Gun Enthusiast Kills 17-Year-Old for Playing Loud Music; Lawyer Says He Acted "Very Responsibly"

Another “Stand Your Ground” death?

Jordan Davis (L) was shot and killed by Michael Dunn (R) this Friday in Jacksonville, Fla. ​

Michael David Dunn, 45, was in Jacksonville, Fla., this Friday for his son’s wedding, when afterward he decided to stop at a convenience store with his girlfriend. Four unarmed teenagers were in an SUV near where Dunn parked. After Dunn’s girlfriend went into the store to buy a bottle of wine, Dunn made a comment to the teenagers about their music being too loud. An argument ensued, and then Dunn, a gun collector, pulled out his gun and fired at the SUV between eight to nine times. Two shots hit and killed 17-year-old

Jordan Davis. Jacksonville homicide Lt. Rob Schoonover said:

Our victim was shot a couple of times. …They were listening to the music. It was loud; they [other teens] admitted that. But I mean that is not a reason for someone to open fire on them.

When his girlfriend returned to the car, Dunn drove off, admitting to her that he “fired at these kids.” After hearing a news report that someone died in the shooting at their Jacksonville hotel, the couple returned to their home to Brevard County, Fla. Witnesses of the shooting took down Dunn’s license plate number, which, on Saturday, helped police find Dunn’s house, where he was then arrested.

According to Schoonover, after his arrest, Dunn told Jacksonville detectives, “he felt threatened and that is the reason he took action.”

Dunn is being held without bail, and will be transported to a jail in Jacksonville to face charges of murder and attempted murder this week. On Monday, he pleaded not guilty in Brevard County court.

His attorney, Robin Lemonidis, said:

It will be very clear that Mr. Dunn acted very responsibly and as any responsible firearms owner would have acted under these circumstances.

Jacksonville Attorney Gene Nichols, however, said that although Dunn will most likely make a “Stand Your Ground” defense based on his statements in court, it’s a tough case to make.

He said:

Mr. Dunn is going to have to answer the question, 'Why did you not call the sheriff's office? If you are reasonably protecting yourself, why did you leave the scene, get in the car, and the next day, flee the jurisdiction of Duval County?' … There's no indication that Jordan or anyone else in that car had a gun, there's no indication that they were any threat to Mr. Dunn.

Davis’s death comes about a week after a Florida task force found that the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law is mostly fine as is and recommended only small changes. Florida governor Rick Scott created the task force after the death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in April. The task force made their conclusions despite research that shows “Stand Your Ground” laws actually increase homicides.

In response to the task force’s findings, Benjamin Crump, the attorney who represents Martin's parents, had told the Palm Beach Post two weeks ago:

We all believe it’s asinine that you can pursue someone, that you can be the aggressor and then shoot an unarmed kid and claim you were standing your ground. … Until we fix this law, there are going to be a lot of asinine claims of 'Stand Your Ground' when there’s another Trayvon Martin.

Outrage in Ohio: As Video Is Released Showing Police Killing John Crawford

Outrage in Ohio: As Video Is Released Showing Police Killing John Crawford, Grand Jury Decides Not to Indict Officers


On the same day that an Ohio grand jury decided not to indict police officers for killing 22-year-old John Crawford III at a Wal-Mart near Dayton, authorities released surveillance footage from the Wal-Mart that seems to directly contradict the contention that Crawford posed a threat to anyone.

Though it doesn’t have sound, the video presents a shocking display of how quickly the officers appeared to take the young Black man’s life without giving him any opportunity to explain why he was holding a toy gun in the middle of a store that sells toy guns.

The grand jury’s decision Wednesday will be disturbing to many African-Americans who have been alleging all summer that too many American police forces don’t value the lives of African-Americans as highly as other groups. Some may also see it as a sign that the St. Louis grand jury considering whether to file charges against Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for killing unarmed teen Michael Brown will ultimately decide to let the officers go.

It is difficult to reconcile the actions of the police inside the Beavercreek Wal-Mart with the state of Ohio’s status as a traditional open-carry state, meaning citizens are allowed to openly carry long guns and handguns that they legally possess without any special license. So the fact that Crawford was standing in the Wal-Mart with what police believed to be a real gun in his hands should not have prompted the cops to open fire. What the entire incident points to is the incredible dangers inherent in an open-carry law — dangers that are especially potent for African-American males — and how such a law could spur police to exhibit overly aggressive behavior.

The Aug. 5 incident was precipitated by a phone call from a white man, Ronald Ritchie, who originally told police that Crawford had a gun and was “pointing it at people” and “like loading [the gun] right now.”

On the call, 24-year-old Ritchie, who was originally described as an “ex-Marine,” said a Black man was walking around the store with the weapon. He also told the 911 dispatcher that he saw Crawford loading bullets into the supposed weapon.

It’s easy to see how police, hearing such alarming descriptions from a witness, would arrive on the scene ready to open fire at a dangerous gunman.

But in an interview with The Guardian, Ritchie retracted his story, saying, “at no point did he shoulder the rifle and point it at somebody.”

In the Guardian interview, Ritchie defended his 911 call: “Even still, it’s a gun in Wal-Mart, in a public place, inducing panic.”

Apparently Ritchie isn’t aware of Ohio’s open-carry law.

“Somebody’s going to have to explain to me how anybody goes into Wal-Mart and ends up dead,” John Crawford Jr., the dead man’s father, told NBC News. “It appears that we have an epidemic in the United States of America where young Black men are being slain by white police officers, and nothing is being done about it. And we need to stop that now.”

LeeCee Johnson, the 22-year-old’s girlfriend and the mother of his two children, said she heard the entire incident because she was on the phone with him as it happened.

“We was just talking,” she told the Dayton Daily News. “He said he was at the video games playing videos and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were. And the next thing I know, he said ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting and they said, ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him. … And I could hear him just crying and screaming. I feel like they shot him down like he was not even human.”

Crawford is seen in the video calmly standing at the end of the aisle, holding the toy gun in his right hand with it primarily pointed toward the floor while he apparently talked on the phone. There are no other people in the aisle, so there’s no way anyone could see his actions as any kind of threat.

After about 50 seconds on the video, Crawford suddenly moved forward and dropped the gun. As officers advanced on him, Crawford seemed to move toward them, then he turned away and fell to his knees, apparently because they were shooting him. Then he fell on his back with his legs splayed out.

As with the video of Eric Garner in Staten Island and Kajieme Powell in St. Louis, it is extremely disturbing to view the final moment of this man’s life, snuffed out so quickly by police when he appeared to be doing nothing at all to warrant it.

Though the grand jury said “No” to charging the officers, it would be tragic if videos like this one don’t push police executives across the nation to reassess how officers are trained.

A South Carolina state trooper was fired last week and arrested on Wednesday after a dashcam video showed him shooting an unarmed man during a routine traffic stop.

Former officer Sean Groubert, 31, is seen in the newly released video pulling over Levar Edward Jones. The clip, which was recorded on Groubert's dashcam on Sept. 4, shows Jones getting out of his vehicle at a gas station in Columbia.

Groubert asks Jones for his driver's license. As Jones reaches into his vehicle to retrieve it, Groubert shouts, "Get out of the car!"

When Jones complies and starts to back away from the vehicle, Groubert opens fire. Three shots can be heard; Jones was hit at least once, in the hip.

"I was just getting my license," Jones says. He also apologizes repeatedly, and asks, "Sir, why was I shot? All I did was reach for my license. I'm coming from work."

"Well, you dove head-first back into your car," Groubert says. "Then you jumped back out, I'm telling you to get out of your car."

Groubert was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, a felony which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, according to a news release from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

The complaint states that Groubert "did without justification unlawfully shoot Levar Jones which produced great bodily injury or was likely to cause great bodily injury. Audio and visual recordings, as well as written statements, obtained are further evidence to indicate the shooting incident was without justification."

South Carolina Department of Public Safety Director Leroy Smith called the case disturbing.

"After my review of the facts surrounding this matter, I have determined that Mr. Groubert’s actions rose to such an extent that his employment with us must be terminated," Smith said in a statement last week. "While Mr. Groubert was within the law to stop Mr. Jones for a safety belt violation, the force administered in this case was unwarranted, inconsistent with how our troopers are trained, and clearly in violation of Department policies."

Groubert pleaded not guilty and is free after posting a $75,000 bond, according to WIS-TV. He's expected to appear in court on Oct. 24.

Jones was hospitalized for the hip injury, but has since been released. He told WIS that he hopes the incident will lead to change throughout the country.

John Crawford Case:
It’s Open Carry for Whites
and Open Season on Blacks

So what if police thought the toy gun he was holding was a rifle when they shot and
killed him? Ohio is an open-carry state. Except, it seems, for African Americans.

Marty and Chris Welch of Cadillac, Mich., carry decorated Olympic Arms .223 pistols at a rally for supporters
of Michigan’s open-carry law April 27, 2014, in Romulus, Mich. The march was held to attempt to demonstrate
to the general public what the typical open carrier is like. Bill Pugliano/Getty Images
​

While the attention of America—and the world, for that matter—is on the demand for answers about the death of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., I wanted to take a moment to discuss another officer-involved shooting that happened just four days before Michael Brown was gunned down.

John Crawford III was shot in a Wal-Mart after police received a 911 call alerting them that a man with a rifle was walking around the store. Officers arrived on the scene and, after a brief encounter, shot the 22-year-old man, who later died of a gunshot wound to the torso. As we now know, Crawford was holding a Crosman MK-177 air pump rifle—a nonlethal replica air rifle, intended for a child—and sold at the very store where he was shot while carrying it. Much of the focus of the discussions around this case has been on this fact: Why would police shoot a man holding a child’s replica gun in the store that sold it? A fair question, to be sure, but I wish to raise another.

Ohio is an “open carry” state. So even if Crawford were carrying a real, fully loaded rifle, why would that raise any alarms? How could that possibly be a reason to kill him?

I’ll let that marinate for a second while I give you a little background on what open carry actually means. It varies from state to state, but Ohio’s open-carry laws mean an individual can possess a firearm without a permit in most public spaces (including stores) so long as it is fully visible. In fact, in Ohio, you only need a permit if you wish to conceal a handgun. That means if you want to walk around with an AK-47, AR-15 or even a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun, no problem—so long as you don’t conceal it and/or go around threatening people with it.

Which brings me back to John Crawford. He was holding a toy gun in the store that sold it, and even if he were holding an honest-to-goodness rifle loaded with real bullets, he was well within his Ohioan rights to do so. Who was he threatening? We’ve seen open-carry activists all over the country walk around in public and visit major chain stores without so much as a police scolding, let alone a confrontation with police or an actual shooting.

Here are a couple of shots of open-carry activists:

pistol during a rally held to support Michigan’s open-carry law April 27, 2014, in Romulus, Mich.

​

So what was different about John Crawford? Why was he seen as a threat? Why is he dead and all these other folks are alive and well with awesome stories to share at the next parent-teacher rifle-cleaning night?


The difference is simple, and it’s the difference in almost every case of police violence perpetrated on innocent citizens. He was black. Many African Americans and Latinos alike see these open-carry folks like the ones above and think, “Hey, if white people are walking around with guns like that, maybe I need to ... ” I know I have. But as soon as we think it, we scoff, laugh or smirk to ourselves because we know what the outcome would be if we expected the same treatment.


This isn’t just a what-if scenario. This is not conjecture. Consider this 2012 incident at an Ohio gas station: A white man entered a store openly carrying his weapon. Police confronted him. No weapons were drawn, and there were no commands to give up the gun, just a stern conversation. He was asked to provide identification, but he refused and was then arrested ... and then released. Alive. The charges were eventually dropped, and he is now suing the police department for $3.6 million. I wish John Crawford could file a suit.


Another example: A woman was at a bus stop waiting for her child to come home from school but was approached by an officer who saw her weapon (watch the harrowing confrontation here). No yelling, no commands to get down. In fact, the officer gives her advice and even goes so far as to say he doesn’t want to dissuade her from carrying because he’s an advocate for it. She’s as healthy as she was when she got to the bus stop, free to pick up her child and return home. I wish John Crawford could have a normal day with his kids.

I chose these two examples because they took place in Riverside and Dayton, Ohio, respectively. John Crawford was killed in Beavercreek, which is a suburb of Dayton and just a few miles from Riverside.


There’s more and more evidence all the time that laws—especially the ones related to when it’s OK to have a gun and when a person deserves to be shot—don’t apply fairly when it comes to the lives of black and brown people. (For more on the history of black people in America, read this and this.)


The bottom line is that John Crawford is dead for doing nothing more than shopping in a store and minding his business. ... He just happened to do it while being black. And being black in America means you are always a threat.

Whiteness gives you open carry, blackness gets you open season.

Re: Outrage in Ohio: As Video Is Released Showing Police Killing John Crawford

A Year Ago Samuel L. Jackson Warned Black Men that
It’s “Open Season”
​

August 11, 2013

Twitter has become a powerful tool for entertainers, celebrities and just about anyone who has an account to share their political and personal views about current events and topics.

Recently, a grand jury decided not to bring charges against New York City police officers who were accused of shooting an unarmed, teenage, boy. Eighteen-year-old Ramarley Graham was shot and killed by police officers in the bathroom of an apartment that he shared with his grandmother. The police suspected that the young man was involved in illegal drug activity so they decided to investigate. While on the premises, an officer, 31-year-old Richard Haste, claimed that Graham had a gun and he killed the young man. Shortly thereafter, it was determined that the young man was unarmed.

With clear evidence that he was unarmed, many believed that charges would be filed. However, the grand jury decided not to charge Haste.

The ruling angered many and once again it, like the Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant cases before it, called into question how American society, and those in positions of authority, view and disvalue the lives of Black children, especially boys.

Actor and activist, Samuel L. Jackson wasted no time in using his Twitter account to express his opinion about what this newest ruling means for Black boys.

“Young brothers Beware!!” he tweeted. “It’s Open Season!”​

Gun Enthusiast Kills 17-Year-Old for Playing Loud Music; Lawyer Says He Acted "Very Responsibly"

CNN - Jacksonville, Florida (CNN) -- Jurors found Michael Dunn guilty of first-degree murder Wednesday in the 2012 shooting death 17-year-old Jordan Davis.

Dunn's parents were in the courtroom for the verdict. Davis' parents, Ron Davis and Lucia MacBath, both let out a quiet gasp upon hearing the jury forewoman's words and then hung their heads and cried. Dunn did not appear to have an immediate reaction, but later, he turned around and somberly shook his head toward his father.

Duval County Judge Russell Healey set a tentative sentencing hearing for October 17 but said he would wait until Tuesday to ensure the date worked for Dunn's defense attorneys.

Dunn, 47, was charged with murder after shooting into an SUV full of teenagers at a Jacksonville, Florida, gas station following a squabble over the music emanating from the teens' vehicle.

Dunn has said he shot at the vehicle because he thought Davis had a weapon and feared for his life, but the prosecution has alleged Dunn was the aggressor and pointed out he kept firing even after the teens fled.

Three of the 10 shots that Dunn fired struck Davis, one of them cutting through his liver, a lung and his aorta.

Investigators say Davis never had a weapon, nor was one found in the teens' SUV or the surrounding area.
