Some people have a skill for finding ways to justify their insanity.

Here are six things that people like Michael Dunn do to get themselves into trouble and to justify their racist behavior.

        1. Demean other people’s culture
          Michael Dunn’s first response to hearing hip-hop music at the gas station was to say “I hate that rap crap.”

        2. Use their privilege to hassle those with different cultures or lifestyles
          Michael Dunn could have parked away from the music. Instead he parked next to the music and used his able bodied, white privilege to confront the teens, asking them to turn down the volume.

        3. Blame the victim
          Michael Dunn, after shooting three bullets into Jordan Davis and 6 more bullets into the Durango then tells his fiance that he was the victim.

        4. Don’t learn about the failings and oppressiveness of White culture. Always feel superior.
          If Michael Dunn had ever taken an African American history class, he might know that White people have been pushing Black people around since the first enslaved Africans were human trafficked to the Americas in 1526.

        5. See phantom weapons. Cell phones and wallets as guns.
          If Michael Dunn would have studied implicit bias, or systemic racism – he may have known that he should second guess his own fears and biases and not jump to conclusions.

        6. Acting as if in a war zone
          If Michael Dunn was level headed, he would only show his gun to scare away what he perceived as a threat. Apparently he thought he was in a war zone. He shot first and asked questions later.

Michael Dunn Guilty of 3 Counts of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder

 

“Twelve jurors have found Michael Dunn guilty of 2nd degree attempted murder upon the lives of Tevin Thompson, Leland Brunson, and Tommie Stornes.  Each count carries a minimum sentence of 20 years to a maximum of 30 years.  Sentencing can run concurrently or consecutively.  Some familiar with Judge Healey are of the opinion that he is unlikely to enter concurrent sentences.  That means that Dunn is looking at a minimum of 60 years in prison on the 2nd degree attempted murder convictions.

 

The jury also found Dunn guilty of shooting a firearm into the vehicle, the sentence of which is a minimum of 15 years.”
