As people angered over the not guilty verdict handed down by the jury to George Zimmerman continue their demonstrations across the country including Seattle, one wonders how they would have reacted in 2008 if Ed McMichael had been armed and was able to defend himself against the thugs who fatally beat him.
McMichael was otherwise fondly known as the “Tuba Man.” He was an iconic fixture, setting up shop as a street musician outside of Seattle sports events. He died several days after being beaten by three unarmed teens,William “Billy” Chambers, Ja’Mari Jones and Kenneth D. Kelly. McMichael was white, his killers are not. All three got off pretty light and were relatively soon back on the streets, where they got in trouble again. All three are currently behind bars for unrelated offenses, and it should be noted that all of those offenses involve firearms.
