LA-IMC reporter outside the court house reports an angry response from the crowd gathered there. About 35 protesters still there at this time, others headed to a rally at Leimert Park scheduled for 5:00 pm.
Crowd outside expressed outrage at what they felt was too light a verdict. Protesters there do not believe that Mehserle’s actions were involuntary.
Protest meeting now at Leimert Park.
I got there late, and there were a lot of speakers. Only recorded this one woman who was the mother of someone killed by LAPD. I believe the victims' name was Ronald Wilkins. Correct me if I'm wrong. Her's was a pretty messed up story, with police harassment.
There were around 100-150 people at the event. Lots of speakers, who i didn't catch on camera. BRLP was there of course - they just got raided by the LAPD, probably related to today's events. Ron Gochez the immigration activist was there. There's video out there. Hope people post their own.
