Comments on: On Oscar Grant… http://www.randombabble.com/2009/01/14/on-oscar-grant/ exactly that Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:32:57 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ouyang Dan http://www.randombabble.com/2009/01/14/on-oscar-grant/#comment-1771 Ouyang Dan Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:10:53 +0000 http://randombabble.com/?p=1332#comment-1771 That is why I, as well as most of the people who I have seen covering this, chose to use executioner. As a cop, his job isn't to execute a punishment. He executed a man, an <b>innocent</b> man in cold blood, in front of hundreds of people. Shot him face down in the back, execution style. I don't know what else to call it. That is what we call that type of murder, in the legal sense, when someone is brutally shot in that manner. I completely agree. My choice of words was deliberate. If you click through to the article I linked, Pam Spaulding uses the same wording. That is why I, as well as most of the people who I have seen covering this, chose to use executioner.

I don’t think justice can ever be served in a situation like this.</i> I'm sure you don't mean to sound he was just doing his job but I don't think he should be called an executioner. To me that makes it sound like what he was doing was legal and needed to be done. This person needs to have all the negativity pushed on him as possible. He should be refered to as a murderer.

Atm there is a die-in going on at city hall, just started, I can hear the helicopters outside. I don't know why I'm not feeling going out there right now. I'm sad about the whole thing, but so far at least the Oakland Police department is handling things well I think, they arrested him on murder charges today. That makes me happy. But if something goes wrong, I will be out there. And I'm sure they know we've all got our eyes on them... I posted on it at my place of course, hell, I live here.
