“I also liked that they have a really good facial of one of the young adults...”

Anyone notice the young adult that came back for the piece of clothing had a gun in his right hand and before he came back, he went into a shooting stance at the front of the car pointing the gun at the woman’s location?

There were two things she did wrong:

first she didn’t fire on them when one of them produced a weapon and a threatening stance with it pointing at her location, and two she fired at them while they were retreating. The Florida stand your ground statute says:

(1) A person who is in a dwelling or residence in which the person has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and use or threaten to use:

“Nondeadly force against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force.

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0776/Sections/0776.013.html

When the gunman turned and pointed the weapon, this could have triggered the response. But he turned tail and left before she opened fire and stepped outside to do it. This will depend on the interpretation of the court on whether deadly force was justified at the time of the response. At this point, she doesn’t really have much of a leg to stand on as the threat was gone before she chose to open fire unless we couldn’t see if the person with the gun turned again. That’s why I say it will depend on the judge and what evidence he’ll accept to determine if a further threatening act actually can be confirmed.

See post 24; she is not being charged.

There is a previous post and the video you should re-examine. It appears she was receiving fire by the debris coming from behind her. As the Broward County Sherriff’s office said, she will not be facing any charges, nor should she be - if my interpretation is correct, she was returning fire.
