Diversity Makes Greatness
"Lucia Kay McBath (née Holman; born June 1, 1960) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Georgia's 6th congressional district. The district includes many of Atlanta's affluent northern suburbs, such as Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, and parts of Tucker and Marietta. She is a member of the Democratic Party."
She was happy as a flight attendant for Delta Airlines. Carved herself out a nice niche in life. Had a nice family. That was all before 2012.
Then her life changed.
"McBath's son, Jordan Davis, was murdered in November 2012. She became an advocate for gun control, joining other mothers of African-American murder victims to form the Mothers of the Movement, and spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. McBath ran for the House of Representatives in 2018 and defeated Republican incumbent Karen Handel. "

"The murder of Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old high school student, happened on Friday, November 23, 2012, at a Gate Petroleum gas station in Jacksonville, Florida, United States by Michael David Dunn, a 45-year-old software developer, following an argument over loud music played by Davis and his three friends. Dunn was convicted on three counts of attempted second-degree murder for firing at three other teenagers who were with Davis and one count of firing into a vehicle. The jury could not reach a verdict about whether to convict Dunn for the murder of Jordan Davis at the first trial. In a second trial, Dunn was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Jordan Davis.[2]"
"The bass from loud hip-hop music ("Beef" by Lil Reese, Lil Durk and Fredo Santana) playing in the teens' SUV annoyed Dunn, who asked for it to be turned down.[4][7] The front seat passenger, Tevin Thompson, initially complied, but Jordan Davis requested the music to be turned back up.[8][9]
The argument continued and an independent witness overheard Dunn say, "You aren't going to talk to me like that." Dunn, who had a concealed weapons permit,[3] took a handgun out of his glove compartment and started firing at Davis's door, hitting him in the legs, lungs, and aorta. As the SUV backed up to evade his gunshots, Dunn opened his own door and continued firing at the car in shooter's stance, later testifying that he still feared for his safety as well as that of Rouer, who was to return to the vehicle imminently.[10] "
"Dunn's former neighbor, Charles Hendrix, said he was not surprised by his behavior.[32][33] Hendrix commented on Dunn, whom he described as arrogant and controlling, (Just like somebody we all know very well by now...) adding that Dunn's ex-wives told him that Dunn was violent and abusive toward them, although he never personally witnessed this.[33] Hendrix spoke of a previous discussion where Dunn asked him if he knew anyone who would "take care of" someone who infuriated him in an unrelated incident, and Hendrix interpreted further discussion as Dunn wanting to send a hit on this person.[32]"
"Dunn was given a sentence of life in prison without parole plus 90 years.[29]"
Dunn is where he belongs now.
Murder of Jordan Davis
Wow. That is some powerful motivation to do something.
It must be terrible to lose a child.
And worse to lose one to stupid hatred.
One small good thing out of it: Dunn is ineligible to vote as a Florida Convict.
