Michael Dunn compares himself to a rape victim

With the way things have been going in the state, Florida may soon need to change its name to WTFlorida. Michael Dunn, who fired ten shots at a group of unarmed African-American teenagers at a gas station - killing one, has stated that he should be waived of any charges due to the state's stand-your-ground law. The reports state that he asked the teenagers to turn their music down, which they did. He then claimed to have been attacked, that he felt threatened, and due to this, started firing shots at the kids in the car. Of course, no gun was found in the teenagers' vehicle and there's been no proof to showcase that Dunn was actually attacked. Prosecutors allege the kids never left the car.

So, given all of that, what did Dunn have to tell his fiancee about matters back in December, as he was facing multiple murder charges?

"It's not quite the same, but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, 'Oh, it's her fault because of the way she dressed.' I'm like, so it's my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn't want to be a victim and now I'm in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I'm in incarcerated."

Since it doesn't appear as if Mr. Dunn was attacked by the teenagers, his analogy comes across as even more absurd than it already was in the first place. If he wants to go that route, though, let's make it a more realistic comparison.

Scenario: Rape

Perpetrator: Rapist

Victim: Person who was raped


Scenario: Murder

Perpetrator: Murderer

Victim: Person who was murdered


In other words, Michael Dunn is far more like the rapist in this scenario than the woman fighting for her life and well-being. This woman's life will be at least partially shattered for the rest of her days due to this event, just like the 17-year-old boy Dunn shot and killed.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
