Troy Davis Case: Part One

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SH4IpmJl6M&list=PL57BCB0861959BD96&index=2

Some people who were in North Carolina in 1995-1997 may remember the case of two Fort Bragg neo-nazi paratroopers who murdered two Afrikan Americans-- Jackie Burden, 27, and Michael James, 36 on December 7, 1995.

[FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. Filled with racial hatred and carrying a 9-mm. handgun, Army Pfc. James Burmeister, a paratrooper at nearby Fort Bragg, drove with two other soldiers more than 40 miles from his rented room in a trailer in an adjoining county to the depressed inner-city neighborhood of Campbell Terrace. Burmeister, a member of the elite 82d Airborne Division, shot and killed a black couple on that wet, cold night of Dec. 7, 1995, in a skinhead initiation rite.

An avowed neo-Nazi skinhead, given to uttering the N-word and listening to white power anthems such as "Third Reich," Burmeister found his victims on a dirt road after midnight.

James was shot twice in the head at such close range that his blood was later found on the right sleeve of Burmeister's shirt.

Burden ran but was cut down with one shot to her back. As she lay writhing in pain, Burmeister walked up to the one-time aspiring nursing assistant and fired three more bullets.

Malcolm Wright Jr., 22, of Lexington, Ky., was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the deaths of Jackie Burden, 27, and Michael James, 36, who were shot to death on Dec. 7, 1995, in Fayetteville, an Army town near Fort Bragg. The jury, 11 whites and 1 black, will now hear evidence on whether to impose the death penalty.

On Feb. 27, a jury in Fayetteville convicted another white former Army private, James N. Burmeister 2d, on two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy in
the same deaths. Mr. Burmeister, 21, of Thompson, Pa., is serving two consecutive life sentences at the Central Prison in Raleigh after a jury deadlocked on March 6 on the question of execution. The vote was 11 to 1 in favor of executing him.

The prosecution argued that Mr. Burmeister had fired the shots because he wanted a spider-web tattoo, a sign in certain skinhead groups that its wearer had
killed a black person. Mr. Wright has such a tattoo.]

Here is a man with the blood of his victim on his shirt and he receives a life sentence. Another man who was convicted based only on extremely weak “eyewitness” testimony, with no physical evidence of his guilt, will be killed today. If the death penalty was not applicable in the case of James Burmeister, it should never be applied. Burmeister died in prison in 2007.

Shot.

That.

Young husband and father.

In.

The.

Face.

And killed him.

Just like he shot Michael Cooper in the face 20 minutes prior to killing this cop.

(Skutch, Jan (August 23, 1991). "Testimony To Begin In '89 Murder Case". Savannah Morning News.)

There are plenty of truly innocent brothers suffering at the hands of the For-Profit Prison system.

If you want to fight the system ... fight the system.

The Plantation Media gets Plantation Negros all caught up in Dead-End cases like Troy Davis to suck all of the constructive energy out of the opposition movement against the predatory For-Profit Prison system.

You don't know jack-shit, but if you want to be a cheap imitation of Rick Perry and support the racially biased state-sponsored murder of people, have at it.

Killer spared from death hours before execution

Just another example of how unjust the whole death penalty process is.

If you were actually involved in this opposition, you would know that these struggles are one and the same. Based on your warped mentality, the life of Mumia Abu-Jamal is also probably worthless, a dead-end case.

Another Black man is scheduled to be executed tonight in Alabama.

Yeah i hear ya Mac.

You support any cliche that sticks to the "Black Victim" vs. "White Oppressor" meme.

You cannot get beyond it.

Which is why all of these little Negro empowerment movements have been running on a treadmill for 40 years.

Troy Davis was a head fake Mak.

Can't you see that?

1) The media feeds neo-liberal whites and negros a guilty man ...

2) suggests through their liberal media flunkies that he is innocent

3) Gets their hopes up that they may release him ...

4) Soon the claims of his "innocence" are revealed to be ridiculous in the light of day.

5) Making the defenders of innocent men look "stupid" and "wrong" ... while REINFORCING the meme that the Plantation Does Not Make Mistakes.

Get it yet Mak?

You wit me bra?

I don't want go too fast.

6) The "Democracy Now" Negros hype up the proletariat making this execution a 'grass roots' movement.

7) Inadvertently the same Negros trying to save a Troy Davis ... end up becoming the PROMOTERS of his execution. How? They drive up the audience for it. An execution is a show.

When the Plantation executes someone .. THEY WANT YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO IT.

It is a message to Plantation Negros that they better behave.

This is chess man.

Not checkers.

There are thousands of men WAY more innocent than any gotdamn Troy Davis.

Dude didn't even have an alibi.

Dude didn't even take the stand on his own behalf.

Come on Mak.

Time for negros to stop going through the motions.

Time to invest energies in ideas that empower us.

They've got Negros wasting their energy running in memetic circles.

DV-"Which is why all of these little Negro empowerment movements have been running on a treadmill for 40 years."

BRA IN THE VIDEO BELOW SPEAKS TO THAT IN A METAPHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE, BUT SAYS THAT THE END GOAL IS RESET US BACK 40 YEARS (WOW) :

"Troy Davis was executed on September 21, 2011 in a ritual that was designed to carry us back in mind, body, and spirit to the early 60s. The attempt is to always down-shift our focus from human rights and human advancement to civil rights and the fight for rights and priveleges that should be protected in a so-called “civilized society”."

Shows just how much you don’t know about the Troy Davis case. The state of Georgia was forced to admit that the bullets in the two shootings did not match. I suppose you believe that he used a magic gun and one set of bullets in one shooting and another set of bullets twenty minutes later. LOL

You support any cliche that sticks to the "Black Victim" vs. "White Oppressor" meme. – DV

I support justice, which has no color. However, white supremacy is a reality in America. Forty-two percent of the people in death row are Afrikan Americans. Per the Death Penalty Information Center, 76 percent of the murder victims whose cases resulted in an execution were white, although white’s are typically 50 percent of the murder victims. I’m sure you have some colorblind-related conspiracy which explains these discrepancies.

Soon the claims of his "innocence" are revealed to be ridiculous in the light of day.—DV

What’s really ridiculous is your ignorance of the Troy Davis case. What’s really shameful is your support of state-sanctioned murder, particularly when there are so many issues with the testimony and the lack of physical evidence. Obviously these things don’t matter to you and Rick Perry.
Troy Davis was a head fake Mak. – DV

Activists have been protesting for justice for Troy Davis long before the MSM picked-up the story, and you’re later than the MSM.

[Why didn’t the New York Times editorial page say anything until after Troy’s parole was denied, when their words wouldn’t mean a damn? How can Barack Obama say that commenting on Troy’s case is “not appropriate” but it’s somehow appropriate to bomb Libya and kill nameless innocents without the pretense of congressional approval?. What would he say if Malia asked him that question? How can we have a Black family in the White House and a legal lynching in Georgia? Why does this hurt so much? Can we acknowledge that in our name, this country has created hundreds of thousands of Troy Davises in the Middle East? Can we continue to coexist peacefully in a country that executes its own? What the hell do I tell my 7-year-old daughter, who has been marching to save Troy since she was in a stroller? If some of Troy’s last words were, “This movement began before I was born, it must continue and grow stronger until we abolish the death penalty once and for all,” then do we not have nothing less than a moral obligation to continue the fight?] – Dave Zirin

BS! Historically, the U.S of A typically pardons prisoners whose cases become prominent in the news. Troy Davis was a rare exception. I study mass communications and I can tell you-- what happened to Troy is not common. Most cases-- especially dealing with death row don't go thru once they become as internationally known as Davis'

DV, open a damn textbook.. I know you think college is the enemy but from the way you sound sometimes.. it could very well be your friend.

Haitian Chick you have a better chance of reviving the spirit of Boukman Dutty than you do getting DV to read a book.

Denmark Vesey said...

^^ ha

Funny how an idea becomes true to a Plantation Negro ... by merely putting it in "a book".

Plantation Negros do not seek truth.

They seek permission.

An idea in a book means that idea has an 'author'.

Which means that idea has an 'authority'.

Which is what Plantation Negros have been trained to seek: authorization.

Thus in 2011 ... Plantation Negros cannot understand a concept unless it has been spoon fed them in a "book" or via "college".

think about it ...

It is always the most ignorant cats ... screaming about college and books.

They confuse "school" with knowledge and "authority" with truth.

Troy Davis is not about capital punishment or even prison.

It was a RITUAL slaying.

Your pathetic little charade of a protest ... or ... excuse me .. "struggle" .. IS PART OF THE FUCKING RITUAL ...

damn.

get it yet?

Or do you need a white boy to put it in 'a book' before you are able to grasp it?

HaitianChick said...

Please. It's always the ones who never went to college or didn't get anything done while they were there that talk it down.

And damn.. you're assuming only "white boys" write textbooks? *side-eye*

Here's my problem with you DV. You don't give your people enough credit. You wanna school us about Monsanto and Popeye's chicken like its today's news. Well, its not.

Nonetheless, I don't care if you're argument is based out of a textbook or experience just make sure its backed by facts and reason.
