Oscar Grant was a parolee high on the super-addictive synthetic heroin FENTANYL. He engaged in a felony brawl with another parole of a competing drug gang, which lasted over several train stations on a moving train filled with bystanders including small children.
Had Mehserle not gotten confused under the chaos, the twice-convicted felon-parolee Oscar Grant would have been convicted of his third strike and received a life sentence in prison for the four felonies he is known to have committed that night, including violent felonies of resisting arrest.
Grant could not afford the addictive drug dictating his behaviors that night on his small beginner meatcutters salary of the first job he ever held in his life.
Grant was used to easy money selling drugs, not working a job to feed a costly addiction.
Grant is presented as family man, but he loved selling drugs and gang-banging more than he loved his daughter, whose mom he never married. He preferred prison to working as a meat cutter, and we still don't know how he afforded his FENTANY that was found in his blood that night -- he couldn't afford a daughter and an expensive addiction on his family-man starter salary.
Look up Fentanyl, so addictive it often is addicting upon the very first usage.
This family man loved his prison family more than his street family and was violent up to the last hour of his life.
