Michael Dunn convicted of murder in the first degree

"A white Florida man was convicted Wednesday of first-degree murder in the shooting death of a black teenager who was playing loud music in a car in a Jacksonville parking lot."
"Michael Dunn, 47, had been convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder in February, but a jury deadlocked on the top count of the indictment, charging him with the murder of 17-year-old Jordan Davis in November 2012."
"In a Wednesday afternoon news conference, Duval County's state attorney, Angela B. Corey, said she will pursue a life sentence against Dunn, without the possibility of parole."
"We don't believe he ever needs to be out of prison," she told reporters.
The gunfire erupted after Dunn said he asked Davis and three other teenagers to lower their music in a convenience store parking lot. Dunn fired 10 shots into the teens' sport utility vehicle, striking Davis three times."
"Dunn has said he was acting in self-defense and saw what he believed to be the butt of a shotgun through the SUV's window. Police did not recover a weapon, and prosecutors argued Dunn opened fire because he felt disrespected by a young black man."

“If you are defending your life, you don’t then run from the scene," Corey said." LATimes

Good.

A good start.

Now if we need to make a similar example out of Darren Wilson.

Who defended his life and DIDN'T run from the scene?

You fucking moron.

Y'know Zeke...you're just going to have to trust me about this one thing. You need a lot of drinks. To kill the bug that you have up your ass.

And I was foolish enough to think that you, me and TJ were at the point where we could all sing Kumbaya together and go hang out in the sweat lodge with our pants off.

HAW! :D Can I come too? I'll bring some Weller 107proof KSBW and a bag o' California's finest.

Who said we'all can't get along??????

Shirley was 55 there. Wasn't she just spectacular looking? And Nicholson's talking with his mouth full. It's just great.

Whoever told her she looked good in that dress should be slapped.

Uh, that's a costume. The idea of the dress wasn't to look good. It was to look like what the character in the movie, with her special cluster of personality disorders, would think would look good.

I don't much care about women's shmata.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, an a quick look-up of shmata didn't help....

A Yiddish term for a rag, towel, or washclothes. You'll probably hear your Jewish grandmother saying it, "Get that damn shmata you shmuk! "

From the Urban dictionary.

Shmata...any sort of clothes or rags that once were clothes. I've often been called a schmuck...never a shmuk though. The latter looks more Inuit than Yid. Shmuk them walrus sinews, eh?

Back to Dunn.

Unfortunately for him Florida's justice system is pretty darn racist.

As a result, he's going to find himself locked up with a whole lot of black dudes.

Dunn is done.

I get it now--you saw half a chance to work some Yiddish into the conversation, and went for it. Yiddish is always groovy. :)

I did a late edit. Walrus sinew seemed so much more...ethnic.

Zeke, so you are saying he called the police, waited until they showed up, and turned himself in to them in the parking lot?

THAT is what most sane people would say would be not fleeing the scene.

BAM!

Zeke's response to me was in regard to Darren Wilson, not Dunn.

That being said, I consider them both to be cold blooded murderers, however Wilson will get away with it because he's a cop.

Speaking of "stand your ground" type laws...here's a link to a HuffPo column from a couple of years ago on the Indiana Castle Law regarding individual rights of self-defense from the coppers. Interesting...and at first glance a fairly well-balanced perspective, no?
