Michael Dunn Sentenced to Life Without Parole
Michael Dunn
The man who was found guilty on three counts of attempted 2nd degree murder, firing a missile, and 1st degree murder, for killing 17-year old, unarmed Jordan Davis, has been sentenced.
Michael Dunn will spend the rest of his life in prison without parole, plus 105 years.
Dunn gave a half-ass apology, stating;
“I want the Davis family to know I truly regret what happened. I’m sorry for their loss,” If I could roll back time and do things differently, I would. I was in fear for my life and I did what I thought I had to do. Still, I am mortified I took a life, whether it was justified or not.”
As soon as a video of the sentencing hearing is available, I’ll update here.

Hey Jackie! I applaud the jury for acknowledging and believing all of the evidence, and reaching the proper verdict. I applaud Judge Healey for saying, in so many words, that Dunn can’t interpret the law to make it mean what he wants.

Dunn’s sentencing on the 3 counts of 2nd degree attempted murder is 30 years for each count to run consecutively — 90 years. He got 15 years for firing a gun into an occupied vehicle. That is to run concurrently with the 90 years. The life sentence for 1st degree murder is without parole.

The correct outcome. If racism is to be ended,the 1st way to start is correct applications of laws. Michael Dunn thought he wouldn’t be convicted of any of these crimes. He could only think that because racism/white supremacy left so many examples of white not being punished for killing blacks. This also sends a blow to those who only believe in self defense for whites only,even when there clearly is no self defense. While there are countless examples of unjust killings to be determined ,it has been good to see these examples.
Ted Wafer given life in prison for killing Renisha McBride. 17 yr starting point not strong enough,at least he didn’t get away with murder.
Detective Joseph Walker acquittal of killing Joseph Harvey.The issue was the racial double standard that even a black police officer was subjected to. I repeat Walker did what LEOs do all the time,shoot unarmed people and say I did it because I felt threatened .I had no choice. Harvey was a racist multiple arrest having criminal,known violent person and said to Walker F– you N——. Ill kill you f—-g n—–. Yet wasn’t demonized like Trayvon,Renisha,Mike Brown,Jordan Davis and so many black people.

You’re right. There is a double-standard. Black parents have had to stand against the worst racial bigots and their defamation while also grieving. When the killer is not arrested, that is added stress to their plate.

About the “scum,” you are so right. What they intended for evil was used for good. What they don’t understand is that I did not come to the blogs around July 2012 for the purpose of debating them. I came to advocate justice for Trayvon and share that power and experience with others of like-mind. Love is eternal and it our root.
I love the symbolism in the movie Avatar with the roots of the trees all being connected, and the people able to access love throughout the ages of their history through the branches of the tree. Those who sought to destroy the people were going to destroy that tree so the people would lose their knowledge and faith. But, the tree itself called out the life around it to protect it from destruction. Because love never fails.

We are living an American Horror Story.
The unlawful slaughter of black bodies by the hands of power has continued day after day, year after year, century after century, life by precious life, since before the first chain was slipped around black wrists.
Black youth, brimming with untapped potential, but seen as worthless and unimportant. Black activists, stalwart in pursuit of liberation, but perceived as perpetual threats to order and comfort. Black men, truly and earnestly clinging to our dignity, written off as the ravenous, insatiable black savage. Black women, always unflinchingly running toward our freedom, dismissed as bitter and angry after long denial and suffering.

They need to learn tolerance and respect others. If not, plain and simple we don’t want that person to have a gun.

Maybe Dunn sincerely believed that he too could use a self-defense claim and rally gun supporters and bigots to advocate for him??
Well, I watched this from the beginning, in Nov. 2012, and can say that the bigots who rallied around Zimmerman showed little interest to knowing nothing of the case until I and Leatherman reported on it after the verdict in Zimmerman’s case. Then, they didn’t rally in support of Dunn but attacked attorney John Phillips instead (as if Phillips was the prosecutor).

You can’t make up witnesses caught on video. You can’t make up the fact that NOT ONE officer has ever been indicted in that area when it came to a shooting, resulting in death. You can’t make up the FACT……..that this Grand Jury is corrupt, if ONLY for leaking so-called information they were SWORN not to disclose!

GM Kind, we’re on the same page. They played the shuffle game as to why no report exist.
IIRC, STL county took over the investigation and was supposedly to have interviewed Wilson.
(yea right) then “they thought” it was handled through FPD. (uh huh)
What strikes me is no one is held accountable, not even the feds are doing jack kabuki about it. If we live in a country that no one has the power to admonish LE, we’re in deep dooky.
I think they have the power but politics has overruled everything down to what we eat.
The Grand Jury is a joke. It’s a charade to distract as far as I’m concerned. I’d be awfully surprised if they indict Wilson. These unnamed spokesperson surely speaks loud/clear; dirty pool.

Think about this. If Mike did reach for Wilson’s gun, highly unlikely, he’d have the seat backrest in the way. When seated a holster points the gun barrel forward and the breech to the rear.
This physics of this tale rival Fogen claiming Trayvon saw a pistol he himself demonstrated was behind him.

Finally Jordan’s parents can find some peace and closure knowing that their son’s killer will be held accountable for his actions. Dunn’s “apology” was empty and just another attempt to justify his actions and shows that he still isn’t sorry.
LikeLike
Towerflower, Dunn’s apology was nothing more than a regurgitation of his defense. Judge Healey was right-on when saying (my paraphrase) that Dunn had options. His first option was to keep his mouth shut and if the music aggravated him that much, to move his car. It must also devastate Dunn to know that he is also serving 60 years for attempting to murder Tommie, who his defense tried painting as a criminal violating probation.
Notice, Dunn had no apology for those he is convicted of attempting to kill. Those young men will spend the rest of their lives with the experience of hearing and seeing Jordan dying, with bullets shot by Dunn flying within an inch of their heads.

Exactly! I DID notice that .. like, aren’t you forgetting a few things Dunnster? But, really, what non-apology, passive language could he come up with to address those guys? Something like:

Dunn gave us a glimpse into what he was thinking when still shooting after the SUV pulled off. It was hidden in what he said about leaving the scene because he wanted to talk to his LE buddy to give his story. He said that he didn’t want to be in a situation where there were 4 stories against his one. Well, he knew by the news that he killed one, so he must have been alluding to their being another witness. He figured he could lie his way out of things if there was only one witness so yes, he wanted to kill all 4.

He sure did and the more he talked, the more he showed what he was all about.
During the trial, his testimony and his so called apology. He’s exactly like GZ except GZ got off, walked right out of that court room a free man. He says he fears for his life?? Is he kidding me and frankly I hope he does for the rest of his life.
He fears for his life, Dunn feared for his life???? BS!!
I wish that they did.
Then they would have known how frightened Trayvon was, Jordan and his close friends.
NOW that’s what real fear is and they have no idea.
The very fact of him trying to get to his friend, WHAT? Didn’t he know there were witnesses all around that gas station. I’m surprised the cops didn’t follow him right there.
Here if they even think you may be driving a stolen car, there’s at least a dozen cop cars following them.
I’m thankful the one with that kind of hate is in prison for the rest of his life and hopefully they get GZ off of the streets.
It’s just a matter of time.
