Michael Dunn compares himself to a rape victim in phone calls about his deadly shooting of Jordan Davis

“I was the one who was victimized … I’m the victor, but I was the victim too," Dunn said on a phone call from jail

Michael Dunn, who shot and killed Jordan Davis and opened fire on three of Davis’ friends, made phone calls from jail in which he compared himself to a rape victim, made racially charged comments, and insisted that he was ”the one who was victimized” in the deadly shooting.

According to a transcript of the released audio, Dunn told fiancée Rhonda Roue that he felt “attacked” when he fired 10 shots at a car of black teenagers, unarmed young people who Dunn, a middle-aged white man, continued to shoot at even as they fled his violent assault:

I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It’s not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, “Oh, it’s her fault because of the way she dressed.” I’m like, “So it’s my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn’t want to be a victim and now I’m in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I’m incarcerated.”

“I’m the f*** victim here,” he said during one of the phone calls. “I was the one who was victimized … I’m the victor, but I was the victim too.”

2. I wish I could say I could not imagine the environment that could have allowed him to develop and

act on those warped views. Those types are out there and they feed off each other and those who seek to exploit their hate and racism for political gain. Especially the NRA and its companion organizations. My disdain for those (of any political stripe) who enable these organizations runneth over.
