This story involved Michael Dunn who is being accused of murdering Jordan Davis after a dispute over loud music. Dunn claims he was defending himself through the Stand Your Ground laws in Florida, but much evidence shows otherwise.
From what the article is saying, I don't think Dunn had any right to shoot at the group of teens that were bothering him. They had no weapons on them and Dunn should not have assumed that these kids would have weapons on them. To me, he seems a little racist especially after the description of the teens that he gave. Although I do believe that people have the right to kill somebody if the menace is truly threatening your life, in the case of Dunn, he did not have that right and should be sent to prison.
