Another Miscarriage Of Justice Under Florida's Stand Your Ground Law

A Florida jury found 47-year-old Michael Dunn guilty on four of five charges, regarding a violent incident that resulted in the murder of 17-year-old minor Jordan Davis. The jury could not come to a decisive vote on the "first degree murder" charge in Davis' death, resulting in a mistrial regarding the corresponding count. However, Dunn was remanded into custody, convicted of three charges of attempted murder and one count of firing into a vehicle. Prosecutors have stated Dunn will be retried for "first degree murder" regarding Davis' death.

Misapplying the dangerous "Stand Your Ground" law, Dunn shot unarmed Davis to death for playing loud music in a vehicle with the teen's three friends outside a convenience store in Jacksonville, Florida. Dunn irrationally opened fire on Davis and his friends in their SUV. Prosecutors stated Dunn "fired round after round after round" riddling the car with bullets, because the teenage occupants refused to turn the music down, which is a crazy and irrational reaction.

In a move indicative of psychopathy, Dunn ordered pizzas after the murder of the African-American teen, like nothing happened, rather than calling police. A person of this mindset cannot be allowed to roam the streets among civilized people. He has no respect for human life.

Dunn has been described by a neighbor and the press as a racist alcoholic, who despises minorities, for as he sees it, taking over in America. One of his neighbor's revealed to police that Dunn once sought a person to kill another human being over a perceived slight. Statements and jailhouse letters penned by Dunn are riddled with racist items and references.

Many are crying foul over this case, as it bears similarities to the Trayvon Martin murder, where an innocent teen was stalked and murdered in cold blood by self-appointed neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who walked away scot-free. Zimmerman has since gone on to commit other acts of violence against his wife, father-in-law and girlfriend in three separate incidents.
