Also, keep in mind, we have no idea what that woman was shouting as she was pounding on the door and walls (not hard to believe that happened)

She may have been screaming “I’m going to break down this door and smash you in the head!” or “If you don’t come out, I am going to pour gasoline on this house and burn you out!”

Having seen mothers of any race react to threats to their children, those two hypothetical threats do not sound at all outlandish. Mothers reacting to perceived threats to their children can sound nearly unhinged. I know, I have heard those kinds of things before. Every time I have ever heard crazy talk like that, nothing comes of it.

But it isn’t hard to imagine how someone might take it seriously, especially when there is documented bad blood present.

Don't disagree with anything you said. My opinion, shooting someone through a door which hasn't been or isn't being breached is likely to be prosecuted. She has been charged. From the article, the sheriff responded to the delay with Now many of you were struggling to understand why there was not an immediate arrest. The laws here in the state of Florida are clear. Now I may not like them. I may not agree with them. But however, those laws I will follow . What he's referring to as he stated on Fox this am is that the stand your ground law in Florida requires the sheriff (I presume police authorities involved) to determine whether a stand your ground defense if viable prior to charging. A good idea. Only a fool wouldn't have legal counsel immediately, but it means full blown legal consequences and their expense won't be necessary until the sheriff in this case has investigated and determined stand your ground doesn't apply. A big financial saving versus the shooter having to prove it in court, even in a preliminarly hearing. He determined this wasn't a stand your ground case, "simply a killing", aka homoicide. Thus the delay for a couple days in charging manslaughter with a firearm, culpable negligence, battery and two counts of assault . All said, a legitimate outcome. Another article

BTW she threw skates at the kids. No mention of an ipad. The author completely misstated the stand your ground issue.
