To go to Sacramento means loss of a day’s pay – often a loss of job. this is a very effective way to beat down poor and oppressed people, who do not have the time to prosecute their cases.

Those expressing shame were only responsible for part of the vandalism though, Unger said. "They couldn't have been more remorseful," King said. "They expressed how disturbed they were that they had disrespected the legacy of (the) Black Panther Party and the West Oakland community," Unger said in an email Tuesday.
