Accoding to today's KTVU-TV (Channel Two ) news at Noon Mehserle will released Monday 6/13 Not Sunday 6/12 .(Which makes sense because except for very rare occasions Court hearings are never held on weekends )
If so Wouldn't it make sense to postpone the rally and march until Monday ? Aside from the symbolism of responding on the actual day of Brother Grants's murderer's being freed Far more people would witness our rally/march on Monday .
Downtown Oakland is deserted on Sundays.
