They are both a bunchy of tossers.

Apparently the White woman bumped into the daughter but didn't say anything. I know it's easy for armchair quarterbacks out there to grandstand about "just leave it alone/move on," but I guarantee if someone in public ran into them and didn't offer a simple "excuse me" they'd be livid.

Instead of apologizing the woman says nothing and in fact escalates it by acting out. Then the daughter involves the mother and escalates it from there.

And the Black woman and her daughter escalated the situation by blocking the car and then smacking it leaving a hand imprint. Does that require the White woman to get out of her car and point a gun? She should have just called the cops at that point.



Michigan's Self Defense Law


(1) An individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses deadly force may use deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if either of the following applies:
(a) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent death of or imminent great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another individual.
(b) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent sexual assault of himself or herself or of another individual.

Didn't read the law before... so Michigan *IS* a duty to retreat state, just like I thought. The only loophole here is you may shoot if being shot at, basically.

In a stand your ground/castle doctrine state, you don't need to retreat at all. If you feel threatened, you may shoot. Applies to car and home and place of business, if you own it.
