that occurred over an argument about Dunn hating the music coming from the car Davis was in, right?

until he went out and bought that damned gun and they let him tote the thing in public.

Sadly, this isn't going to send a message to other modern gunslingers. They all think they can handle it.

He'll appeal, of course, and maybe get his sentence reduced all the way down to life + ten years without parole.

i would say more but one of my threads was hidden because of my anger towards those who would kill innocent people.

Interesting to speculate what his fate would have been 50 years ago.

.... that one can kill an unarmed black teen / man simply because one was afraid of 'scary black men" .... I am hoping this verdict provides a good counter message!

Jordan Davis is still dead, his family still grieves .... but, at least (in this case) society said .... "this is NOT acceptable"
