This is literally right up the street here. I could walk there in an hour or so. This happened right in front of the first house we lived in in Texas. Like right out front. We drive this every day.

She says that she won't help people like she is punishing society for this. But let's face it, if wildly shooting at people in a non-life threatening situation is what she calls help I think we can all agree that her not helping people is best for everyone.

From what I read, she pulled a weapon and fired at a moving car for people that might have been shoplifting. I don't know any situation where I want someone firing a gun at a moving car over alleged shoplifting.
