    Having the person in the shot walking by and "ignoring" the mural and its message really makes the photo much more interesting. neat!

    Fabulous artwork under your bridges. It must make it hard for drivers to keep their eyes on the road!

    Strange that it's sort of hidden away. Beautiful.

    Too bad the artwork is under the bridge, but it's a nice mural and a fantastic shot.

    Brave words, and often very hard to follow. All complicated by the fact that evil, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.

    Sinbad makes the right comment, namely, that this is a strong message, and the figure who is present ignores it.

    I may have missed your telling it, but is there a broader program to "mural" the city of Oakland? Another good one, although I agree with others that is hard at times to define evil or to know when "not to ignore" calls out an imperative to act.
