Stand YOU're ground
That case had me thinking a lot, the reason for that is that I can totally relate to this. This made me think what if me and my friends that look a bit more "hood" "ghetto" than what most actually know. Are at parking lot somewhere bumming music super loud and someone tries to stand there ground like that. Like us as teenager we think we can do a lot without any cost. Me and my friends could easily be taken as kids from somewhere else, when we actually live in Mountain View/Los altos area which is a great area. We don't live in EPA or east side San Jose someone could easily take us as that for the color of our skin or how we dress or the music we bum. The attitude we give off, no one should be killed for just bumming music.

I agree with you. As I was watching this case study I found myself really relating to Jordan Davis and his friends. I can't say that I would have acted much differently in Davis's position if someone came at me so aggressively. I cannot think of a single reason that anyone should have been killed in an altercation over music. It is so easy for people to cast judgments because the color of someones skin or their music choice and they should not be protected by law when they do so. Especially if it results in a teenager being killed.
