In reply to the discussion: Marissa Alexander, Woman Sentenced To 20 Years For Firing Warning Shot, Gets New Trial [View all]FreedRadical
(518 posts)that makes it so hard for me to post on DU. The idea that I would have my human experience debated as if if if...
This woman should have had our blessing to shoot the fucker between to eyes. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO WOMEN. Murder, Rape, A thousand forms of assault.
Then we set back, wring our hand about something needing to be done. Not protect them. Then debate it. What about her children. Even if she gets out, she still has the shit stew of child court to deal with. And if the children are still with the father, her life is still in danger.
I give no one permission to debate my experience. The feeling I am having for this woman right now is, had it been me in her place, I would be in prison going " fine fuckers, give me 20. I will protect myself if you will not". I'm hear ain't? And I should have shot him between the eye's!
But that's how I saw my mom do it. Raise 5 children. Buy a house in the early 70's with those 5 children in tow. And not take shit in this America.
Thank you Mom a strong black woman
