JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida man charged with fatally shooting a
17-year-old boy after an argument over loud music testified Tuesday that
he thought he saw the barrel of a gun from a neighboring vehicle pointed
at him and that he feared for his life before firing his weapon.

They have been covering this wall to wall on CNN for a couple days but
I didn't watch much TV today.

I think Corey has reached too far again. This is probably a decent 2d
degree case but I don't think they have proved premeditation.

If his lawyer got any traction with his story that they pointed a
tripod out the window pretending that it was a shotgun and saying they
were going to kill Dunn, he might walk

A lot was made about the number of shots he fired but O'mara made an
interesting point commenting on CNN. When cops shoot, they usually
empty their gun and they are supposed to be trained professionals.


Hey, it's stand your ground Florida. Everyone knows it's OK for white
racists to shoot and kill black teenagers there, right?


No, and most folks have more ****ing sense than to make such comments.

But that's just 'most', eh?



Yeah, because the shooter waited a couple of days to report his
involvement, and at his trial whined that the police didn't find the
kid's shotgun which, of course, they had no idea the kids had. The
shooter was "standing his ground."

Florida's stand your ground law seems little more than a payoff to the
gun lobby to provide a reason for hotheads to walk around armed in the
hope they'll be able to shoot someone and get away with it. The law
sells more guns.

Are you and your wife going to be packing when you walk your dog in the
neighborhood?
