American justice in Black and White....North and South. - Lexington courts | Examiner.com

Racism may be more common in the Deep South but the court system has remained unchanged in the North and the South.

Lexington Kentucky and Vail Colorado are 1182.37 miles apart when talking about distance. Lexington sits at 1000 ft above sea level while Vail runs between 8022 and an impressive 11570 ft above sea level. On the map Lexington sits at Latitude 38.03 N and Longitude 84.44 W with Vail appearing at Latitude 39.64 N and Longitutde 106.39 W.

However, when the subject of racism in the criminal justice system is discussed, elevation and latitude make little, if any difference. It seems in the North they're just more honest about it. Two similar criminal cases, one in Lexington and one in Vail, demonstrate this in BLACK and WHITE.

Here are the similarities:

* Martin Joel Erzinger tragically ran over a cyclist on July 3 in Vail Colorado with his Mercedes and fled the scene of the accident.
* Glenn Rahan Doneghy tragically struck a police officer in April in Lexington Kentucky with his SUV and fled the scene of the accident.
* Erzinger was later arrested at his home address.
* Doneghy was later arrested at his home address.
* Erziner alledgedly veered from his course onto the side of the road and hit Dr. Steven Milo.
* Doneghy alledgedly veered from his course and struck Officer Bryan Durman near the side of the road.
* Erzinger's victim, Dr. Steven Milo suffered extensive injuries. "Milo suffered spinal cord injuries, bleeding from his brain and damage to his knee and scapula, according to court documents," Randy Wyrick for Vail Daily reported. "Over the past six weeks he has suffered 'disabling' spinal headaches and faces multiple surgeries for a herniated disc and plastic surgery to fix the scars he suffered in the accident." "He will have lifetime pain," Milo's lawyer, Harold Haddon, wrote. "His ability to deal with the physical challenges of his profession -- liver transplant surgery -- has been seriously jeopardized."
* Doneghy's victim, Officer Bryan Durman, tragically died from his injuries.

This is where the stories go in opposite directions:

* Erzinger oversees over $1 billion in assets for "ultra high net worth individuals, their families and foundations," according to Worth. Erzinger is white.
* Doneghy has a criminal history, mental health history, drug abuse history and has a modest income. Doneghy is black.

Raw Video: Dad Confronts Daughter's Bully on Bus

Perhaps you have seen the video of James Willie Jones, the Florida father who boarded a Green Lakes Middle School bus, threatening students who harassed his daughter. He’s come under fire, was arrested for disorderly conduct, and was forced by the politically correct in our country to apologize.

But, frankly, I think he did the world a service. While he faces disorderly conduct charges, the real disorderly conduct was the behavior of others, which brought him to this point. The man’s 13-year-old daughter has cerebral palsy and was repeatedly bullied by kids on the bus. And the “bullying” wasn’t just verbal. It was physical assault. These kids repeatedly slapped the girl’s head, twisted her ear, threw condoms on her head, and she had to go to the hospital because of stress. The bus driver did nothing (though he has to deal with kids who weren’t parented properly, if at all). And no-one ever disciplined the kids on the bus. They needed to hear this from someone:

“This is my daughter, and I will kill a [expletive] to back her. If anything happens to my daughter I’m going to [expletive] you up and everybody on this [expletive].”

I applaud this father for likely being the only man that ever spoke of meting out any form of discipline to these kids. It’s notable that the father and the kids on the bus are Black. And that’s because in Black America, the vast majority of kids are born to single mothers and never have a father in their lives. This girl is lucky that she not only has a father in her life, but a father that cares enough to risk his freedom to protect her. Sorry, but I think the criticism of this man is unwarranted, and he’s actually doing what a parent whose child is under attack should do–protecting his child.

I’m appalled at the storm of criticism he faces versus the absentee parents who taught their kids–the rest of the kids on the bus–that it’s okay to harass a disabled girl. It’s more of what I’ve been writing about on this site for years–the death of outrage. That the outrage is against this father, and not these kids and their sperm- and womb-donor “parents,” is the true outrage. As I’ve noted before. The outrageous are now the celebrated “outraged.”

Maybe Jones might have used different language, but it seems to me that this lingua franca of the street is the only thing they understand, and they’ve heard it plenty of times before. And since it got to this point, perhaps that language was expressly called for. What if the father had done nothing and “let the authorities handle it”? What if the bullying escalated and she was further physically attacked? Then, it might be too late. I applaud this father, James Willie Jones. The sad thing is that most people do not.

So, am I right? Do you agree with me that this father was forced to take matters into his own hands? How would you have handled it if this was your daughter? I definitely don’t think he should have apologized. For what? Protecting his family? You never apologize for that.

The kid of a father who would do this to protect his kid is a lucky kid, indeed. What used to be the norm is, sadly, all too uncommon. Most parents don’t care. James Willie Jones does.

And to me, that makes him a candidate for Father of the Year.
