Note: due to misunderstanding I was treated as an snarkie. I simply wrote what the daughter said on the video I saw...and repeated with the arrogant term "obviously a good man" after seeing the daughter say that. I was advice to clear this up by a nice
kossack that pulled my sleeve, so to speak...Sorry.
It was early this morning when I caught this story of a
slaying of yet another Black Teen in senseless shooting over loud music. It brought a troubling reminder back into my mind about a the case in which George Zimmerman, the man accused of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin earlier this year strikes a similar defense.
Florida’s controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ law is back on the national stage after the murder of yet another unarmed, black teenager.
Michael Dunn, a 45-year-old Florida resident, is invoking the controversial law after a recent confrontation turned fatal, The Orlando Sentinel reports.
According to authorities, 17-year-old Jordan Russell Davis, a black teenager, and several friends were confronted by Dunn, a white man, who pulled alongside the teens' SUV in the parking lot of a Jacksonville, Fla., gas station. Dunn asked them to turn their music down, and after an exchange of words, he fired between 8 and 9 shots at the vehicle, several of which hit Davis, causing his death.
This new case though, is not a case about a "White Hispanic" like George zimmerman`s and his defense claim to dispute racism. This one, by what I can just read and believe, but without input or judgment about racism, is really troubling for several reasons.
Here I see a white man as you can see in this video. Obviously a good man. However, if you read this article as released by the media, important issues arise over the Florida law known as "Stand Your Ground", which gives a person the right to snuff out a life of another human being.
My heart aches writing this diary because I know the heart aches that it will open in the family of the late Trayvon with this reminder. I simply think that the issue here will let
those who are gun lovers and support this type of sidewalk justice look into their own hearts. I will have no comment other than what you read here.
NOTE: I checked and did not see this information on a dairy this morning. I will put it out there for you to discuss if you wish.
