Oscar Grant: Unarmed and Murdered on the New Year 2009
Please I warn all who view this video, it is quite disturbing! I have never seen nothing remotely close to this in my life. We are currently studying the crisis of Europe's Dark Ages and have evaluated how individuals, churches, serf and others responded to things such as the "Black Death." But this Crisis in Oakland is very different I would say. How should the citizens react to such act of violence from one who has authority? Could you compare the Black Death to the Murder or Oscar Grant? What reaction do you think would come from the people of Oakland? Please, respond after watching Video (1).

Why Is Bubonic Plague in America?
CDC Report: Emerging Infectious Diseases
I always thought that Bubonic Plague was a history lesson and had been eradicated long ago. This is a disturbing revelation. As I researched this development, I found that Bubonic and Pneumonic plagues are similar, but are transmitted differently. Bubonic is transmitted from contact with pets exposed to fleas that have feasted on a Bubonic carrier, so it is blood borne. Pneumonic is just that, you just breathe the air containing particles of Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) … I find it amazing that North America has Y. pestis in its soil and CDC has studied and tested for Y. pestis for years. There have been casualties and deaths in rural areas. Maybe that is why little or no media attention was given. However, Hantavirus got a lot of media attention in 1993, because it took so long to identify the source … it scared a lot of people.
Maybe Americans are not aware of many of these horrible diseases, because their interests lie elsewhere, or maybe because American’s need to know has been decided by someone else. Would America’s prosperity be tainted if something as common as a plague virus/bacteria is part of our “special and privileged” environment? How would a "Plague" or "21th Century Death" affect you?
