The trial for Michael Dunn, who shot and killed a teen after a dispute over loud music, began today.

Killed someone's child over that child's music. This man should get the DEATH PENALTY. HIS RUNNING PROVES HIS GUILT. GUILTY OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER. MURDERER.

"Black kids play the music that goes shooty bang, I had to defend myself"

[USA]

He got off 10 shots and the supposed shotgun was never fired once?

[Tizzie]

In this is coming from the most biased news source on the
Planit

[whotubeblows]

That's why you shouldn't try to escalate the situation with threats. You act tough and then you run into a crazy dude with a gun. Both of the individuals seem pretty pathetic.

[AveIvy]

Why didn't he simply call the police? Why did he believe it was his responsibility to tell someone to turn down their music?

[radiodiary]

Sorry but ..."Michael Dunn" is ..."GUILTY AS CHARGED"...you made a .."MISTAKE"...go serve your time.

Stories from left and right in this case or not, I think there is a real problem here ... We change the parameters a bit (black guy kill a white guy) and the general perception as well as the follow-up comments would be very different least speaking of the police reactions ...

[tzortot]

"Display a weapon" one was never found so what's the truth?

[vaparicio]

He prob thought since george zimmerman got away with it he could 2

[preest_nz]

Drive There was no reason to use a gun, he just wanted to! He wanted to use his gun, and this was his chance. He knows zimmerman got off so he thought he will too.

[richardbramley]

He’s guilty as hell. Shoot a kid over loud music?

[bongofury]

I guess HE won't be blasting music at a gas station anytime

[shdwucs]

My thing is is that if he was a cop it woulda been justified

[nadezhadal]

He was in his car all he had to do was leave he didn't have to shot the kid .Good grief my neighbour plays loud music 24/7 do I get upset over it at times, yes but I sure as hell wouldn't kill him because of it .I hope they gave him the max punishment the law allows for taking this kids life .

[TheNova]

If he thought the music was too loud he should have moved his car!

[AufWiedersehen]

"man says he killed teen in self defense"

Pathetic

[meyowind]

Won't get to spend time with grandchildren anymore. Good

[renterp]

Soooo, if they had just turned the music down and been respectable, none of this would have happened?? Seems logical.

[j.wright]

It's always "self defense"
