An email sent this morning to all Peralta Colleges Student and Staff forwarded to me by an administrator at Laney. Laney College students were a big part of the disruption last time.

To: Peralta Colleges Students and Staff

From: Wise E. Allen, Chancellor
Subject: Mehserle Verdict Planning
__________________________________________________ ________________________

As you know, the trial of former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle is coming to a close in Los Angeles. A verdict is expected soon.

I wanted to write students and staff of the Peralta Community College District to advise you of our planning for when the verdict is announced and, if needed, to prepare for the possible cancellation of classes and closure of facilities.
It is anticipated that demonstrations will occur within our service area regardless of the verdict reached by the jury. Some of these demonstrations could turn violent, and it is the District’s primary responsibly to protect students and staff should this take place.
With our primary concern being the safety of our students and staff, it may be necessary to cancel classes and close one or more of our colleges (Berkeley City College, College of Alameda, Laney College, Merritt College) and/or the district office. Students and staff will be notified should this take place, but I wanted to give you as much notice as possible that cancellation/closure may be necessary.
Should I decide that the situation requires cancellation/closure, students and staff will be notified by email, text message and notices posted to Peralta’s Website. Students will be told which classes are cancelled and when they will restart. Should staff be dismissed, you will be informed when you should resume your regularly scheduled workday. Please note that some staff may be needed for core functions or called upon to perform emergency operations functions. Your supervisor will provide you with guidance should this occur.

We will continue to keep you updated and I encourage you to check with your instructor, department head or supervisor – and monitor Peralta’s Website and the news media – for the latest developments. Please contact Vice Chancellor Sadiq Ikharo if you have any questions or concerns, but, as in the past, I believe the Peralta Family will do all that it can to ensure our safety and that of our students.

I know it will be very hard not being the majority, oh wait.

Rioting only leads to more of the same. Too bad people don't get that.

This whole thing is a big mess, doesnt surprise me that the kooky bay area is host to it.

just like rodney with la.

The saddest part is there are simply to polar stances.

A-Oscar was murdered in cold blood
B - Mehserle should walk free and given a medal

What else is new in kooky california. Land of extreme wing nuts on either side.

Well not all of them have been lying. I mean the claim that the Earth is 6,000 is TOTALLY accurate. But yeah, all that other stuff is bogus.

There's a Flobots song about that.

Yup. Oakland will always have a reputation as an area that is always primed to explode in violence.
