Michael Dunn Found Guilty In Loud Music Trial

The jurors determining the fate of a white Florida man accused of killing an unarmed black teenager over an argument springing from that teen’s alleged refusal to turn down loud music returned a verdict on today. They found the accused, Michael Dunn, guilty of 4 charges (three being attempted second-degree murder) and hung on the 5th charge, first-degree murder.

Dunn insisted that he acted in self-defense when he fired a gun at four teens in an SUV in Jacksonville, Florida in 2012. Dunn was charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count of first-degree murder of one of those teens, 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

The racial tensions that have arisen as the result of this case have forced Duval County law enforcement to put in place a “comprehensive public safety plan” designed to cope with the potential for violence the verdict in this case could inspire.

Some have linked this case to the case against George Zimmerman for the murder of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, another unarmed black teenager killed by an armed white Hispanic man. However, there were no incidents of mass violence as a result of Zimmerman having been acquitted in that case in the summer of 2013.

I Should Kill That Motherf*cker: CNN Airs Uncensored Trial Testimony, Cooper Apologizes

Michael Dunn is currently on trial for fatally shooting a black teenager who was playing loud music, and during his testimony (in which he invoked a stand-your-ground defense), he dropped a few profanities to recount exactly what he heard in the moment. And CNN ended up airing those words without filtering them through a censor first. Whoops…

During his testimony, Dunn said, “I should kill that motherf*cker” and “this sh*t’s going down now,” two phrases he said he heard the night in question. Both soundbites were included in the CNN report on the trial, but were not bleeped out.

Immediately after the full CNN segment wrapped, Anderson Cooper took to Twitter to apologize.

In a totally unrelated story, last night CNN aired the video of a dead baby giraffe being eaten by lions.

Pakistan: Jihadis threaten to kill lawyer, witness in trial of murderers of Christian official who opposed blasphemy law

They support those who murdered Shahbaz Bhatti and believe that they should go free. He was, after all, an Infidel who was interfering with the implementation of Sharia blasphemy laws in Pakistan. As far as they are concerned, he deserved what he got.
“Extremist threats hamper Shahbaz Bhatti’s murder trial,” from AFP, February 8 (thanks to Lookmann):
ISLAMABAD: Extremist threats have hampered the murder trial of Pakistan’s former minority affairs minister Shahbaz Bhatti, who was gunned down in Islamabad in March 2011, the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) said Saturday.
Shahbaz Bhatti, a Catholic, had been a vocal opponent of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy law.
Blasphemy is an extremely sensitive issue in a country where 97 per cent of the population is Muslim and can carry the death penalty.
