My parents did raise me to be decent and I am. I am not perfect, but I was not commenting on perfect. I am involved in education and help children and their families every day. Do some research and look at Oscar Grant's background and what HE did and inflicted on others. His actions in no way should suggest that murder was the answer, but clearly his upbringing contributed to his downfall. Your Jesus answer is a cop-out Ms. O. At some point, we (including Oscar) are responsible for our own actions. Oscar made a long series of bad choices and eventually ended up where he was on that night.

Wanda Johnson needed to spend less time talking to Jesus and more time raising a law abiding, decent human being for a son. All those men that stood behind her at the press conference....why weren't they there to help Oscar become a decent young man?
