It's possible because an aspect that most city dwellers aren't considering. She could very well have a screen door as the outer door to her house and the inner door may have been opened. In such a scenario she would have flimsy material between her and the other woman and they often have no locks on top of that. The news won't report on what kind of door she had unless they're forced to, but in the south, where it's often hot and the air is filled with mosquitos, an outer screen door is often the setup.

@bostonteaparty3926 It's possible, as it is possible the claimed racial epithets might not have been yelled or even spoken. For now, all we can go off of is what the media has reported. If there's a correction to the report I'm sure we'll never hear it.

@khismet Trespassing would apply whether you own the domicile or not. Furthermore, stand your ground laws apply whether you're at home or out and about.

Since you can only read about such cases in the stats and the news rarely, if ever, reports on them, I'm going to call that a lie. Don't be racist like the news media.

@F4Insight-uq6nt The word is alleged, and that's what a claim is, an allegation.

@lareinelester685 According to the report, the skates were flung at the child when they were on the neighbor's lawn. Their mother should have called the police instead of violently confronting the neighbor about property theft, especially in a state like Florida where many people have guns.

@lareinelester685 I'm not blaming the mother, don't strawman me. What I'm saying is that she should have called the police. There's another aspect to this as well, the child was somewhere they shouldn't have been. When your child is in the wrong, you don't have much wiggle room in a confrontation. Both parties were in the wrong here and the old woman will almost assuredly be going to prison for the rest of her life, but if the other one had called the police her child might have his tablet back and she'd be alive.

@lareinelester685 First, I'm not blaming the dead person. Second, it's not evil to blame someone if something is their fault, regardless of outcome, regardless of whether they're dead or not. Third, that kind of logic just screams at me that you're someone who can't understand other people at all and who has no real sympathy for them unless you've been through the exact same scenario. I suppose that's par for the course for most of humanity these days, but when I was a kid people had sympathy and empathy, not fake like a celebrity, but real.

@BridgetMiller-t3n I'd say time will tell, but even if that was the case we won't hear about it because that would strengthen her claim of self defense. In fact, if she has a valid claim, we likely won't hear anything more about this scenario.

@lareinelester685 You clearly didn't understand. What you're implying by saying that to understand someone else's situation "you must go through the same thing" is that you can't feel sympathy for someone unless you've undergone the same hardship. That's completely false. Now, whether you understand the implications behind what you're saying are irrelevant, it just means you're a few more steps closer to being a psychopath as well as your parents failed to impart this knowledge to you. A normal, functioning human being should be perfectly capable of understanding other human beings plights and be able to sympathize and/or empathize with them without having had the same experience. That so many these days can't is further proof of the degradation of our society.

@nw1569 It's funny that you think my statement would justify her actions if she had a door she could not see through. Two different scenarios mean two different things. Learn to use logic.

@FabioSuave It's amazing how quickly people reach for that word with no evidence. It wouldn't matter what color either woman was, confronting them at their door considering everything that happened leading up to it was a bad move. The police should have been called instead to retrieve the stolen property.

@khismet Being on the land around the domicile is not the incidence of trespassing, but being on the threshold with the intent to enter is, at least in the event that the space where the child is, was public and/or communal space.

@BridgetMiller-t3n That's not the point of my post, as I was pointing out he didn't know the definition or spelling of the word.
