http://m.nydailynews.com/1.1209345A Florida man asked a group of teens at a gas station to turn down the loud music blaring from their car and, after an exchange of words, opened fire on the vehicle, killing a 17-year-old boy, authorities said.
Michael Dunn, 45, of Satellite Beach, has been charged with murder for the Friday slaying of Jordan Davis, 17, a black high school student from the Jacksonville area.
His lawyer said Dunn, who is white, thought he saw a gun and felt threatened during the incident, indicating that he may seek protection under the states controversial Stand Your Ground Law, according to local reports.

The acquittal is already set and just needs that all white jury to put the ink to it.

Although gun nuts and bigots will gather around him.
Expect Zimmerman to show up as activist for bigotry and gun nuttery.

I'm afraid this guy is going to get off as well. The state will promote an incompetent prosecutor to drop the ball so the white guy walks.

(5,909 posts)15. I agree.
Or just plant a tiny seed that that this boy was threat and you can get away with murder.
I'm afraid it will only get worse.
You know how many racist gun nuts (never mind the NRA) are celebrating "justice" today?
Disgusting and frightening.
I just read it--- fuck me. Crazy shit!
