This incident happened in November 2012 when Jordan Davis and his friends were sitting in their car parked in a Jacksonville convenience-store parking lot. Davis was sitting in the back seat of the car and like many teenagers, they were listening to music being played over their car’s stereo.
Like George Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin, a 46 year old white man named Michael Dunn went over to where the teens were parked and told the them to turn their music down. Of course, Mr. Dunn had the option of going about his business without paying any attention to the teens, but he chose to start an argument with the teens. He then took out his gun and shoot 10 rounds into the car, killing Jordan Davis.
Dunn claimed he heard threats coming from the car and saw a shotgun. He said he feared for his life and was only Standing His Ground. He was arrested and charged with first degree murder in Davis’ death, and faces three other counts of attempted first degree murder for shooting into the car.
Police did not find any guns in the victim’s car.
Dunn has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail in a Duval County, Florida, jail.
His trial is scheduled to begin on September 23.
If history is any guide, the so-called justice system in Florida will probably let this goon off too.
