Florida Black Man Denied Stand Your Ground Defense

A Florida judge ruled today that an elderly black man charged in the shooting death of his neighbor couldn't use the now infamous STAND YOUR GROUND defense made so by the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. WTF, yo!! This will be the second time in a week where the controversial law did not provide any protection for the defendant. Today's ruling dealt with the manslaughter case against Trevor Dooley. The defendant willingly admitted to shooting David James in 2010 after a dispute over a teen's right to skateboard on a local basketball court escalated and turned physical. Tampa, Florida news reports that Dooley only shot James, who was defending the teen's right to skateboard because he feared for his own safety after the argument became aggressive and James threatened Dooley. Dooley did have his weapons' permit concealed on his person. A circuit judge apparently said fuck that and ruled that "the evidence suggests that it was not until Dooley "reached for and pulled out his weapon—indicating an intent to escalate from an argument to violence—that Mr. James exerted and used physical force against Defendant." Today's ruling comes only three days after Marissa Alexander, a black woman in Jacksonville, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for three counts of aggravated assault. Alexander's lawyer cited the Stand Your Ground law in her defense, arguing that she fired warning shots to protect herself during a confrontation with her husband. But a judge ruled last year that the law didn't apply because Alexander wasn't in genuine fear for her safety when she fired the gun, according to the Los Angeles Times. Local news station WJXT explains that was because "she left the room, got a gun and returned to confront him." Alexander's sentencing was quickly criticized by Rep. Corrine Brown, a Democratic congresswoman who represents the Jacksonville area. "I have lived here all my life," she said Friday. "And clearly [there] was no justice in this courtroom." Both Dooley and Alexander's respective cases come as the Stand Your Ground law, which allows people to basically kill other people they have a perceived notion mean to do them harm takes center stage in the wake of the February shooting death of Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed the Florida teen, has claimed he did so only in self-defense. He has since been charged with second-degree murder. It still however remains to be seen whether or not this is a case of justice finally catching up to the waning moral compass of the legal system and negating these laws like Stand you Ground or if this is just another case of social & legal inequality.

Throwback Movie of the Week: Best of the Best

In a time where fighting was everything, there was a super group of Mortal Kombat rejects that decided to start their own movie. Darth Vader's voice follows them into the darkness of fighting Koreans. In the tale of honor, respect and interracial relationships there was one memorable name. Eric Roberts who later in his career even became so ballsy as to talk smack to the Nolan's Batman. Liu Kang's long lost cousin also had a starring role in this flick where he catches flashbacks of his brother. Maybe I'm mixing the movies together in my head because all three installments of this flick seem kind of similar, so yea. Make sure you check this out before checking out next week's movie of the week, and it will all make sense then. Stay tuned ninjas.

Rating: 3.9/5 Ninja Stars

Saturday Morning Throwy: X-Men (pilot episode)

Good Mornternoon ninjas. This weekend's throwy comes way back from 1989 with the pilot episode of the first ever X-MEN cartoon. Titled the PRYDE OF THE X-MEN the episode depicts Kitty Pryde's aka Shadowcat's arrival at Professor Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters and the X-Men's inevitable ongoing conflict with Magneto & the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (they're the bad guys). This version actually aired as apart of the same cartoon block as the original Robocop cartoon that we posted a few weeks ago and was supposed to be a full series but due to financial troubles and corporate shenanigans all we got was the pilot episode. So here it is in all of its singular glory i give you. X-MEN: PRYDE OF THE X-MEN, enjoy.
