Teenager shot dead after playing loud music

[HumblePie]

To further point out, FELONY convictions are always admissible character evidence in any court of law in this country. In many places character evidence for trustworthyness can only be used in certain circumstance, but once you have a felony conviction record, all that goes out the window for you. Forever. It's one of those like like once you are convicted of a felony you can never again legally own a gun. There are certain things that stay with you as a punishment the rest of your life in America once you are convicted of a felony.

So you are living vicariously through this dude because you're bitter about your own cowardice? Well done.

I was wondering if there was room in that VW for another assclown and then he fell out...

I'm just really proud of the guy and we need more like him. But feel free to read into it any way you want moron.

It DOES have relevancy. It gives a mind set and provides character insight. That's why you do not commit a felony ever. Even if you "serve your time" of which Tommie had not done yet, your character is shot. Not to mention you can no longer ever do certain things like legally own a gun.

Since we know 1 person in the vehicle was a convicted felon still serving his time, it lends more credibility to claims made by Dunn. That is how the law works.

I am not saying that makes what Dunn claimed the truth or even mean that Tommie and compatriots are lying.

It does mean there is a possible MOTIVE to any threatening actions Tommie may have made against Dunn and one that needs to be investigated.

convicted felon? uhhh no, a felon would be on parole, he was on probation. If he had committed a felony no way in hell he would have only gotten probation. They put people on probation for shit like stealing. And guess what he did.... steal! And if it was as cut and dry as you're making it out to be, the police would still be considering him a suspect. They're not, Dunn's in jail though, and there's a strong chance he'll wind up in prison. I'll make you a Paypal wager that when the smoke settles here Dunn will be the only person in trouble, and in prison.

Care to take me up on it?

So what I am getting from this is we should shoot assholes just because they are assholes?

it's a start.

There are consequences to actions. Assholes have civil liberties to be assholes. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with this. The guy who shot the asshole didn't believe in his civil liberties. So now the punk is dead and good riddance. One thing is true after all this...that asshole won't be playing his loud music anymore. The world is better off. One down and way too many to go.

Murdering people for playing music too loud is a good thing? And when this troll grows a pair and does it himself, he can enjoy jail like Michael Dunn.

I don't see it as a bad thing. One less asshole in the world. I look forward to your turn in the barrel.



You cannot say that here. You cannot wish for a member's death here.

Not under any circumstances.

Do it again and it's a vacation

well, gee, i don't think it's been established yet that a murder has been commited. i just hope you're not on the jury because you're as biased as they come.


who's trolling now?

Sorry, QueBert, but a felony conviction doesn't always result in prison time. Depending upon the felony committed and other circumstances (first offender, etc.), a person can commit a felony and receive probation in lieu of jail time.

Have seen it happen myself. Wife's nephew got caught boosting prescriptions for oxy a few years ago. While he could have received prison time, instead he received a $1K fine and 3 yrs. probation. First offender, decent lawyer.

So it happens and probably more than you realize.

Yet another example of why allowing every Joe to own and carry a firearm is idiocy.

Ok, but this teen got caught stealing car stereos, which at worst would be a misdemeanor. No matter how you look at it he's not a FELON like idiot here's trying to prove. And he's stupid enough to think in the trial the judge will allow the jury to hear about the car stereos. It's in no way relevant to this case.

I don't see it as a bad thing. One less asshole in the world. I look forward to your turn in the barrel.

Sounds great, but even if he ends up going to prison, which I believe he will. Dunn will eventually get out, so the "one less asshole in the world" sadly doesn't work here. Although Dunn doesn't strike me as the type who would do very well in prison, so maybe you are technically right here.

It hasn't been established yet that the guys threatened Dunn, or pointed a shotgun at him, yet you are agreeing with someone celebrating Jordan Davis's death.

I'm sure if you had a daughter or son shot under the same circumstances, you'd be singing a different tune.

and your point is? he was a punk, and not so far down the road he probably would have been a true menace to society, if he already wasn't.
i place most of the blame on his parents and the government for the pussification of america. it's pretty much against the law for parents to even attempt discipline.

yes, i am sorry a death occurred. it didn't have to be that way.

and i am not celebrating anything.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Farts smell like rainbows and when people that aren't like me die it's their fault for not being like me; also, it'll be a great day when everyone that doesn't think like me gets shot in the head (an all too common problem for those that happen to disagree with me on this forum)

 

[herrjimbo]

i'd like to think my children were brought up better so as not to be in those same circumstances.

You have no evidence of everything you said in this post.

i don't need evidence. i live in the real world where i see this happening every day. you, sir, need to open your eyes and get out of the house once in a while.

"brought up better"?

How do you know how the guy was "brought up"?

What circumstances are you babbling about? All we know of right now is that he was in a car that was supposedly playing loud music.

I realize that him being black in a car with other black guys makes him a criminal thug in many people's eyes, but not everyone jumps to conclusions.

i'm thinking you're probably between 18 and 24, still living with mom and dad because it's convenient. i didn't say this was racial, you just did. punks have no color.
