A 58-year-old white woman antagonized the black children who lived next door. She frequently called them vile names. She threw a pair of skates at them, hitting one of them.

The kids, ages 9 and 12, walked up to her door with their mother and knocked on the door. The white woman then shot the black mother through the closed door, killing her.

It took days of protest for #police to even arrest her. I'm glad they finally did

@jrefior This is just so horrible and so sad.... That those children lost their mother. The woman who shot her, who harassed and assaulted her kids, she needs to be in jail, and we cannot allow this kind of thing to keep happening. It sounds like the shooter should have been charged with harassment from past calls and had a restraining order on her, and weapons taken away for her threatening and harassing behaviors. This shouldn't be allowed to happen.

@jrefior I'm sure she'll just say "Castle doctrine! Stand your ground!" and the DA will be like "Okay then, you're free to go".
