(1,779 posts)You expect someone to sit back and watch a gang of degenerates destroy and steal her hard-earned property? Maybe her only way to get to work and shuttle her family around? Is it also her fault for parking her car on the street knowing it might get stolen? I mean, had she not parked it there, none of this would have happened, right?
I see a strong-willed woman willing to defend herself and her property, and she did exactly what she had to do.
The misguided 13 year-old got exactly what he asked for, regardless of how unaware he was of the realities of life at that age. there are other people to blame for his behavior. And in a just world, his accomplices would be charged with the murder since they were in the act of committing a felony when their buddy was shot.
Victim blaming is not something I can't get behind, and this woman is most certainly the only real victim in this story.
