Everyone in the country has heard of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman but few know the name of Trevor Dooley--a central Florida man who shot and killed a neighbor, David "DJ" James, and is defending himself using Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.
The James case has a number of similarities with the Martin case, but has not been the subject of the mainstream media meltdown nor the focus of cries of racism, even though the shooter and the victim were both of different races (Dooley is black, and James was white).
Critics of the authorities' handling of the Martin case will doubtlessly point out that Dooley was, in fact, arrested and charged in his shooting case. As a diarist on liberal website Daily Kos said in a piece on the Dooley shooting written before Zimmerman was charged:
Now we see what happens when a Black Man kills a White Man then asserts "Self Defense". He has to prove it. Other people in the opposite situation, not so much.

If anyone takes the minority, feminist, homosexual, etc agitators at their word that all they are looking for is equality they are sadly mistaken.
People are consistent on these issues. Like essentially all Freepers, I side with both Zimmerman and Dooley, to the extent that their statements on self-defense are supported by the evidence. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and their mindless followers side with Trayvon Martin and with Dooley, because they consistently side with the black man. At least Sharpton and Jackson are right on one out of two cases here, which is far better than their average.
The problem is Dooley left his own property and raised hell with a kid for skateboarding. No property was being damaged and he should of notified the community official.
people ara convicted of manslaugher because of being involved in a fight or hassle because they refused to back away.
