This woman should fry. The victim only brandished the knife. She was not justified to shoot until he stabbed her. The "Joe Biden" method of scaring away an intruder by shooting into the air fails..... again.

Trying to get laid should not be a death sentence.

Just as in the Zimmerman case there is only one person to tell the tale. Except in this case there are probably surveillance cameras and the divot the billet took out of the pavement.

addendum: Trying to rape should be a death sentence to be carried out immediately by the intended victim.

Addendum: Threatening to stab someone deserves the same penalty.

There is another major difference. Shaniqua does not have any injuries and she was not detained by the attacker.

Zimmerman was pinned to the ground and prevented from fleeing and was injured by Trayvon the thug.

There are lots of details missing in this story, so it is difficult to determine if this woman had any other choices at the time. She did state that she had time to retrieve the rifle and did not intend to hit him with the shot, so my first question is, if she had time to get her weapon, why did she not have time to just leave and report the incident or hold him at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived?

IMO...SYG is going to be looked at all over the country due to its ambiguous interpretations.

This goes against everything the Middle Eastern countries believe in.

Why can't we just all get along?

It was justified imo. She fired a warning shot though and that might hurt her.

Don't believe everything Zimmerman says.

No blood on Trayvon's hands.

Oh, that's really funny! Rape is now 'trying to get laid'.

In any case, all the zimbots firmly stated many, many times that in order to claim self defense/SYG, a person does not HAVE to had suffered any injuries at all, a person just has to be in FEAR for their lives.

How is this case any different?

But there are people who insist on profiling young black men this way while Zim, the real gun toting thug later posing as victim, exited his vehicle with no provocation, manifested the same racist mindset of Spaten.
