How did Jordan Davis impact society?

A young kid enjoying a time with his friends at place, playing music, talking, having a good time. But he didn't accept someone to come out of nowhere and yell for no reason. Michael Dunn the person that started the altercation with young kid, was fed up with the music they were playing and asked if they can turn it down, but they didn't listen. The young kid, Jordan Davis, told his friend to turn the music up. The next thing you know, Michael Dunn brought a gun to the situation. Lets pause, what if you were Jordan Davis. I know some of us including me play our music super loud for anyone to hear. What if this situation happened to you. What would you do? In my opinion, I shouldn't care about what others think about my music if its too loud or has cursing inside. It is my freedom of speech. Jordan Davis and his friends had the ability to play there music as much as they want, and I don't think that Michael Dunn had the power to or the privilege to tell them to stop. And Michael Dunn's excuse for pulling out the gun is that Davis was threatening toward him.  Or even pull a gun out to make them stop, which isn't a good way to end things. This privilege that some people have isn't fair and shouldn't be involved in society. Everyone shouldn't  assume things by how things look, or appear. "Everyone is created equal" is used a lot in American society and based on this case and other cases in the past that dealt with racial situations, its not about people becoming equal, its about people accepting that people are different and unique in there own ways. We should accept each other for who we are not how we look or what "race background" we come from.
