If a crime was committed... Clearly a woman with keys in her hand was such an immediate threat that the homeowner had no other choice than to execute her.
Fuck off. Reasonable people have long since learned that the investigative process in places like this is an absolute joke. I trust that the police will find a way to claim that this was justified or they will bungle the investigation so badly that they shooter will get off anyway. Why do I think this? Here's a hint: Whitestown.
It's really a coin toss between the shooter is a half-feral MAGA twat who finally got his wish to be able to shoot a brown person and that the shooter is a half-feral MAGA twat who was cowering in their home so afraid of the world outside that he felt that he had no recourse but to execute a woman who walked up to the wrong house.
We recently had a case here in Ocala, Florida, where a bunch of black kids were playing in their yard. They had an old white lady neighbor who hated them, and was constantly calling the cops on them.
On that day, she went to the yard, picked up a roller skate that was laying off to the side, and threw it at the kids. Then she picked up an expensive iPad that a kid had laid down, and went into her house with it.
The kids told their mother, and she went next door, with her kids along, to deal with this neighbor - again. This time, the neighbor shot through the door at chest height, and killed the mother dead, right in front of her 4 children.
Turns out she had been Googling Stand Your Ground laws, and was prepared for exactly this situation, probably even engineered it, knowing that taking the iPad would bring the mother to the front door.
As a notorious racist, who had threatened and tormented her neighbors relentlessly, and clearly planned this murder, everybody immediately dismissed her self-defense position, and she was sentenced to 25 years in prison, where she will likely die.
This is surprising.
It's a woman (who was violent) remember. There is always a hierarchy, and given how blatant this was, it was probably easier to let her hang than to defend her. Save the MAGA energy for a good old boy.
