Jordan Davis-This Year"s Trayvon? (Part Two)
The tragic death of black teenager Trayvon Martin on February 26th, 2012 in Sanford, Florida and a jury's exoneration of the man who was forced to kill him in self-defense under Florida's controversial stand-your-ground law, 28 year old part-hispanic George Zimmerman, still reverberate throughout black America as a travesty of justice.
That opinion is primarily based on very disputable claims that seventeen year old Trayvon was an innocent African-American boy who was just strolling along in the rain in the gloaming with a box of Skittles and a bottle of Arizona Fruit Juice in a mostly-white Sanford, Florida community that had recently experienced a rash of burglaries and push-in robberies.
As with so many other details about Martin - who, by the way, somehow looked like President Obama's son if he had had a son and could even have been Obama himself - the president's mainstream media never bothered to mention that Skittles and Arizona Fruit Juice are ingredients used to create an illicit, home-made drug called €Sizzurp€ or €Lean€ when combined with codeine.
Seventeen year old Jordan Davis, however, wasn't carrying candy or juice on the evening of November 23rd, 2012 when Michael Dunn shot and killed him in a Jacksonville, Florida convenience store parking lot after Davis and his friends had threatened to murder him. Dunn testified at his trial that he believed he saw the barrel of a shotgun in their dimly-lit suv but, following the fatal shooting and Dunn's firing at their fleeing car with his licensed, legal pistol, no weapons were found in their vehicle.
Dunn's shooting seven times at their car and the subsequent failure of police to find any weapons may have influenced Duval County to upgrade the initial charge of second degree to first degree murder.
Deceptively dubbed the €loud music trial€ by the MSM in reference to what Dunn described as the painfully-thumping sounds blared from the suv, the €stand-your-ground trial€ would be much more apt even though Dunn's attorney never invoked that law which permits deadly force if people €reasonably believe€ someone will hurt them.
Dunn pinned his defense not on the deafening music but rather on that perceived shotgun barrel and Davis yelling, €You're dead€ and other obscenity-laced threats which caused him to fear his death was €imminent.€
Last Saturday, the jury found Michael Dunn guilty of three counts of attempted second degree murder and one count of hurling deadly missiles (bullets) and declared a mistrial on the first-degree murder charge.
Within days of the verdict, accompanied by their attorney, John Phillips, Jordan's parents, Lucia McBath and Ron Davis, took to the talk show circuit to express their indignation over the mistrial.
On Wednesday, they appeared on ABC's €Good Morning America€ and said they are in constant contact with Trayvon Martin's parents - for moral support. Ron Davis had vowed even before the verdict to exploit Jordan's death to crusade against guns and the stand-your-ground law. He told the empathetic GMA host Robin Roberts that, €All the time and I just want to let them know, every time I get justice for Jordan, it's going to be justice for Trayvon, for us.€
Davis added, €In Florida, you have the stand your ground instruction even though the defense, they don't actually file for stand your ground.€ He also observed that, €People don't realize that the justice in the court system is not the ultimate justice. God gives you justice and when people [like Dunn] have indifference to life... just throw it away like it was nothing. So I tell people out there that God is the ultimate justice.€
McBath, who had earlier said she and Davis were both praying for Dunn, commented, €Justice for Jordan will ultimately be really when we change the laws,€ which seemed far less vindictive than her words during her appearance on MSNBC's Larry O'Donnell's show later that night. McBath told O'Donnell she'd tell Dunn, €Not only did you take Jordan's life but you took my future€ but that, €in some way, shape or form, he will pay... because he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail.€
Dunn will probably be sentenced to at least 60 years in prison although his defense attorney has said he plans to appeal the three convictions.
Still remaining are the questions of whether Jordan Davis was just another €innocent,€ black victim like Trayvon Martin cruelly murdered by a vicious white man or whether Davis was just another black, teen thug who unfortunately paid with his life for outlandishly thugish behavior.
Not unexpectedly, no one has mentioned the black knock-out game epidemic or the mushrooming black-on-white crime rate in America either before, during, or after George Zimmerman's or Michael Dunn's trials. Apparently in President Obama's version of our country, violent assaults on white people are perfectly acceptable but whites defending themselves against racist, black reprobates is anathema.
