Highly editorialized headline. The court is going to decide whether or not her pursuing the bigots that verbally attacked her, which escalated to physical violence and her drawing a firearm, is justified.
This is tough. How does one stand up for themseleves and not prepare for the original aggressors to potentially escalate to physical harm? Would pepper spray have been allowed? A stun gun? What if those options did not deter the aggressors?
“Turn the other cheek” is something the oppressors say to the marginalized.
At the same time, I’d prefer to not have a rando pull a gun on me during a heated argument/attack. I don’t see myself crossing the street to confront a group of people, especially in the current times we live in. But it’s hard to blame someone for having enough of it.
But yeah, let’s say it’s about whether trans people have rights in Wyoming, rather than having the nuanced discussion of what happened.
Well, he had a bloody nose and very light wounds on the back of his head, something must’ve happened, but he also illegally pursued Trayvon in any case.

Was ok when George Zimmerman did it. And he didn’t even get attacked.
