So to drive home the point and mix in some logic....
If GZ shows the gun before the “a$$ whooping” starts, there is no physical confrontation. Nobody attacks someone that is holding a gun on them. On the other hand, if TM is “whooping the sh*t out of GZ” then the shooting is justified.
What seems most likely by her own logic? Exactly.
Yep. She was a big help : )
