ATLANTA - Our community needs your help, support and prayers.
If it is ok to murder someone because of one's disdain or fear of that person's sexual orientation, then I fear none of us are safe. I am reminded of the Old Testament passage which says; You know what it is that God requires of you, that you do acts of justice, act mercifully and walk humble with God". If you, family or friends can attend please help us do an act of justice and mercy that day.....Thank you. If you have questions or need more information please feel free to call me or drop me an e-mail.
GAY MAN MURDERED IN COBB, KILLER WALKS
Cobb Candlelight Vigil, Saturday, March 22, 7 to 8 pm on "The Square" in downtown Marietta.
Ahmed Dabarran, a gay man, was brutally murdered in Cobb County and his murderer walked free because the trial focused more on the victim's sexual orientation than on his being bludgeoned to death with more than a dozen blows to the head. Every bone in Ahmed's head was broken and his skull pancaked so that it ended up in his spine. According to experienced trial attorneys present in the courtroom, the Cobb prosecutor totally blew the case. He was indifferent and inept, and his disdain for this gay crime victim was obvious despite the fact that Ahmed was an assistant district attorney in neighboring Fulton County. The murderer confessed to the crime, but in Cobb County he got off because the victim was gay.
The Cobb Candlelight Vigil to remember Ahmed Dabarran and expose this travesty of justice will be held on Saturday, March 22, 7 to 8 pm on The Square, in downtown Marietta.
