Justice Repeated

Since the acquittal of a Kyle Rittenhouse many, all too many, mainstream media “experts” have claimed again and again that if Rittenhouse had been black he would certainly have been convicted. Remarkably, though, on the very same day of Rittenhouse’s acquittal, there was another acquittal, this one in a Florida courtroom. 

In 2017, A. J. Coffee IV, 27, who happens to be black, shot and killed a member of a Sheriff’s SWAT team that had forcibly entered his home. The SWAT team had broken a rear window and extended a pole used to detonate a “flash-bang.” Coffee thought he was being robbed, believed the pole was a rifle barrel, and admitted he shot through the open window, but claimed he acted only in self-defense. His girlfriend, a 21-year-old woman named Alteria Woods, was shot ten times by an officer and died as a result of her wounds.

Coffee was charged with felony second degree murder and three counts of attempted murder of a police officer. But like the Rittenhouse jury in Wisconsin the Florida jury of Coffee’s peers accepted his claims of self-defense and acquitted him of all charges, except his illegal gun possession charge. The irony, of course, is almost overwhelming. Not only is Mr. Coffee black, but he was acquitted in a Florida courtroom.

I suspect you have not seen or heard much about A.J. Coffee’s acquittal from the mainstream media. But we can expect little more from such ideologues. Happily, though, once again, a jury did its job and justice prevailed. The nation should be pleased that Justice remains blind…
