She didn't deserve ask for it, or deserve to be murdered in a cold street in front of her friends like that, and right in front of her finance after he had been pistol whipped and beaten.
Shame on CBS and the man who wrote this garbage.
As cold and heartless as it sounds, she got what she asked for.
1. Shoot the mugger.
2. Shoot the mugger again.
There is such a thing as a stupid question.
Also if there were stronger penalties, maybe the guy would have thought TWICE before pulling that trigger.
He'll be out in a few.
A big mouth is usually not a match for a gun.
Common sense says you don't talk back to someone holding a gun which is pointing at you. You certainly don't ask them if they are going to shoot you!
I agree. There are various ways of confronting an attacker. Daring him to shoot you is about the dumbest I can think of. But making him think you are completely helpless and will do anything he demands is not smart, either, as numerous cases have shown.
Unfortunately, it's easy to Monday morning quarterback about such things, but no one knows what they will do in that kind of situation until it actually happens. Some people will panic, some will freeze up, some will try to deal with it the best they can.
If you are going to talk tough, you better have the means to back it up. She lived in a fantasy world, and probably thought she could write (talk) herself out of the situation as if it were a script.
That means, if it's pointed at me, someone is going to destroy me. I'm going to keep my trap shut and look for a chance to shoot, run, floor it, or fight, depending on the situation.
People kill people. It's the shooter's fault. She didn't deserve this at all, but unfortunatly, she didn't have street smarts and made herself an easy target.
Gosh, if only we would have invested that extra $3 trillion in improving the self esteem of psychopaths, none of this would have happened.
Never bring a mouth to a gunfight.
She was probably too drunk to decide what to do. Having a gun would have done her no good in an inebriated state.
You're right and this should go without saying, the kid should have had something positive going in his life as oppossed to sticking people up. He and his parents are to blame.
She should have been armed and blew the sonofbitch away.
These people are full of it. Robbery is how these parasites finance themselves.
Her boyfriend is busying spouting platitudes lest he be forced to answer why his spineless, pussified self didn't defend his girlfriend in crisis.
She didn't deserve ask for it, or deserve to be murdered in a cold street in front of her friends like that, and right in front of her finance after he had been pistol whipped and beaten.

Never speak ill of the dead.
