Dear Michael Dunn

Hello, Michael Dunn. Welp! I guess that you decided to join the Let’s-Kill-A-Black-Teen club, huh? Of course, the tragic events of you taking the life of Jordan Davis happened well over a year ago and although your trial is just now starting, it doesn’t mean that people are not going to lift up their voices about it…including me. Considering that this murder took place in Florida, I’m not hardly surprised that you’re using the whole “Stand Your Ground” law as a backup plan to weasel your funky ass out of a murder conviction. The whole “I felt threatened” excuse that you’ve used during the first part of your trial is enough to make me wanna snatch your balls off from the stem like an apple from a tree.

Help me understand something: Why is it that white people such as yourself are always feeling so damn “threatened” when it comes to being in the same vicinity as Black people? Do you think that we are all just a bunch of unruly porch monkeys that just wanna wreak havoc amongst the white community?  Do you think that we don’t have anything else better to do than to terrorize white people? And how in the hell were these three Black teenagers a threat to you when they were MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS? It’s funny how you claimed to feel so damn threatened but yet YOU were the only one at the scene with a gun, YOU were the one that approached the SUV, and YOU were the only one who opened fire, riddling the red SUV with several bullets which caused the death of one of the teenagers. You did exactly what the Black community is always accused of doing; you decided to solve your problem with violence.

First of all, I don’t give a damn that a SUV full of Black teens were bumpin’ their music loud as hell at a gas station. No matter how annoying it was, it didn’t give you the right to approach their car and demand that they turn down their music. It’s not YOUR car. Who the hell do you think you are? You could’ve simply came to the gas station to get what you wanted and left without anyone getting killed and without you going to trial. As a matter of fact, if the music was just too unbearable, you could’ve simply gotten in your car and drove to another gas station. But no. YOU decided that you wanted to diffuse the situation by any means necessary. What I find even more sad is that a lot of white people (that apparently think like you), wanna label the teenagers in this SUV as thugs because of their loud music but yet it was YOU that acted like a thug.

Keep it real, Mr. Dunn; you know damn well that you provoked the situation straight from the beginning. You were looking for a reason to take the life of an African American male so that you could simply get away with murder like George Zimmerman did. That’s why you came up with this god-awful excuse for your actions, saying that the teens called you a “cracker.” In all honesty, I believe that they did call you a cracker after you told them to turn down their music. But so what if they did call you cracker. Do you know how many times Black people, including myself, have been called a nigger from the likes of you? But if we turn around and choose to retaliate, then we would be accused of being violent and “sensitive.” In other words, you could’ve walked away if you wanted to…but you chose not to. So miss me with the whole “not guilty” plea that you’re claiming.

Anyway, I’ll just let this song by the legendary Millie Jackson fill you in on what I really want to say to you AND your asshole legal team that are ignorant enough to represent you:
