...florida's stand your ground law doesn't allow you to kill someone for playing music too loud. Not even Rap music. We had a local man shot to death by a black teen over a similar incident. He was trying to use a pay phone and asked the black kid to turn down the radio so he could hear the person on the other end of the phone. The kid said the man was "dissing" him, so he shot him and killed him. You are once again attacking a law without knowing anything about it because it is fashionable to do so.

Florida man cites ‘stand your ground’ after killing of black teen amid loud music dispute

A Florida man who allegedly shot and killed an African-American teen on Black Friday during a parking lot argument over loud music is citing the state’s so-called “stand your ground” law as his defense.

Michael David Dunn, 45, claims he was threatened with a shotgun and feared for his life during a Friday night confrontation with 17-year-old Jordan Davis over his car stereo’s volume. Jacksonville police, however, said they did not find any weapons at the scene.

Police say Dunn fired at Davis’s car eight or nine times, according to The Orlando Sentinel, striking Davis twice. Several other teens were also in the car at the time. Dunn reportedly fled the scene and returned home, only to be arrested the following day thanks to tips from witnesses. 

“He didn’t think he had harmed anybody and he just thought he had scared them off and he wanted to report it, but he didn’t want to go in a sense, throw himself to the wolves, in a strange city without representation,” Dunn attorney Robert Lemonitis told reporters in a prepared statement.
