(10,053 posts)I'll never forget the day I was piddling around the house and I kept hearing screams (joyful!) and laughter outside. I looked out the window and there were 3 kids of varying ages running around and they looked like they were having the time of their lives! Nothing fills me with more joy than watching kids play and having a good time.

I am a night shift worker but I will NEVER yell at children playing and having fun....

(22,357 posts)Wanting to outsource violence to a Black woman in prison means she'll likely spend even more time in jail. That's not justice.

(22,357 posts)perspective? A source of discomfort? Self-reflection? -- to a white woman who has just killed another Black woman is also violence.

(5,856 posts)You assume a black woman would be violent, frightened, or bothered. You assume I meant violence. Maybe stop assuming as if you know the inner workings of whomever you please. A black woman might enjoy making her uncomfortable (without violence) and being able to witness that discomfort.

(22 posts)She's going to say she feared for her life and invoke the castle doctrine. Charging her for the roller skate at least gets her for hitting the child.

The problem isn't a woman who looks her age, the problem is GUNS.
Take her gun out of the equation, she'd have screamed through the door, the Mom would have screamed back, the cops would have been called (again!) by the neighbors and they'd have told those two to stop screaming and just leave each other alone.
