There is another possibility....
This could have been the music in question....
...or even this.

I'm shocked the second link's singer doesn't have a show on Disney or TeenNick.

While both of them almost had my ears bleeding within minutes (I should have played them with a big quiet space in between), I can't imagine getting violent over it. If anything, I'd just have to crank up my tunes (and windows) to drown it out.

Okay, the accused fired 8 rounds claiming there was a shotgun that somehow acted on the quantum level and vanished into then air

Yeah, let's get a rope. We don't need to know no damn facts.

Lemonidis [Dunn's attorney] has said the teens drove off after Dunn fired at them... She said the teens apparently got rid of the weapon before returning to the Gate station on Southside Boulevard.

Not really anything new.
We die everyday. Our color alone is enough for someone to feel that their life is "threatened". It's the same reason that white women clutch their purses closer to them when I walk by, or why a group of teenagers would rather walk across the street, eyeing us warily than pass a friend and I on the sidewalk. It's the reason police brutality against POC is so commonplace and why we get killed for no reason or due to "accidents" during a "mistaken raid" everyday. Hell, some are killed by the same police officers we called for help.
Honestly, most of us are so accustomed to this type of thing that we don't even make a big deal about.

And race is mentioned because race matters. Being "color blind" is nothing but racist ideology dressed in apathetic clothing. But I suppose it's easier to turn a blind eye when you aren't a part of the group being systematically discriminated against.

No, however I do support photo ID requirements for voting. I see no reason why I SHOULDN'T have to prove I am who I say I am when going to the polls.

This person died because he had no consideration for the suffering he caused in one of his fellow human beings. This lack of consideration is what characterizes an animal. It is good that he is dead. Now an untold number of people have been spared the future suffering from his loud noise that he otherwise would have caused them.

Voter fraud is a manufactured problem....we should welcome more people to vote, who can ...but the GOP knows the more people who vote the more they lose....it is called history.....read it and learn...for the first time

Why would I need proof of voter fraud to think it is a good idea to have to prove you are who you say you are? With or without fraud I think it is a good idea.
