Signs that it is Going to Be a Long Bloody Summer.

4.17.08 Oakland, CA

Gas riots (these haven't happened yet, but it's a matter of time).

The Sean Bell verdict.

The videotape of twelve Philadelphia police beating three black men.

These are all signs that this will be a long, hot,
bloody summer.

The videotaped beatings of three restrained men by several members of the Philadelphia police force were inexcusable but had nothing to do with race, the city's mayor and police commissioner said Thursday.

The police don't have an easy job. Infact, I would
imagine they are terrified. The streets are hungry.
Cats ain't eatin' and it seems that everyone has a gat.
It's Combustible.

What an incredible thing to recognize.
