There's not an iota of evidence Dunn was in fear of bodily harm, and his communications from jail indicate he was a mean-spirited racist.

Another white man who shot and killed a black kid for no reason, and the crime was nullified by whites on a jury in Florida. What a surprise. I doubt, when he is dying in a prison hospital a couple decades from now, that he will think he got away with anything. How many life terms do you think he needs to have? He is looking at well over 60 years now and that is before they apply three 10-20 life terms to his current convictions. He will be in jail until Florida DOC decides they don't want to pay to watch him die, in the world's most expensive geriatric facility, a prison. I think seeing him convicted of a murder charge might send a message to at least a few of the armed-up morons who think they can shoot a kid if he is offensive verbally or cuts through his yard to somewhere else or teepees one of his trees. At the moment, Dunn is unconvicted of murder. That is an embarrassment. I read where at least nine of the jurors voted to convict him of murder. |

The vast majority of gun owners would never respond to a teenage prank by shooting at them. Precisely. The SYG bull**** laws have convinced feeble-minded gun owners that they can act out their aggressions and shoot people for any reason they can conjure and then claim they felt threatened. As I pointed out to you offline. SYG is just an invention of the media and it does really not exist in the Florida law. If Zimmerman and Dunn have not made this apparent to anyone,, they are too stupid to have a gun. Unfortunately it is still being promoted by the media for their own reasons. I think the discussions of what may have happened in the jury deliberations negate your posit. When the jury members start talking, we'll know. If you look at the verdicts it appears that they had juror(s) with reasonable doubt on self defense for the first shot or two but continuing to shoot at a fleeing vehicle was a crime. I agree if that was the case. I do not think "retreat" was really an option since his girlfriend was still going to be there if he left.

Another white man who shot and killed a black kid for no reason, and the crime was nullified by whites on a jury in Florida. What a surprise. Please define 'iota'. Did Dunn not say he was within seconds of being murdered by someone with a shotgun? From the jury's perspective, is that not evidence - or at least an 'iota' thereof? "He was lying," you say. How was the jury to know what *you* know to be the truth? If someone says he shot a picture of two owls down by the creek, what reason is there not to believe that statement? It's true until evidence proves otherwise. Perhaps Dunn did get away with murder. But you don't know that. I'm not at all interested in racist rationalizations from white guys who if they served on a jury would never find another white guy guilty of killing a black teenager. From where comes that? We're talking about evidence. Dunn murdered the kid and so far, has gotten away with it. I hope he is tried again, and charged with 2nd degree murder and convicted. Like I say, the jury had evidence. You have none. If he's tried again, found guilty of 2d degree murder, and convicted, then he'll deserve whatever additional punishment is thrown his way. Until then, keep the owl story in mind. Yup. The owl story is pretty good testament to Krause's honesty and integrity. I don't think Harry understands the analogy. |

Don't you think doing 60 years for simply shooting at someone will send a message? I still blame Corey for the over reach. If she had just started with murder 2 or man slaughter she may have had more luck. Making the top count murder 1 created a situation where she had to prosecute a case she did not have. It's not the number of years that matter, it's the conviction of murder. In some states, if you prosecute for Murder 1, the jury can say no to that and convict on Murder 2. Is that an option in Florida? |

Do you not see any problem with a legal precedent that justifies and excuses deadly violence simply by claiming an imagined fear? To you and Harry, the fear was 'imagined'. To Dunn, it may have been very real. That's a decision for the jury. Harry only cares about black teenagers when they are shot by white guys. Most are killed by other black teenagers and he doesn't give a **** about them (3 so far in Ft Myers since New Years plus a white homeless man). Where is MSNBC on that? Another of your absurdities, Gregg. The Dunn case was of interest because of the circumstances and the trial, and more on it is coming. So you don't care about other disputes that resulted in a dead kid as long as they are all black. OK Why are you sliding down that slide? You're smarter than that. |

Maybe you're on a water slide? Greg made a very valid point. Attacking him for the point is not much of a defense. |

The vast majority of gun owners would never respond to a teenage prank by shooting at them. The "vast majority of gun owners" weren't in this man's predicament. Got nothing to do with the news media. Guns are made and sold for shooting. No surprise here. Guns are made and sold for shooting but the decision to do so is up to the owner. This guy made the wrong choice and it's very possible it was influenced by media coverage of SYG laws. |
