Michael Dunn, convicted last month for the murder of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, was sentenced today to life in prison with no chance of parole. Since prosecutors did not seek the death penalty in Dunn's first-degree murder trial, the conviction carried a mandatory life sentence. Judge Russell Healey told the would be ground-stander:
Dunn left the scene of the crime because he was also drunk driving and did't want to exacerbate the issue of his obviously heinous crime, which he knew he couldn't avoid be identified as having committed. Alcohol is involved in 75% of all homicides, wherever they take place. Booze simply magnifies the confrontational bully in all of us; and it's legal. Our Nation's foreign policy was crafted by alcoholics, like: When challenged the answer is always : "Oh, yeah? Ya wanna step outside and settle this like men?" You can't think or argue intelligently when sloshed; but you sure as hell can fight.
Michael Dunn got what he deserved and can spend the rest of his miserable life writing whine letters to his daughter. Hopefully the dopey girlfriend drops him like a hot potato.
Just finished watching the HBO documentary and stumbled upon this article. I can't stand it either when a kid pulls up beside me with his music blaring, especially if I have to hear curse words and my children are in the car. I will say something too. I also agree with stand your ground laws. The problem here is that this idiot wasn't in any danger. It's obvious these kids weren't gangbangers, which he immediately knew, because really. How many gangbangers will turn the music down because a middle aged white guy tells them to? He KNEW he wasn't in danger and murdered that poor kid. What a lying piece of shit. He could have pointed the gun at them. He could've aimed at the tires. He could've shot a warning shot. If they had a gun, one of them would've used it. The fact that he emptied the clip shows he was intent on killing someone. He deserves everything he gets.
The RAP Music industry is to blame but, if you don't have any education I can readily see how you would disagree. I see someone blaming alcohol in some way but, fail to see that the loud music especially Rap, which is designed around the exact same artificial production of adrenaline, is the same thing. The kids hooked on adrenaline produced by rap music is what drove Michael crazy. It does the same for me and for some odd reason, I just didn't have a gun so many times when some dipshit kid was blasting his Rap bullshit to the limits of my sanity.
Talk about imminent threats (blahs).

What about the Chinese he was willing to settle for after he was acquitted? Mentioned in one of his letters to mom.
One tantalizing thought: Florida prisons aren't air-conditioned.
Few if any are air-conditioned. Let him work up a good sweat.

She's already moved on. See 'ya...
His lawyer has filed an appeal claiming the jury was "bias." WTF?
I like it.
Sorry for "what happened"... instead of "what I did." Jerk.

How about when you are in the radio store and debating whether or not to purchase that blasted ghetto blaster amplifier?
You seem like a fine human being, and an excellent reminder to close threads after they reach a certain age. Goodbye, asshat.

"our society seems to have lost its way."
The Amurrica, Fuck Yeah crowd is not going to be happy.
He thought black kids listening to loud music were scary and/or a threat.
Welcome to jail, Mr. Dunn, where we put very threatening people! Oh, and some of them happen to also be black!
Perhaps finally he will learn how to spot the differences between actual criminals and average kids.
