Michael Dunn was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of 17-year-old Jordan Davis in September, 2012 after an argument over loud music. The jury took about 5 hours to reach a verdict on Wednesday. A jury deadlocked in February over whether to convict him of killing Davis. He was convicted on three counts of attempted murder for shooting at Davis' friends in the car. Dunn testified at this month's trial as well as his last that he killed Davis in self-defense after the teen threatened him. He also said he thought Davis had a gun, but no weapon was ever found. At a press conference after the verdict was read, Davis' father, Ron, told reporters,"We must do a better job of loving each other." More from the Associated Press: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A jury has found a Florida man guilty of first-degree murder for fatally shooting a teenager after an argument over loud music outside a Jacksonville convenience store. The jury reached its verdict Wednesday after more than five hours of deliberations. Prosecutors say Michael Dunn shot with intent to kill when he fired 10 times into an SUV carrying 17-year-old Jordan Davis and three of his friends in November 2012. Dunn testified that he thought his life was in danger. Davis was from Marietta, Georgia. Dunn was convicted previously of three counts of attempted second-degree murder in February and already faces at least 60 years in prison. The jury in the first trial deadlocked on the first-degree murder count, which led prosecutors to retry him in this case. Simon McCormack
How does a white guy getting convicted for shooting black guys support your stupid notion of white privilege?
Because he's back to his cut & paste trying to show how racism works in his feeble mind. And why he keeps posting cases of where a black is shot by a white I have no clue. So I'll post one with roles reversed .. and these occur a lot more than the other way around. But cases like the one below are not covered by Salon or Huff Post as they don't fit the liberal woe is me BS. http://www.islandpacket.com/2013/10/08/2727821_body-of-missing-beaufort-man-found.html?rh=1 Here's a college kid trying to sell his truck .. 2 thugs say they're interested, then say they aren't. Then they ask for a test drive. Then they shoot the college kid in the back of the head killing him and go on a rampage with his credit cards and party until the thugs are eventually caught. Mr. idiot will probably say these 'negroes' (his word) have had a disadvantaged life.
Whites are being systematically exterminated in South Africa. That's where Blacks are coming from pretty muchly. Who gives a care about all these Blacks in the US of A really? I don't. Democrats don't. Democrats just herd them into inner city reservations, tell them they're abject losers due to racism and pay for their votes with welfare and public sector jobs. Democrats tell them things are getting better while producing messes like Detroit. All this bullshit in Ferguson is just political theater to get the Black Vote out for the upcoming elections. They are being trained to hate whites, to vote against whites, to have the government steal money from whites and give it to them. Democrats need those Black Votes like a crack whore needs rocks and they will go to the same lengths to get them.
This case has sounded like a miscarriage of justice to me from the getgo, but it is illustrative of how far the system will bend to go after whites who act in self defense against black thugs. We saw it with Zimmerman, and the craven prosecutors here probably wanted to avoid another Zimmerman race hustler circus. There are two templates for viewing this case, just like there were with Zimmerman. One, a crazed white guy pulls his gun and opens up on some fun-loving but harmless black youth for no discernible reason other than racial prejudice. The other, an older white man is confronted by a carful of black gangbangers late at night in a lonely parking lot, with his GF still inside the store. They are cursing at him and threatening him and he thinks he sees a weapon. Fanciful? We see cases like that every day. Blacks start shooting over some perceived insult or dis. Was there a weapon? they had plenty of time to ditch it before police arrived. Certainly they aren't going to sit there in the car with guns and claim they didn't threaten the guy. Which scenario is more likely? And how does a parking lot confrontation turn into first degree, ie premeditated, murder?
