I don't care what anyone says. If you can't aim well enough to shoot an intruder in your own home, you shouldn't have a gun in the first place. The argument that this girl put anyone in any real danger is laughable, and a transparent attempt to justify further punishment when we all know it'd be pointless
No one is above the law. Not even young college girls.

She sure put herself in danger didn't she. I don't see anything laughable about it.
Jail time is not the answer. America sure is jail crazy. Probation & AA should be fitting. The man who shot the girl seems abit jumpy. I sure wouldnt want to live in his house. Also were the doors locked ? How did the girl get into the house ?

Why send her to AA? Plenty of drunken college students never become alcoholics.
It is common sense to lock your doors, and these idiots did not do it. To use your analogies, how about these....
1. I am a super hot girl dressed like a tramp, and my shirt says "please rape me." I then get raped and cry about it.
2. I am a white guy who walks around with a shirt that says "I hate black people." I then get jumped by a black guy even know I did nothing to him.
3. I drive around in my crappy Ford Escort, and no one ever has broke into it for the five years I have had it. Today, I withdrew $20,000 from the bank and put it in my glove box. On the back window, I write in big letters " I have $20,000 in cash in glove box." I then go to the mall, when I come back I find my window smashed and the money was gone.
Now, in all these situations I committed no crime and I was the victim. Obviously, I was asking for it though, just like the fool who left his door unlocked. Now do you see my point?

I'm not suggesting we put her above the law. To do that, I'd have to say she should press charges on the one that shot her! But I recognize that the law is what defends the act of shooting her.
And this has nothing to do with her being young or female. If this had happened to anyone else, and all the other details were the same, I'd still say prison would accomplish absolutely nothing (except maybe making things worse).

Yes, herself. No one else. That was the argument, remember?

I was referring to the "drink makes you do dumb things" defense. It doesn't apply to drunk drivers and it shouldn't apply to drunk burglers, either. Follow the logic, man!
