...but part of me is balking at the idea of the family of the man getting it.

If a huge chunk of public transit money is going to be redirected because of another senseless shooting death in Oakland, then I would rather see most of it going to helping *all* of the families affected by violent death in the city this year.

'Cause really, many of those other folks were just as undeserving of being shot as Mr. Grant, but their survivors aren't 'lucky' enough to have a funded agency to sue.

Actually, I would really like it to see it going toward addressing the issues that lead to fights and shootings, but we seem to live in a society more concerned with payback and blame than working toward solutions.
