It's truly amazing to me how black men can (attempt to) commit some of the most heinous crimes imaginable against innocent people but will howl like injured children the second their victims fight back. If they had managed to break into this home and overpower this woman they would have raped her and likely killed her infant son, zero regard for "human decency". But the instant she dared to shoot back it's suddenly "WHAT DA FUCK BRO".
This is why every state in the deep south has extremely generous castle doctrine and self defense laws to where in some cases, some criminal stepping onto your lot line is grounds for lethal force, and why most people there at the very least have a pistol. Just the idea that their victims might shoot back is petrifying to them.
