Jordan Russell Davis, 17, was killed by Michael David Dunn, 45, over loud music the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 23, 2012.
*The Trayvon Martin case made national attention in February 2011, and won’t make it to court until June 10, 2013.
But, now there’s a new case, again, out of Florida, that will hopefully point out further flaws in the Stand Your Ground law.
Michael David Dunn, 45, is a Florida gun collector that came to Jacksonville, Florida, for a wedding. He was waiting in the car for his girlfriend while she ran into a gas station store, when he was annoyed by loud music coming from an SUV parked next to him with three young men inside.
He told them to cut it down and words were exchanged. Dunn began to fire into the truck eight or nine times, killing high school junior, Jordan Russell Davis, 17, who was seated in the backseat of the SUV.
I heard this story on Tuesday night and it is unbelievable to think another clueless idiot is going to try and use that lame Stand Your Ground excuse, words were exchanged yes but unless the teens produced a weapon how it that reason ot open fire on a car of young people???? Dunn just wanted any excuse to shot someone, another senseless killing!!!
correction- shoot someone
Just sickening, it’s time to make an example of these gun totin’ bigots!
I see this case going in the direction of Trayvon Martin in so many ways. The media is going to work it until people will start doubting whether it is the cold blooded murder that it is. Now he’s talking how someone pointed a shotgun at him and screamed “Kill that mother**er, that mother**er dead, you dead bi**h.”
Just like the Trayvon Martin case, you have a black person minding their own business and a white person going out of their way to confront them. They were parked there before him. He chooses to park next to them. Why didn’t he go somewhere else if the music was bothering him? Just like Zimmerman, he wants to play cop.
The way I look at it, the cops do the same and get away with it. They kill black people then claim they saw a gun, and even though none was ever found, they got off without even a trial. I already have a bad feeling about how this will end.
I am waiting to see exactly what this man is going to get away with. From what I understand, he kept firing, even after the teens drove way. It is illegal ANYwhere to fire at a moving vehicle.
