Given the track record of Massachusetts police and Attorney General Martha Coakley when it comes to men who defend themselves, their families, and their property against criminals, unfortunately I can't say I blame them much.
The real surprise in this case will be if assault charges are NOT filed against this woman.
Raynham, MA: Man charged with assault after punching child molester- the molester in question reached under the bathroom stall to touch a four-year-old, and the father caught him in the act and rearranged his face a bit, resulting in the assault charges. This is just one example of how f---ed up Massachusetts is.
It gets better and worse. The charges against the father were dropped and the perve fled the country.
