Michael Dunn, who shot and killed Jordan Davis and opened fire on three of Davis' friends, made phone calls from jail in which he compared himself to a rape victim, made racially charged comments, and insisted that he was "the one who was victimized" in the deadly shooting. 
 
 According to a transcript of the released audio, Dunn told fiancée Rhonda Roue that he felt "attacked" when he fired 10 shots at a car of black teenagers, unarmed young people whom Dunn, a middle-aged white man, continued to shoot at even as they fled his violent assault: 
 
 I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It’s not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, “Oh, it’s her fault because of the way she dressed.” I’m like, “So it’s my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn’t want to be a victim and now I’m in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I’m incarcerated.” 
 
 “I’m the f*** victim here,” he said during one of the phone calls. “I was the one who was victimized … I’m the victor, but I was the victim too.” 
 
 Dunn was held in a cell by himself while in jail, which he said in one of these phone calls was "better than being in a room with them animals." As Nicole Flatlow at ThinkProgress notes, Dunn later complained that while in jail he was "in a room with three black guys." 
 
 Dunn has made no secret of his racist views. In previously released letters Dunn wrote while in jail, he said, “This jail is full of blacks and they all act like thugs ... This may sound a bit radical, but if more people would arm themselves and kill these fucking idiots when they’re threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior.” 
 
 Dunn was found guilty this week on three charges of attempted murder for the shooting, but evaded accountability for shooting and killing Davis. 
 
 He will face a retrial for the murder charge. ||||| The man who shot and killed a teenager in Florida after an argument over loud music told his fiancee in a telephone call a month after his arrest that he was both the victim and the victor in the deadly encounter. 
 
 "You know I was thinking about that today, I was like I'm the f*** victim here, I was the one who was victimized," Michael Dunn said from jail in December 2012, a month after the shooting. "I mean I don't know how else to cut it, like they attacked me, I’m the victim. I'm the victor, but I was the victim too." 
 
 
 
 Dunn, a 47-year-old computer programmer, was convicted on Saturday of attempted murder for shooting into a car full of teenagers after the argument but the jury deadlocked on the most serious charge of first-degree murder. A mistrial was declared on the murder charge. 
 
 Dunn killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis in the parking lot of a Jacksonville gas station on the evening of Nov. 23, 2012. Dunn fired 10 shots at the red Dodge Durango that Davis and three other teens were riding in, hitting Davis three times. He died at the scene. 
 
 In the conversation with his fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, he also complained about being in a room by himself, but added: "But I guess it would be better than being in a room with them animals." 
 
 A short while later, he said, "I was in a room with three black guys." 
 
 "Two were kids and one was an old man," he continued. "And they asked what I was in for and I told them. And I gave them some of the details and they were like 'Straight up, that's what they get.'" 
 
 Audio of nine of Dunn's calls was released on Monday by the state attorney in Florida. All took place in December 2012 while he was in jail and were with Rouer or his parents, Phillip and Sandra Dunn. Also released was a letter that he wrote describing the shooting. 
 
 At first the teenagers turned down the music in their car, as he had asked, but then he wrote that he could hear one of the passengers in the back seat shouting that he should kill Dunn. 
 
 "He bends forward and picked something up with both hands," Dunn wrote. "As he's doing this, he says 'yeah-I'm going to f****** kill you!" and now I can tell what he's picked up, as he just laid a gun barrel against the window sill. I can see about four inches of the barrel sticking up and it looks thick enough to be a 12 gauge maybe a 20 gauge shotgun." 
 
 At first he was paralyzed by fear by the sight of the shotgun, he wrote. 
 
 "Something happened inside of me when he advanced towards me and my paralysis left me," he wrote. "Between fear, adrenaline and muscle-memory, I grabbed my pistol from the glove box. As I was doing so, I shouted, "You're not going to kill me you son of a b****!" 
 
 Dunn, who is white, testified that he fired in self-defense. 
 
 
 
 But no weapon was found in the SUV and Davis' friends said they did not hear him threaten Dunn. The state's medical examiner testified that the trajectory of Dunn's bullets into Davis' body showed that Davis was sitting down when he was shot. 
 
 Authorities said that Dunn became enraged about the music and the argument. One person walking out of the store said he heard Dunn say, "You are not going to talk to me like that." 
 
 The state attorney, Angela Corey, has said her office will seek a retrial of Dunn on the first-degree murder charge. 
 
 Dunn's defense attorney, Cory Strolla, has said he plans to appeal. 
 
 In another telephone call, Dunn's father told him of the shooting, "This thing is viral. It's all over the place. It's like that, you know, because he was a black kid." 
 
 A short while later, Phillip Dunn said again, "It's gone viral." 
 
 "In a good way or a bad way?" Michael Dunn asked. 
 
 "A bad way, bad way," his father responded. 
 
 And his father warns him not to be seen smiling. 
 
 "You can cry for a half hour, crack one smile and they'll have you as a heartless son of a b**** that's smiling about it," he said. ||||| Prosecutors released audio Monday of several jailhouse calls placed by Michael Dunn -- the man at the center of another controversial Florida trial -- shedding new light on his mindset in the initial days after he fatally shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis over a confrontation over loud music. 
 
 "I'm the [expletive deleted] victim here. I was the one who was victimized," says Dunn, 47, in one of the calls in which he appeared to chuckle while speaking about his predicament. "I'm the victor but I was the victim too." 
 
 In a separate call with his fiancé Rhonda Rouer, Dunn makes the connection between his situation and scenarios where police officers doubt rape victims. 
 
 "I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It's not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, 'Oh, it's her fault because of the way she dressed.' I'm like, 'So it's my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn't want to be a victim and now I'm in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I'm incarcerated." 
 
 Prosecutors accused Dunn of killing Davis in a convenience store parking lot after they got into an argument over loud music. Jurors found Dunn guilty on four of five charges for shooting at Davis' friends, who were also in the car, as well as firing a gun into a car in the 2012 incident. However, jurors could not agree on the first-degree murder charge for shooting Davis, prompting a mistrial on that count. 
 
 The recordings mirror statements Dunn made in trial in which he stated that he believed his life was in danger, thus leaving him little choice but to shoot. The case has once again rekindled anger in some circles about self-defense laws, in particular "stand your ground," despite it never being invoked during the trial. 
 
 Dunn testified that after he asked Davis to turn down the music blaring from the teen's car, a confrontation ensued and that Davis approached the middle-aged software developer. Dunn said he believed Davis had a weapon, leaving him little choice but to defend himself. However, a gun was never recovered at the scene. 
 
 In one of the nine calls released today, Dunn reads a letter that he planned on sending to the judge presiding over his case in an effort to make bail. Repeatedly both he and his fiancé say that the legal system is stacked against them, however Dunn says the law is on his side. 
 
 "I'm super confident if they take this to trial it will be a short deliberation," said Dunn. 
 
 Dunn who placed the calls while in isolation also made repeated efforts to distance himself from fellow inmates, "Being in a room by myself really sucks, but better than being in a room with them animals." 
 
 He will spend at least 60 years behind bars for the attempted murder charges. Prosecutors have indicated that they plan to retry Dunn on the first-degree murder charge.
– Michael Dunn, the man who is going to jail over killing an apparently unarmed teen in an argument over loud music, appears like he's aiming to be even less popular than George Zimmerman. In jailhouse phone calls Dunn made soon after shooting 17-year-old Jordan Davis but just released by prosecutors yesterday, a sometimes laughing Dunn says, "I’m the [expletive deleted] victim here. I was the one who was victimized. I’m the victor but I was the victim too." Dunn made similar statements during the trial, indicating he feared for his life, ABC News reports. In another call, he makes a bizarre analogy while talking to fiancé Rhonda Rouer: "I was the one that was being preyed upon and I fought back. It’s not quite the same but it made me think of like the old TV shows and movies where like how the police used to think when a chick got raped going, 'Oh, it’s her fault because of the way she dressed.' I'm like, 'So it’s my fault (laughing) because I asked them to turn their music down. I got attacked and I fought back because I didn’t want to be a victim and now I'm in trouble. I refused to be a victim and now I'm incarcerated." And in one call, CBS News reports, Dunn complained about being kept "in a room with them animals," and later says, "I was in a room with three black guys." Salon points out that in previously released letters, Dunn wrote, "This jail is full of blacks and they all act like thugs … This may sound a bit radical, but if more people would arm themselves and kill these f---ing idiots when they’re threatening you, eventually they may take the hint and change their behavior."
