Agreed. I hate seeing victims of crime getting shit for fighting back, even if it may seem excessive to others. I'd bet >90% of the ppl on this forum would take a shot at someone they caught trying to jack their bikes if afforded the opportunity. But more importantly, IMO, laws permitting them to do so would hopefully seriously deter crime. There can only be so many official police officers... It seems like it sucks that she's the one that died, but I'm not exactly sure why the article paints her as "accompanying" him as if she was a bit of a bystander. She tresspassed, broke into the barn?, and participated in stealing the vehicle. Just cause she wasn't driving it off doesn't make her any less responsible in my eyes. But the boyfriend shouldnt be charged with her death as if he shot her or even forced her to be there.
