She didn't ask for it.
According to eyewitnesses she had said "Why don't you just use a gun?". Her attacker pulled out a gun and shot her.
Well now Lauralee, you are correct, she didn't ask to be shot, she dared the mugger to shoot her.
She paid the price for having an alligator mouth and a hummingbird butt.
Never show up for a gunfight unarmed.
There is a time for keeping one's mouth shut, whether on the job or on the street.
Nobody ever "asks" for it, they simply get what life hands to them. Fortunately here in Michigan we are afforded the luxury of carrying the means to protect ourselves against such an incident. However, given her history, it is unlikely she would have taken the steps to protect herself via a concealed firearm........ so sad...
