why is the media silent on this case?

Why is there no national outrage and cries for "Justice for Daniel"?

Stand-your-ground law key in slaying that mirrors Trayvon Martin case

a 29 year old mentally disabled hispanic man shot and killed by a black guy and there has been no arrest and no public outcry.


As in the zimmerman/martin case, the shooter is claiming self-defense.

Daniel Adkins was out walking his dog, like he did every night, when he walked in front of a car pulling out of the Taco bell drive thru. The driver had to break suddenly and yelled "watch it" and then added an obscenity. Then, acoording to the shooter, Daniel approached the window of the car and swung a "pipe or a bat" at the window. Cordell Jude pulled his 40 caliber handgun from the waistband of his sweatpants and rakced the weapon, Daniel raised his right arm as if the strike the vehicle again and Jude shot him dead. Cordell said he feared for his life and the life of his pregnant girlfried who was a passenger in the car.

Some interesting facts:

1. There were no marks of any kind on Jude's vehicle to indicate it had been struck with an object

2. A search of the area revealed no sign of a bat or a club anywhere in the area.

3. when police arrived, Daniel was still holding the bright green leash in his dead right hand. (which begs the question, how could he have been swinging a bat or pipe since he was holding a dog leash?)

So, why hasn't Cordell Jude been arrested?

unlike the zimmerman case, Jude suffered no injuries of any kind. his story of Adkins attacking his vehicle with a pipe/bat was shown to be an outright lie. he claims he couldn't simply drive away because Adkins' dog was in the way...so instead of hitting a dog he shoots the owner? really?

well, you can bet your ass that al 'tawanna brawley' sharpton and jesse 'hymietown' jackson are on a flight to the crime scene as we post, to make sure the black victim of this crime receives the justice that is deserved


wait. the perp is black. the victim is hispanic


never mind
this story will remain ignored


good thing justice is blind ... and often deaf, too [/s]

even worse...Jude admitted to police he did not think Adkins was trying to kill him. only that he was trying to hurt him. hurt him? really??? with a dog leash while Jude was sitting inside his car?

And, as with the zimmerman case, police wanted to charge Jude with 2nd degree murder

The police report recommended second-degree murder charges against Jude. Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson would not discuss the case except to say the investigation continues.

no! he had a pipe or a bat and attacked the driver who shot him
just look at the dents on his vehicle that aren't there
just look at the bat or pipe that was not found
just look at the fact that the professional shake down artists, those self serving race baiters have not shown up
case closed
the next time some mentally deficient person chooses to walk his dog on the public sidewalks and his right-of-way impedes the getaway from one's enjoying the epicurean delights to be found only at taco bell, they have been placed on notice, their life doesn't count. get the flock outta the way

I'm waiting for the accusations that because he was mentally disabled he was inherently unstable (we all KNOW how violent and unpredictable retarded people can be) and that he violently attacked Jude's CAR and then somehow the pipe/bat magically vanished.

My question is, IF Jude is telling the truth about what he thought happened...how freakin stupid do you have to be to mistake a bright green dog leash for a bat or a pipe?

How can you be afraid enough of a guy to shoot him when he is unarmed and outside your car and you are sitting inside it? if the guy breaks out your window THEN you shoot him. you don't roll down the window and shoot him just because you think he might do something.

maybe you have to be carrying a bag of skittles to get national attention.

:roll: so where are all the lynch mobs? where is the bounty on Jude's head funded by LULAC? where are the bands of roving latino teenagers looting and vandalizing random convenience stores over "justice for Daniel"? where are the reports of latinos attacking and beating black dudes while yelling "this is for Daniel"? Why is Holder's justice dept not threatening Jude with hate crime charges? Why would I not know anything about this case if I one of the guys I work with just hadn't happened to bring an old copy of USA Today into the office?

I don't know, where was the part where the victim was very clearly profiled and followed after the police told the perpetrator to let it go? Where was the part where the overzealous black neighborhood watch captain was following the victim because he thought the hispanic guy was high and/or casing surrounding homes? You're attempting to compare apples to oranges.

None of this is to say that the police involved shouldn't do their due diligence and that Daniel Adkins doesn't deserve justice for what happened to him, but you're comparing two different scenarios and it's not the respective races of the individuals involved that's the only difference.

yeah, there are other differences. the victim in this case did not attack the guy who shot him. the shooter suffered ZERO injuries and there was ZERO damage to his vehicle. the shooter did not call the cops.

This case is far more egregious than the zimmerman/martin case.

You're missing that there's no "reverse racism" at work here. That's what really gets them cheesed. Show a con any story in which that might be the case, and they'll jump all over it because it gives them the opportunity to say what they really think : "I'm a white Christian male, I'm the most persecuted person in history!"

Except for the pesky little fact that in neither case was the victim or suspect "white".

Latino kills a black guy....string him up
Black kills a latino guy... (cue crickets chirping)

Reality check: justabubba is not a "con". Guess that blows your little "theory" out of the water

Stillballin I know something about this subject and Black on White crime is never made to be what white on black crime is made to be in the media...Prosecutors make alot more hay over going after white on black crime because its much better Exposure for them.
Is it a big deal...if your the victim its a big deal

Interesting spins going on.

Some of this is simple enough, the question isn't why are haven't the black leadership stood up demanding justice but rather why hasn't the white community done so? Seems to me if your ox is getting gored you should do more than post an off center whine.

odd to hear the Hispanic/white back and forth. I've heard Zimmerman called white as Hispanics are part of the white race, and several internet reports call Atkins white. My thought is Hispanics in Arizona don't have the network to draw attention to the second class citizenship they have especially in Maricopa County. No history of community organization to draw national attention like the blacks have painfully put inplace since 1963 or so.

Everyday one ethnic type kills another in this country. What has one or the other selected for national attention has a lot more involved than the race of our President or the 'bias' of the media.

Not that I'd ever accuse anyone of stirring the race pot but after reading several rants online by bloggers it does seem the news was picked over to find a shooting to go apesh*t over.

But it is a tough sell isn't it. Conservatives want to use the death of a Hispanic in a county under investigation for it's treatment of Hispanics, but the Stand Your Ground Law apparently shielded the driver from immediate arrest. Still some Conservatives feel this shooting should be splashed across the nation with whites rising up screaming for the shooter's head on a pike.

Well I recall the series of events as kid shot, people mad, local TV covers the people, more people mad, national TV picks it up, lots more people mad.

Not national TV runs screaming into the news room the day after the shooting demanding Zimmerman be hung.

Sooooo, seems to me that unless the locals in Maricopa County start public protests this murder won't get the coverage Martin did.

Scream, cry, wet the bed but that is how it works, no public protests to put on the news- no coverage.

THE point of the entire matter is that the Trayvon Martin case was ALL propaganda, using a dead teenager as a prop to push left-wing "racist rhetoric." Not only is the case the OP posted not blasted across CNN and MSNBC all day, everyday, but it's not being heavily talked about at all. Just like when black on black crime isn't reported and blasted across CNN and MSNBC all day, everyday.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do horrible justice to the legacy of the civil rights movement. When "civil rights" turned into a left-wing propaganda movement to promote gay marriage, brand repeat offending black people as "victims" despite their continual breaking of the law, to use a 17 yr old teenager's death as a push to validate claims that black people are still "victims" in this country by the all powerful white man (when there was no white man involved in that crime), and the COUNTLESS other examples just puts a SHAME on the entire history of the civil rights movement.

MLK and the other historical civil rights leaders marched on issues based in the Constitution, and BASIC human rights, with no discrimination. The civil rights movement wasn't tied to ANY political party, or ANY political leaning, especially during a period back then when the Democratic Party and the "liberal movement" was the most RACIST group of people in America.

Sharpton and Jackson have turned the civil rights movement into left-wing, liberal propaganda, it's sickening!

This is easy to answer. Cordell Jude looks like he could be related to President Obama and his surrogate relatives-by-race can assault any Latinos they want to.

Why would anyone make a dumb ****ing argument like that? Don't you and your friends make enough poorly worded arguments for this forum already? We'll leave that job up to you.

By the way, since I've heard the story from you, I'd assume there is outrage. In my opinion, just like in the Martin case, the shooter will have to prove that he was attacked and feared for his life. I'd say the difference in this case is that the shooter did not pursue or chase this fight. That is the douchiness that Zimmerman suffered from - he thought he was Batman.

Prove Zimmerman "thought he was Batman." Bet you can't. Bet you 100% completely made that up out.

The shooter in the car was not being beat up and was in a car so could drive off.

Again, I claim that you are 100% deliberately being untruthful in your claim that Zimmerman "thought he was Batman."

Then again, unlike you, most people know that Batman doesn't carry a gun. That is one of many reasons I claim you totally made up your claim out of thin air. That is typical of people who hate the Latino Zimmerman. Hating Latinos and making up lies about them to try to convince others to hate Latinos too isn't rare. You should admit your true motivations for deliberately lying about Zimmerman to try to generate hatred against him.

It's funny to hear the white whine. Poor abused white folk. I feel your pain! :roll:

However you can't recall how the Zimmerman case got all that attention. You have some liberal scheme to promote white hate and suppress any reports of blacks behaving badly.

Really?

it is interesting some use the term lynching when it comes to media reports on whites killing blacks. I recall real lynchings of blacks by whites.

Get over it, you can nit pick the stand your ground incidents and find where whites get away with shooting blacks in the back, in broad daylight while on the phone with 911, in the neighbor's yard with no 'Zimmerman' outcry. (Dallas)

In OKC a pharmacist comes back to a downed robber with a second weapon and empties it into the guy. He was charged and found guilty without a 'Zimmerman' march.

So spare us the poor downtrodden white whine. Keep the 'where is Sharpton' silliness out of this .

TIA, This is Arizona, where a Hispanic Marine gets gunned down in his own home after a cop has a ND and his SWAT buddies riddle the Marine full of holes, refuse him medical care, keep his wife and child in the house, find no illegal substances,or weapons, no cop gets disciplined, no outrage over that either.

Read into it what you want, but the white whine is silly.

You have already come down on a side in this issue when you characterized it the way you did in the following.

Justice was already being served, until the ridiculous uproar, and mob mentality rose up and demanded injustice.

And we all know it wasn't the downtrodden whites making the claims.
