Title is misleading, there was a conflict over a parking space which resulted in the guy charging at her despite multiple warnings so she shot
It wasn't like she gave him 1 warning and shot him either, he pursued and stalked her, while she retreated and repeated her warnings multiple times.
There's no doubt in my mind that if she had no gun, he would have assaulted her, or worse.
Anyone who doubts that, hasn't watched the video.
I get it, but what if he also had a gun? And what if in the shooting some bystanders got killed? With Guns for everyone you always get worse results on average
If he had a gun? Then she would be dead without hers.
The part you're missing: we don't live in a perfect world. We live in this world. The one where crazy men will do crazy shit. Arm yourself or not, those crazy men are among us.
That's true, but without guns and with American police you get marginalized people like her murdered by white vets with impunity. See, e.g., This Non-violent Stuff'll Get You Killed. We can't push for a utopia where marginalized people magically stop being marginalized.
Yeah, sounds like this guy had it coming
I can't imagine being tgis mad at someone about somethjng that i would stalk, threaten and potentially assault them. He did tgat over a PARKING SPOT, in pewpew country. Truly a stupid way to die.
He was mad a Black woman "took his" parking spot. This is Florida. That retired magat thought we had lapsed further into "the good ole days" than we have.
This wasn't about the spot this was about putting an "inferior race" back in "it's place".
