What do you not understand about innocent until proven guilty?

Just because someone is on trial for defending themselves doesn't automatically mean you should demonize them, as many of you are doing here.

i understand innocent until proven guilty. do you understand that you can easily impeach a witness if there is self-interest involved - which is obviously the case here. We aren't demonizing anyone - you are using weak circumstantial evidence to exonerate the accused. I am only saying that the evidence is heavily against Dunn and this is overall a sad sad case for everyone involved.

honestly - you guys are such fucking tools. your method of arguing is to use generalizations. but you know what - you're right that the prosecution will have to work on the jury to get them comfortable with this because juries are fucking idiots


I guess looking at this from a purely logical perspective based on the facts and evidence, rather than from emotion, makes me a tool.


I'm ok with that.

The durango felon crew leaving the scene to ditch something when their entire case revolves around this shotgun is hardly circumstantial.

They definitely ditched something, no doubt about it. If it were drugs then one of them would've slunked off and hid it. The only logical reason for driving the entire vehicle around is if it's something you can't stick in your pocket.......... Like a shotgun.

Any other excuses for them leaving, circling a parking lot, then returning to the scene?

I don't know who did what in this case, but I bet these kids never crank their rap music at a gas station again.

it's not even worth arguing this against you anymore. you've made up your mind so good for you. you are the one using emotions instead of logic. if you think you wouldn't want to ditch drugs OUTSIDE the car, then you're delusional. I would never just keep it in my pocket when I could be subject to a search.

I am saying that if one of them had drugs and just had some guy completely randomly shoot at them then only one would've ran off and hid the drugs somewhere.

There is no logical reason for the entire vehicle including someone bleeding out to leave and circle a parking lot for some drugs.

It doesn't matter, if this goes to trial I assure you that the defense is going to be all over them leaving the scene. The verbal threats likely won't even be a huge factor since there are no outside witnesses.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the durango felon crew rats everyone out to get a shorter sentence.

Wow, "durango felon crew"? I just saw this thread but am amazed at the instant racist undertones in your comments.

He's been increasing the intensity of the racist undertones as the effectiveness wears off, trying to get under the skin of non-racists.

when someone randomly shoots at you, i think you have some leniency in terms of rational action in response (for whatever reason, you are OK with a scenario where the youngsters flash a shotgun and Dunn fires with no further provocation - this strikes me as irrational).

the evidence does not support Dunn's version of the events - if a shotgun is found, then this will change. You are also quick to ignore Dunn's lack of contacting the police after shooting - how is this any less ridiculous to you than the youngsters leaving the scene, circling a nearby parking lot and returning? Any rational person, after firing in "self-defense" would have called the police. I sure as shit would - wouldn't you?

you will never admit that your comments are laced with racism, but they are. you have already formed a story in your mind that works, against the evidence gathered so far. again, i don't doubt you that a jury could side with Dunn - but i already said that juries are idiots.

Honest question... do you really believe a middle aged businessman waiting for his girlfriend to return to the car just up and decided it was worth throwing his life away and potentially murdering several strangers over them not turning down their music?

Is that really, actually believable to you? It passes the sniff test?

Or is there some alternate way you're viewing this which is a bit more nuanced? I'd honestly appreciate any sort of conjecture you can provide as to how you are envisioning this going down, and the motivation/thoughts going through Dunn's head as he got his gun and fired it.

Woah. Of course there are other excuses for them leaving, circling a parking lot and returning to the scene. It will hopefully come out during discovery and on trial. But it's not a foregone conclusion, as you assume it to be.

According to all facts and evidence known to date. Dunn is guilty. There is so far, ZERO EVIDENCE that supports his claims. That's why he's still locked up and not free on bond.

Do you really believe a middle aged businessman would shoot at someone, drive off and then never report anything? I mean, why not though, right? If you shoot at a thug, who cares?

They're only "laced with racism" if SpatiallyAware would be saying the exact same stuff about a Durango full of black kids still dressed in cosplay as wizards and warriors having just come from a Comic-Con type event...

I don't believe he would be saying that, and I don't think you believe it either.

Which makes his (admittedly cynical) posture toward this case more about observing real demographic trends and behavioral patterns which tend to cluster together. Such as, if there's a felon in your car it's likely there is shady criminality going on... etc.

I also think that if Dunn was some crazy looking white meth-head or skinhead with a swastika tattoo on his arm, SpatiallyAware would be considerably more skeptical of him.

I don't think it's fair to blame SA for the fact that the world often lines up with these stereotypes (though not always) or to call that "racism"

It's cynicism and world-weariness which, unfortunately, tend to line up with reality rather often.

Why is this relevant? Being a "businessman" makes him less prone to anger issues? Why don't we frame him as a middle aged man with a broken family who was returning from the wedding of his son, with whom he had no relationship for years?

I don't know the guy from Adam, so who he is and what he does has no bearing on whether I think he's capable of shooting someone for a bad reason.

waiting for his girlfriend to return to the car just up and decided it was worth throwing his life away and potentially murdering several strangers over them not turning down their music?

No. I don't think he shot them just because they refused to turn down the music. I don't doubt that there was yelling between the two vehicles before the shooting. If you were to ask if it's plausible for a guy to become so angry over an argument that he would shoot a stranger, I'd say yes that's entirely plausible. I don't know if that's what happened, but it's what the evidence indicates right now. Additional evidence could change that.

Have you seen his picture? He doesn't look like a nice guy to me.
