It took less than 20 minutes for a Florida jury to convict Marissa Alexander for shooting at a ceiling while she tried to scare off her attacker. She was convicted and sent to prison to serve a 20 year sentence. No one died in Marissa’s case but her claim that she was scared for her life and stood her ground did not work.
Marissa is black.
Fast forward to today, where a white man approached a black teen, confronted that black teen, then murdered that black teen. No, I’m not talking about George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, although after killing Trayvon, Zimmerman is now a free man planning a boxing match. I’m talking about Michael Dunn who murdered another 17-year-old black child. Dunn demanded that Jordan turn down his music and then killed Jordan when he refused.
Dunn is now awaiting a jury’s decision. Unlike Marissa’s jury who again, took less than 20 minutes to convict her, Dunn’s jury is presently in day 4 of apparently trying to figure out if a crime was committed.
Meanwhile, the family of the murdered victim Jordan Davis, was seen outside the courtroom… praying.
