She's not defending anyone. That's the problem. When someone points out that there was no reason for her to leave her car and go after the woman with a gun, people assume you're ok with what the other woman did. Not true.
People in this country seemed shocked that you can't go around aiming guns in people's faces when you feel the slightest bit threatened.
Isn’t that when you should pull out self protection?
When you are being threatened?
Once safely in the car with her husband, a reasonable person would no longer feel threatened and they certainly wouldn't leave the safety of the car to confront the person who was threatening to beat her up.
There's a case in Connecticut that explains it pretty well.

Read the whole thing, but here's one paragraph:
Self-Defense Fails If Defender Becomes Aggressor
The failure of Sumpter’s claim of self-defense is found in the element of Innocence. How can that be, you might ask, given that it’s uncontested that the three aggressors attacked HIM. Because, as the media itself reports: “After being assaulted inside the coffee shop, Sumpter ran outside and stabbed one of the men.”
That is a problem. In the eyes of the law what we have here is not a single fight in which Sumpter defended himself against the attack of the three aggressors. That fight did happen, but it also ended, when the aggressors left the coffee shop.
When Sumpter then pursued them and stabbed them, he became the aggressor in a second fight. As the aggressor in this second fight he lost the element of innocence, and thus lost self-defense as a justification for his stabbing one of the aggressors.
Similar in that the "defender" got to the safety of her car and was in the process of driving off. The woman and her daughter didn't have a weapon and couldn't get into the car. The defender became the aggressor when she left her car and pointed a gun in the woman's face.
Seriously, what do people think the woman and her daughter were capable of once the man and woman were in their car?
You're making a faulty assumption here.....all of you are. There is no way the woman being threatened could know if the crazed bitch threatening her had a gone or not. Bullets go through cars and car windows with ease. So yea, there was a lot the black woman could have done to the couple even though they got into the car.
If someone came after me in a parking lot threatening me, pounding on my car, threatened my husband (ex), walked behind my car blocking me from pulling out of the parking lot, I would automatically assume she has a gun. Because no one in their right mind would pull that crap unless they had protection of some kind, because you never know what another person will do. The black woman took a big chance confronting the white woman in such a nasty manner. If she did that to someone else, she could have picked the wrong person....and been shot and killed. It's obvious the black woman was itching for a fight.
Personally, if that happened to me, I'd do whatever I had to do to get out of there, including running the bitch over if she didn't get out from behind my car.
