RACIAL INJUSTICE LEADS TO MURDER-OUTSIDE NEW ORLEANS CLUB"

Three bouncers from New Orleans proved that you can still get away with murder.

Arthur Irons and two other bouncers killed Levon Jones, a young black student from Georgia, on videotape in front of a crowd of witnesses. Jones was denied entrance to Razoo, a bar on Bourbon Street, because his hoodie supposedly violated the unlisted and undocumented dress code. All of his white friends dressed casually as well, but were allowed in. At some point while arguing about this, Irons shoved Jones and — eyewitness accounts differ — Jones may have taken a swing at the bouncer.

Dress codes are simply an excuse for doormen to refuse entry to people they don’t want in the bar. And on Bourbon Street it’s common practice that if you have some form of clothing covering at least one part of your body, you’re in.

Levon Jones was knocked to the ground and Arthur Irons put him in a choke hold. The 300-pound bouncer put all of his weight on the young student and continued to choke him until police arrived 14 minutes later. Security cameras, as well as one of Jones’ friends, captured all of this on tape. When a police officer finally arrived on the scene, he handcuffed the now lifeless body (after asking if the bouncers wanted to do the honors themselves) and left Jones facedown in the street until paramedics arrived.

The 14-minute chokehold had crushed Jones’ windpipe.

Iron’s attorney managed to get the trial moved from Orleans Parish where black people comprise 67 percent of the population, to Calcasieu Parish, where the population is 73 percent white. Somehow, the defense team managed to get a jury with only one black member.

And somehow these people decided to acquit Irons, despite the video footage, eyewitness accounts and testimony from the coroner, not to mention the fact that Irons admitted to applying the choke hold for the 14 minutes.
