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.
