Perry will allow this jury to hear racially slurred statements by former BART officer Anthony Pirone, who also detained Grant along side Mehserle prior to the shooting.  Pirone shouted at Grant: "Bitch-ass n--, right! Bitch-ass n--, right!"  Prosecuters believe Mehserle overheard this exchange, and it may have contributed to his actions.

The judge will also allow Grant's girlfriend to testify that she spoke briefly to him before the shooting, and that he sounded scarred while claiming he was being beaten for no reason.  The judge is also allowing both sides to introduce their own synchronizations of video footage from multiple angles...despite claims that some footage was botched.

Finally, while the evidence is unique in this case, the verdict may render violent public responses, so, the Oakland Police Department, who have already quelled one previous riot, are making plans to deal with any violent acts should Mehserle be acquitted.

Perhaps the police in Los Angeles should make similar plans!  Remember what happened after the Rodney King trial....not that long ago?

Thanks, and stay safe.

Sincerely, PeteCam4

OAKLAND TEACHER WALK OUT

OAKLAND TEACHER WALK OUT

People say our children are our future. What’s going on in Oakland school district, is nothing new. This has been going on all over the country for years. Teachers walking out because they have not had a raise in years or working without a contract. How are our children supposed to get the education they need, when teachers are walking out.

I feel for the teachers, because it’s hard enough to make ends meet on a teachers salary, let alone not getting a raise with the cost of living going up. How are our teachers all over this country supposed to go to work and give our children a good education  when they are fed up. Not giving a hundred percent to our children is not acceptable. Something needs to be done about this crisis, because if not then the future of our children is at stake. If that means higher taxes then so be it, because our future is in the hands of our youth.

PG&E SMART METER

Image by Kevin via Flickr

If you live in California, you will be getting PG&E’s Smart Meter. PG an E will be installing smart meter’s to every dwelling and business in California and you don’t have a choice. Customers in the Bakersfield Fresno and all over the Central Valley had the smart meter installed last summer and they are not happy. They went to State Senator Dean Florez and complained about how their bills were outrageously high now, even though their doing everything exactly the same. Senator Florez told CBS 5

Investigates: “I think PG an E has been less than truthful.” About What? The explanations Senator Florez said, the company gave some of those customers, such as telling them their old meters just weren’t as accurate as the smart meters. “There’s no doubt that PG an E has lied to its customers when it comes to replacing the old meters with the new meters and somehow saying the old meters were defective,” Florez said. Ok here we go again if the old meters are so defective, why? has PG an E kept the old meters around since 1905 when it was founded. I say this is a big utility trying to stick it to the consumer again. PG an E knows we don’t have a choice. If everyone is dependent on gas and electricity, then PG an E can install these smart meters and that’s  that. When our bills become outrageously high, and we complain I hope the government steps in and investigates PG an E. It’s going to be a sad situation when people can’t afford to pay there bill and there PG an E gets turned off. I have not had the smart meter installed yet, but it’s coming next month, you can best believe I will be monitoring my bill every closely. Consumers if your bill is outrageously high after the smart meter is installed complain to your government officials, if they get enough complaints PG an E will hopefully be investigated.

Tiger Woods

Image via Wikipedia

85 days after his early-morning car crash and subsequent blockbuster sex scandal, Tiger Woods apologized to the world Friday morning, with a 14-minute televised speech, that offered a mixed bag of reactions.

One trend saw men to be more forgiving than woman!  ABC's George Stephanopoulos called Tiger's speech "one of the most remarkable apologies ever by a public figure". CBS's David Feherty agreed, saying, "I've never seen him appear so vulnerable...I was very impressed with what he said".

TMZ's Harvey Levin Twittered that, "Tiger's speech hit the high notes in a big way", while Donald Trump was actually disappointed Woods even apologized, telling 'Forbes'..."I hate seeing Tiger apologize.  I'd rather watch him win golf tournaments and have a great life".

However, commentary from female viewers was much more cynical.  Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren sharply criticized the speech, saying: "Tiger Woods telling the media to be good and responsible to his wife...he's telling OTHERS to be good to his wife?  Maybe HE should have been".

'Jezebel.Com' praised Tiger's defending his wife, but questioned his motives for apology, saying, "this--and his now-notorious failings...make it hard to believe anything he says".  Other notable women claim this was Tiger's ploy to save sponsors, and that his robotic, forced body-language made him seem NOT sorry at all.

Upon listening to San Francisco's all-sports radio station KNBR-680, I heard co-hosts Ralph Barbieri and Tom Tolbert comment that Tiger looked as if he practiced the speech in the mirror, and that perhaps he rehearsed both his voice inflections, and how to play to to the camera.

Personally, I do NOT completely concur, however, before offering my reaction.(On my Birthday no less!)... I'll even include a response from one of my closest friends. He offers that since Tiger's wife Elin didn't show-up, she will probably never be intimate with him again....and, since he can't be with anyone else because of this mess, Tiger must now face a life of celibacy!

I told my friend that he MAY BE stretching it a bit!  I actually listened to the speech on car-radio first, and then ran inside to rewind my DVR recorder and watch it on TV. From both perceptions, Tiger basically sold me!

What he did say WAS written-out first, however, there was sincerity in his voice for all 14-minutes.! He seemed to hold nothing back, and left no part of what he truly needed to be sorry for... out there drifting in the wind.

 He not only brought everything  to the table regarding his infidelities, he also apologized to everyone, including those so very important youngsters who look up to him.

Often trembling and stumbling, Tiger revealed an imperfection that was refreshing,  if not more believable....thus making his defense of wife Elin, and the denial of any performance enhancing drug use, even more convincing.

Not only did Tiger assume ALL the blame for EVERYTHING he did wrong, he shared a solid plan for a life cure following a long, therapeutic and clinical battle, which he vows to endure to the bitter end.

He also affirmed the dire need to forever live by the same standards and boundaries as we all do, begging in one  final plea...that we "come to believe in him again", one day!

As for the future of his marriage and family, that is something he and Elin need to work out alone between themselves, as he put it. I for ONE, wish them success, and hope you will too...on further thought.

After all, the bottom line is...doesn't everyone deserve that often-mentioned second chance, even Tiger Woods?  I think he does!

Thanks, and stay informed on Streetwisesd.com

CRIME WAVE IN THE CITY OF VALLEJO

CRIME WAVE IN THE CITY OF VALLEJO

When I was a growing up, I remember going to Vallejo to visit relatives it was all ways a fun time. There was no violence that I was aware of, not like today. The economy is hitting the City of Vallejo hard, with the cities budget issues they had to lay off dozens of officers. Crime in Vallejo is up, in the past two weeks they have had assaults and shootings.

Just last Wednesday February 3, 2010 six  men attacked and robbed a Vallejo city worker, how dumb were these six men it was all caught on tape. There’s no getting away with it, I hope they do serious time we do not need punks like that on the streets. On Thursday afternoon February 4.

2010 a 15 year old boy shot a ice cream lady, while attempting to rob her.

I don’t know what this kid was thinking or he wasn’t thinking he probably just got $50.00 or less now his life is ruined. On February 8, 2010 a 42 year old  man was shot outside of his home. The people of Vallejo are scared their calling about security alarms and weapons. I think the City of Vallejo is going to have to get together with the community and come up with some kind of solution to this problem. It is ashamed to hear about Vallejo being so violent, when I remember it being so fun back in the day.
