She basically fired warning shots into a wall during a confrontation with her abusive husband. No one was injured or killed. But this wasn't considered self defense and she was sent to prison.

What the hell kind of justice system are they running down there?

Sounds about right for the embarassment of a nation called the United States. Pretty embarassing I spent 6 years in foreign countries defending this mockery of a "world power", with it's hypocrisy, bogotry, ignorance, and racism. Shame on me. I should have known better, but I did not.

No statements or facts provided impossible to judge if it was self defence from the info provided.

She turned down 2 years in prison didn't she or something like that?

I hope your not stupid enough to be comparing this case to the Zimmerman one..

Cause its an incredibly sucky comparison if so..

A shot at the city of SF? lol. Am I supposed to be offended. A city is a city, if you don't like it, who cares.

Why people post this? You have to do your research. She was free on bond and she was told not to have any contact with her husband that was abusive. She went to his house and assaulted her.
