JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec 13 (Reuters) - A grand jury indicted a Florida man for first degree murder on Thursday in the shooting death of an unarmed, black high school student last month after an argument over loud rap music.

Software developer Michael Dunn, 46, shot high school junior Jordan Davis, 17, through the window of a sport utility vehicle at a Jacksonville convenience store gas station on Nov. 23, before driving away, authorities say.

Dunn, who is white, faces charges of attempted first degree murder for firing at the car which contained three other passengers, all friends of Davis.

Apparently, claiming stand-your-ground isn't the automatic trump card that many believe it to be.

1. His story sounded remarkably bullshit from the get-go.

2. driving off, making the cops find him

sealed it.

3. Fleeing the scene, not calling the police, and fearing a weapon that apparently doesn't exist...

What possible weaknesses did you detect in his story?!

LOL

4. 'I didn't think I hit anyone so I went home'

Yeah, I'm thinking this doucheweasel goes to jail for a long time.

5. if a shotgun on the backseat, if it existed,

was a serious threat to him, good thing he never wandered around my high school parking lot during hunting season.

6. Good. n/t

7. And it'll stick.

If he's lucky they'll let him plead it down a bit. I don't know why they should. He chose poorly.

8. Law enforcement and judicial system working as expected.

9. Good. Dunn needs to do a couple of decades for that
