No fight.

Main Entry ImageI am happy to see that Damon Feldman canceled plans to promote a fight between George Killerman and DMX. (Shout out to Black Twitter for a staging a successful campaign to stop this insulting mockery of the memory of a dead young teenager.) This was a stupid and misguided idea from the very start. George Killerman  might be infamous, but he is not a celebrity, and he is not someone whose actions we should be celebrating.


To DMX and everyone else who wants a piece of George Killerman, this is not the way to go about it. A staged fight with thousands of people watching and with rules of conduct is not what I had in mind for George..... Just sayin.


Meanwhile, another man who tried to take the law into his own hands is on trial for the murder of yet another young black male.


This killer claims that the young man's music was too loud, and when he tried to tell him to stop, the young man (or someone in his vehicle) pulled a gun on him.


The man fired nine shots into the vehicle, and when it was over, seventeen year old Jordan Davis was dead.


Now, like George Killerman, he is claiming that he feared for his life.


"Coming on the heels of the Trayvon Martin trial, the Dunn trial is likely to once again put Florida's controversial stand-your-ground law into the spotlight.
"Even if they do not use it as a defense, it will be in the background," says Lance deHaven-Smith, a Florida State University public policy professor. "It raises a question of whether the stand-your-ground law encourages overreaction to situations that are deemed by some people as threatening."


The law, Professor deHaven-Smith notes, doesn't specify whether a threat must be real for someone to invoke self-defense as a justification for attack, but just whether that threat is perceived.


While deHaven-Smith expects heated debate in the state about the law as the trial takes place, he notes that the Florida legislature is about three-quarters Republican and is unlikely to revise it." (Source)


Hmmm, just a "perceived" threat.


Well, a car full of black teens is always going to be a "threat" to some people, so this might explain the Florida legislature and their mind -set when they passed this particular law.


"This case has never been about loud music. This case is about a local thug threatening to kill me because I dared to ask him to turn the music down," Dunn wrote in a letter to First Coast News, a local television station, in the fall. "When Mr. Davis opened his door and said, 'You're DEAD expletive! This expletive is going down NOW,' I was convinced that the loss of my life was imminent, I had no choice but to defend myself, I am NOT a murderer. I am a survivor."


Mr. Dunn, we will wait to see how a jury feels about your story.


Fortunately Jordan Davis might get justice, because in his case, unlike with the case of Trayvon Martin, there were witnesses.

  4. Watchingf part of this trial on CNN, interesting. The defense attorney was attacking Jordan's friend rapid fire style. The most interesting part were the Twitter comments. I wonder what we seem like to other countries.
    Stand your ground while possibly well intentioned is being misconstrued as the I can attack anybody for anything law. Too bad young folks have to die before we figure out this is a bad law.

    Field, I am going on record to predict this trial will result in a HUNG jury!! This is the racialist handicap based in white privilege in America. Under normal conditions this trial outside of the south would be a slam dunk conviction of all charges against Dunn, however considering the current circumstances a hung jury is most likely.

    Field, are saying George Zimmerman is NOT famous, is not a celebrity? Infamous is in the eyes of the beholder. It depends on where you are standing. To have almost fought DMX, George had to be a celebrity. That's what the fight was all about.

    @PilotX, those clowns within Florida’s Legislature knew exactly what they were doing when they implemented this “stand your ground” law. They knew that the end result would be that quite a few people would unnecessarily die, particularly blacks. They (the law makers) are collectively racist, but by no means are they dumb people. In essence, it’s a scapegoat law which allows them to point their finger at how the law is constructed and utilize the “perceived threat” portion as a way to justify the killings of innocent people and at the same time protect cracka-ass perpetrators from being convicted. Even further, they already know that bad laws equate with tyranny, oppression and bad results. Therefore, I wouldn’t go as far as you have and state that the law is being misconstrued. Why? Because it was a terribly flawed law with a specifically designed purpose to begin with.

    Prediction on the trial in Florida: Dunn will walk free. Those teens were in the wrong for talking back and threatening Dunn. Whites become afraid for their lives when bm act or talk angrily.

    BM should learn from Obama: NEVER show your anger toward a White person. Be soft, reasonable and understanding of whatever Whites do or say to you.

    Remember, they ALWAYS have the upper hand. This is their justice system which will prosecute any bm regardless of the evidence. Our peeps in Oakland know this fact very well. That's why they only get angry at other Blacks. Granny knows this well.

    The best thing a bm can do in America is to stay OUT of the IN-justice system, and not do anything that would cause a policeman to shoot you on BART or anyplace else in Oakland or Richmond.

    Field Negro,
    George Zimmerman has had his life irretrievably damaged by a chance encounter with a drug addled young thug. That does not change the fact that George Zimmerman (GZ) has made some poorly considered choices since saving his life from the crazed assault from Traygone.
    The speeding, the crazy girlfriend, the fight and those mediocre paintings...
    America will be a quieter place when GZ gets back to normal or moves overseas. He is running out of luck, IMHO.
    My bet was on DMX. The system would have demanded his win, no reason I can't make some shekels off his labors, just like a guy laboring in the field.

  18. Natty hair Turner is on to something.

    Sure blacks make up the most successful % of stand your ground claims.

    Racist crackas knew this would be the case.


    What Natty hair Turner knows is minorities (specifically blacks)commit most interracial crime. Racist natty hair folks fear crackas being able/motivate to fight back or at least be on equal ground as they.

    Natty hairs biggest fear is when they do a racist black mob/knockout attack,or rape 99 year old white grandmothers, crackas will go Bernard Goetz on them.


    NSangoma is right. I will add Trayvon's racism and homophobia also played a part in his death.

  23. Nat Turner, tempting though it is to assume the legislators knew what they were up to, the sad truth is they didn't. Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity or (in this case) laziness. The Stand Your Ground law in Florida was drafted by ALEC, a right-wing organization that churns out boiler-plate legislation on issues like gun ownership and immigration and then hands the pre-written legislation to state legislators who are happy to promote it because it means they don't have to do any work themselves. The legislators have been wined and dined and possibly bribed at meetings sponsored by ALEC so are happy to the bidding of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the NRA, and various corporations.

    The actions of people like Mr. Dunn do partially explain why the sales of adult diapers are climbing. There appear to be a lot of people wandering around who are scared s***less every time they see a person of color.

    Mr. Dunn is one of the many wanna be cops that seem to inhabit the land of Mickey Mouse.

    Vigilantes that would establish/impose/execute 'their' idea of what law and order should be in the land of Donald Duck.

    Apparently they feel that the police are not doing a good enough job of it,and so they must step in and keep the status quo.

    Musak is the order of the day, and Lord forbid anything else should assault their delicate,shell like ears, and perhaps even make their feet tap a little, or HEAVEN FORBID their hips want to move!!! B-I-G- N-O- N-O :)

    It is rational to fear a population who feels entitled to commit violence against you in an environment where the government works to make you defenseless and the media lies to you that none of it is happening.

    We will stand our ground for the stand your ground laws. This is the red line that won't be crossed.

    Field, you claim to be a lawyer, therefore you must realize that the Davis case has nothing to do with Florida's Stand-Your-Ground law.

    Stand-Your-Ground deals only with the issue of retreat in the context of lawful self-defense. It does not authorize any greater degree of force, nor does it allow you to use force under any lesser degree of threat. You must still meet every other qualification for lawful self-defense—innocence, imminence, proportionality, and reasonableness. If you are the aggressor in the fight, for example, you don’t qualify for self-defense in the first place, and Stand-Your-Ground has no application. In particular, Stand-Your-Ground in no way authorizes a “shoot first, ask questions later” approach to self-defense, despite what so many political activists have claimed.

    Whether or not Dunn has a valid self-defense claim is left to the jury. But that doesn't stop you and the rest of the Leftist media from propagandizing against self-defense laws. That's how you roll.

    Mr Field, you have some nice theories but they are far from reality for bm. You must know that Obama has not shown ANY anger when he should have. He cannot show anger even though the GOP, Tea Party and Stormfronters say the most vile insulting things about him and his family. My God, they even threaten his life. That's the privilege of being White. A bm will be shot dead if he is 'perceived' as angry because Whites like Dunn will 'fear' for their lives.

    Mr Field, how many bm must die before you take a close look at your theory of how things ought to be vs. how things 'really' are?

  36. Ms. Queen will hang around in college her whole life, but will never get into medical school. Someday, when she's in her 80's, you'll see her on CNN, getting an honorary degree from some medical school for hanging around trying for so long, and for being black. She'll hoot and holler, and wave that piece of paper in the faces of the working people who supported her futile quest all these years and tell them how it makes her so much better than they are.

    She is the kind of walking, bejabbering stereotype that truly accomplished black people must find horrifying.
