    Personally, I think she may have done a good thing. She is not the only victim. If other would-be bigots learn not to spout hateful bullshit, she has helped more people than herself.

    Admittedly, I was not there. It’s possible she was looking for an excuse, but that’s not the impression I get from the story.

        No, that’s not remotely what anyone said. I think it’s acceptable for a person to defend themselves.

        She was understandably afraid after being pushed to the ground. Nobody got shot.

        Kelver, while still on her back, allegedly pulled out a .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun, racked it, and pointed it at Durham. She put the gun away after Durham and his group walked away, then returned to her job at the Crowbar & Grille, according to the prosecution.
