(CNN) -- It was the day after Thanksgiving 2012, and Michael Dunn had just left his son's wedding. He'd had two drinks but wasn't buzzed, and he and his girlfriend were in a "great mood" -- headed to a nice bed and breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida, where they planned to enjoy a bottle of wine, he told police.

A stop at a Jacksonville gas station would flip the happy day on its head. His car doors and windows shut, he was annoyed by the "heavy bass" coming from a nearby SUV and asked four teens to turn it down.

This one's apparently known as the "loud music murder trial." It occurred at a gas station. Why this guy couldn't just ignore what he said was loud music coming from the other car is beyond me. He wasn't going to be there long anyway.

1. Hope he enjoyed that pizza, he won't be getting any in prison.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. What makes you think he's going to prison?

Zimmermann walked, why not this fellow?

It seems as though the law in Florida is that if one is white and has a dispute with an black youth, one may fire at will and it isn't murder or even manslaughter.

I can sympathize with this man insofar as I don't like loud music, either. However, that's not a reason to take human life. I'd buy my gas, get out of there and find someplace quiet to eat.

9. Prison?

Murdering black people's legal in Florida. They will probably turn it into a sport next.

6. Would that not still leave you with an attempted murder charge?

...When you choose to fire your weapon into an occupied vehicle because you would like to silent the loud sound coming from another person's vehicle!

How about you leave well alone and buy your damned gas?

8. Dumbest statement of the day.

13. Well ...

an off-handed sarcastic comment I made

but shooting the radio would have been better than what he did!

[valerief]

16. Just like that other murderer should have shot at the popcorn.

You know, the retired police captain who murdered the texting guy in the Florida theater during movie previews.

20. Yes, the radio! Indeed. n/t

[freshwest]

3. Hear music while getting gas? I hear it all the time. It's temporary public noise, not your home!

Nothing to get into someone's face about. This is about this guy's sense of entitlement. He thought it was his gawd-given right to control POC. His jail writings are posted in another thread. He's got a lot of ideas on how blacks should behave.

Excuse the hell outta me!

It was cold blooded murder. Any claim he was drunk does not count, as he wasn't too far gone to drive.

Fer crying out loud, the car windows were up and there was no danger. All he had to do was gas his car up and go.

Anything else is bullshit!

This is even worse than Z.

14. Can you give us a link?

His jail writings are posted in another thread.

I direct you to this quote:

It's spooky how racist everyone is up here and how biased toward blacks the courts are. This jail is full of blacks and they all act like thugs," he notes. He goes on to say "This may sound a bit radical but if more people would arm themselves and kill these **** idiots when they're threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior,"

19. From this, they could charge him with a hate crime

Of course, it is Florida.

[raccoon]

22. Thank you. THis man is a danger to society. Sounds like he was just looking for somebody to kill.nt

[KG]

5. white guy with a gun, looking for a reason to use it. where have we heard this story before.

oh, dam near every day...

[juxtaposed]

7. stand your ground is nothing more than legalised lynching....

[elleng]

10. suggests he WAS 'buzzed.'

[elleng]

11. I saw 12 Years a Slave yesterday,

hate this culture, and hope never to be in the southern U.S. again.

[MindMover]

12. pompous prick ... hope he rots in prison ...

[heaven05]

15. Florida? zimpig land? SYG?

Why even have a trial? He'll walk.

[IBEWVET]

17. He is going to jail

I know Florida has a bad reputation with the stand your ground law. But this is open and shut jail time. He screwed up every way possible, he could have ignored the music, he could have left, then he shot as the youths were driving away. He is going to do time.

[freshwest]

21. He's in jail already and expressing his opinion. Take a look at this:

And I agree with your post.
