She also said that she felt that he should have just backed out and moved over a space.
My good buddy is an LEO, and a huge supporter of the 2nd Amendment and responsible civilians being armed to defend themselves.
He tells me Dunn basically did EVERYTHING wrong. He was carrying while drinking, he instigated the confrontation, fired at an unarmed person seated in a vehicle, fired at a fleeing vehicle, fled the scene, and talked to the police without an atty present.
:banghead:
He said the rule of thumb if you carry a gun, is the only altercation you can get into is a gunfight (meaning you can't go around starting arguements that might escalate into a physical confrontation).
Oh, and don't take your guns out drinking:facepalm:.
I put the entire trial up on my Youtube account breaking it down by each witness. Well I just got an email that someone commented on MD's testimony. [modsnip]
You can find it here;
I don't think Dunn and Rhonda will be together to much longer. There are a lot of women out there that actually like hooking up (so to speak) with guys in prison and I am sure he has probably gotten his share of letters by now. Plus, just listen to the whining on the taped phone calls, by both of them...that will get old soon.
on all the other stuff, I think we live in very scary times. Besides the passive racism that has become palpable at times...people are becoming ruder, aggressive and hateful in just everyday life with each other. Add guns and a new found "Holier than thou" religious attitude...a "I've got mine, now leave me alone and get off my lawn or I shoot" attitude by some baby boomers, and a fear of EVERYTHING because you just know "they" are coming after YOU! Mix in some stirred up anger from the far right, the far left, CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC. You got the perfect mix for a very screwed up and dangerous society.
our hope is our children. But sadly it won't be hope long lived if we allow the angry old guys with guns, very powerful guns with hollowed tips designed to do max damage to a young persons body, who then laugh on a witness stand and make a mockery of a young mans life gone too soon. Too sad to go on...can only smh in sorrow, shame, disgust
::heartbeat:. Rest in sweet peace Jordan...you cannot be hurt anymore.

I was so excited to see what all was being discussed from Nightline. I guess NOT.
Thank you for sharing this. And please thank your friend. I wish more gun owners were like him. :seeya:
Not much to discuss, I gather -- from a post upthread
The juror pretty much said what I expected: that they couldn't decide between self defense and murder but agreed him continuing to shoot at a fleeing car "crossed the line."
Well I watched it and thought it was very enlightening. :seeya:

Juror #4 who asked to be identified simply as Valerie said two and then three jurors ultimately believed Michael Dunn was justified in the 2012 shooting death of Jordan Davis. Valerie, who wanted a conviction, says the group knew within the first hour that they would be unable to reach a unanimous decision.

That's disappointing. Apparently minds were made up before they even started. IMHO
