Koller, author of an impassioned anti-gun letter to the Baltimore Sun in 2013, slugged the armed robber in a Thursday night scuffle that ended with a gunshot tearing through her right shoulder, sources said. "I think it's random," said NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce of the perp's choice of targets.

I do not believe that her ‘epiphanic’ moment of doubt of her anti-2A idiosms will be embraced.

Obviously she was shot with an AK47 bought at a gun show.

She didn’t fight off anything. They robbed and shot her.

Now we’ll see if she wakes up or goes deeper down the Gabby hole.

Then you not familiar with South Ozone Park. More likely a Saturday night special purchased on a street corner.

“Andrea Koller and daughter Meredith Stifter drove up from Maryland to spend the night before the Lehigh University junior was due on a Friday flight for a semester abroad in Cape Town, South Africa.”

Koller was there to put her daughter on a plane to spend a semester abroad in “Cape Town: Most Violent City in Africa”. http://bit.ly/1I0JRQQ

Ironic isn’t it?

That Hampton Inn is in a sketchy area. If Mom had been more alert she wouldn’t have left her daughter alone in an unlocked car.
But she’s a big lib teacher so she wouldn’t want to prejudge her surroundings.

Who the heck would send their daughter to the garbage heap that is now South Africa?

I’m guessing the latter. Why if she had had a gun, someone could have gotten hurt, and that would be bad.

Never mind the whole robber and shot thing, it was a misguided youth who got lost going to Church who found a gun and really wanted to turn it into the PD before the gun grew legs and shot her.

Courageous woman, now if she and her city just had rational views of the 2nd Amendment.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton described the shooting of an out-of-town mom as an anomaly.

"This is America," Bratton said. "We have 300 million guns and a lot of bad people."

Sounds like they need a few more concealed carry citizens. Of course this in Bloomberg's NY, you will never hear that line of reasoning so deep in ComDem territory.

**
Daughter is stupid, too. A 20-year-old who does not have enough sense to lock the car? What?

I lock the doors if I am alone in a parking lot while my husband goes into a store. Even though I live in a quiet little town and even if it’s the middle of the day.

dear mrs don-o,

any exclusion of descriptions of the perps, is newsprint silent language for Negroes.

Correct, the Fascists who run those places feel threatened by armed citizens.
