The Michael Dunn's Mistrial opens up Old Wounds in Florida


Florida loves to cause racial dis-harmony.

Yesterday was the closing of the Michael Dunn trial.

Real Quick Info: Michael Dunn got into an argument with some Black teens over their loud music. He wanted them to cut it down, then argument escalated and Michael start shooting at them, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

Michael was put on trail for 1st degree murder. After days of deliberations, the jurors found Michael guilty of three counts of attempted 2nd degree murder and a count of firing into an occupied car. However, a mistrial was declared on the 1st murder charge.

Each of the 2nd degree murder charges count for 30 years, and other charge counts up to 15 years. So Michael could serve 75 years in jail. But the issue is the 1st degree murder charge. Why did that one end up as a mistrial? And why was he charged for attempting to kill vs the ACTUAL KILLING? And who in the frak are these fu*king jurors? My God!

My heart goes out to the Davis family. They have to live through this. They have to live with that fact their son's life didn't count for much. Michael thought he could kill four people and claim he was defending himself... Please.

I hope he goes to prison for a long ass time. He deserves that.

I thought character mattered. I wonder why there were no character witnesses? This wicked system was designed to destroy Blacks and I am not with that. The gentrification too.

Michael Dunn will go to prison, but it's still highly disturbing that he'll go away for attempted murder and not the one he committed.

These laws must change or we will see one of two things if they don't.
1) this scene will play out again.
2) people are going to start killing one another just because they can say" I was afraid for my life".
