She was holed up in her bedroom with her infant child. If her attackers wanted to rob her, they would have taken her stuff from the rest of the house and left.PlasticTree said:Of course, it's justified, this is just self-defense.
Doesn't mean I find stories like this a reasonable justification for a country to allow the ownership of guns though (I bring this up since these are exactly the kind of situations that are used to justify that). The women's behavior was justified, but if she didn't have a gun nobody would have died. The women might be recently widowed and I'm sure the robbers were mean sons of bitches, but a dead son of a ***** is still way worse than a robbed widow.
The fact that they explicitly broke into her bedroom means they were planning to attack her. Most likely rape possibly followed with murder.
If she hadn't had a gun, she and probably her baby would be the ones dead, not the fuckhead who decided to attack her.
