3 1/2 Minutes and Ten Bullets
For some reason, this documentary was quite different from other documentaries that I've watched before. In other documentaries, there almost never seems to be justice for minorities. When I heard the final verdict for Michael Dunn, I'm not going to lie, I was glad that justice finally ruled in favor of minorities. I think the verdict that Dunn received was pretty accurate and it not only served justice for Jordan Davis but for the rest of his friends as well. Throughout the documentary, Jordan Davis' mother said something so profound that really resonated with me. That was, "As a minority it's just like another slap to the face -- telling a certain race that they don't matter". What she says is 100% true because minorities have been looked down upon ever since I can remember and are simply judged based off a skin color. It seems to be that any race that isn't White is less respected. One would hope that by now everyone could get along, but that's just not possible because people choose to only see skin colors. All in all, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that this world is so racist and miserable that minorities have to fear for their lives.
