Dunn will serve life in prison without possibility of parole for the death of Jordan Davis and 90 years for shooting at the three other teenagers.

This is the guy who killed a teenager and shot at others because they cussed at them when he told them to turn their music down at a gas station.

And nothing of value will be lost.

Seems like justice was served. Still small solace for the family of the victim.

Judge Russell Healey:

“To lose a child is a parent’s worst nightmare,” he said. “Mr. Dunn, your life is effectively over. … This case seems to exemplify that our society seems to have lost its way, its moral compass. Our thoughts and discussions ought to be about how we should treat one another. It’s not whether we can do something or act in a certain way or whether we have a right to do something, but whether it’s right and necessary and prudent.”
