(37,549 posts)the context of the lawsuit, and a more detailed look at the crime is particularly helpful. She wasn't shot with her own gun--he husband shot her with a licensed handgun registered to him. Her gun--the one she wore for protection, was found in a backpack, loaded, by her front door. She was shot while on webcam with a friend, with her children in the house. She had at one point sought a order of protection, but hadn't followed through. The circumstances are tragic and appalling---and three years old. It's one more death among thousands and thousands.
What I think is far more important is that the lawsuit continued by her estate, which originated when her permit was revoked, was funded and furthered by the rightwing.
Mr. Colmes was a sloppy, token liberal on Fox--he's no better now.
