Supporters of Jordan Davis and his family filled rows of the courtroom, and many broke into tears, sometimes sobs, as his parents and other family members told Healey how devastating his death had been.
Davis' mother, Lucia McBath said she always taught her son to love and to forgive.
"Therefore, I too must be willing to forgive and so I choose to forgive you Mr. Dunn for taking my son's life," McBath said in court.
this kind of shit gives me hope for humanity

don't worry it's probably only a matter of time before he kills/injures a non-white person, at which point maybe he'll go to jail

justice department's non-charging of Zimmerman is really the least terrible aspect of this case, relatively. It shouldn't even have to come down to needing the feds to get involved, only that way because the state's law and police are so fucked.

It's less about media attention accomplishing something than about inattention being discouraging.

by "inattention" do u mean ppl who used to care, but have now tuned out/given up/moved on to championing another #cause
― bernard snowy, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 05:05 (nine years ago) link
Yeh the fatigue is sad too. I guess I was thinking more generally about the significance of events getting media attention or not. A friend has been talking about how encouraging he finds MSM interest in stuff like Occupy Wall Street and protesters' occupying the St. Louis PD, and how 10-15 years ago it wouldn't have been a story.

watched the doc 3.5 minutes, 10 bullets on the Jordan davis shooting, its good. quite telling imo that the murderer was like (paraphrasing) "I cant believe they don't have criminal records they must be under the radar all their youtubes are like gangster rap" (they were clips of them in a car rapping along to like lil b or something)
also these details immediately post shooting from the wiki (Rouer is his gf)
Rouer returned to Dunn's car and they went back to their hotel where they ordered pizza. Dunn did not contact the police. The next morning, Rouer saw a report about the shooting on the news, indicating that Jordan Davis had died. At her request, the couple abandoned their prior plans and headed straight home.

The racist bullshit on Tamir Rice stories has gotten so bad that Cleveland.com had to turn off comments on all Tamir Rice-related stories. (Although they're more than happy to let it continue on any other crime stories or Obama-related stories.)

As an aside, and because I don't know where else to mention it:
Rosa Parks was arrested 60 years ago today. It's Rosa Parks day in Ohio and Oregon today (California and Missouri celebrate it on February 4, her birthday -- it isn't celebrated in any other state than these four.)
I just think it's nice to remember.

i feel like subsequent events--revealing zimmerman to be a sociopath--should put to rest any doubts (if anyone had any) about what transpired the night of trayvon martin's murder. i feel that, like O.J. Simpson, he will get his commeuppance in some roundabout way.

p much otm. except, i kinda already felt like he was a sociopath as the evidence mounted against him, even before/soon into his trial a couple yeas ago
