BTW.....I thought that SYG could only be used by white men?
I thought we were trying to figure out how this shooting was the white mans fault, even if there wasn't one present. I'm sure we can find a way to place the blame on whitey.

It seems to me that she had a legitimate reason for shooting the guy (based on what the article wrote) but I do think it is ironic that she thinks her situation is different than Zimmerman... self-defense is self-defense... could the guy said that her outfit made him go after her, so its her fault? It doesn't matter, self-defense is self-defense... its not whenever you think its appropriate because its not based on what you believe...

Not that this has any bearing on my opinion of her case (it really serves as an eye-opener for me that the experience of being American is absolutely not the same for everyone) but you may want to check out her Facebook page before it's taken down.

I am not sure this is self defense though but would like to hear more. The report from the media is sketchy at the best.

The interesting part is that I don't hear from the mass calling her to retreat. If only she didn't step out of the car...
It would have to be a felony assault. If she hasn't done time she's probably legal.

I'm glad she did. It's probably not the first time that he assaulted someone.
