From Reason:
Siwatu-Salama Ra is a 26-year-old black mother who watched in horror as an angry assailant—a neighbor with whom Ra had a dispute—deliberately crashed her vehicle into Ra's car while Ra's two-year-old daughter was playing inside.
Ra removed her unloaded, legally purchased handgun from the glove box and brandished it, scaring the neighbor off.
The assailant, Channel Harvey, was never charged. Ra was arrested for felonious assault. She is now serving a mandatory two-year-sentence, even though Michigan is a Stand Your Ground state and Ra was clearly defending her family on her own property.
Ra is pregnant, and she is expected to give birth in prison.I would assume Siwatu-Salama Ra is an immigrant to the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
And this is what happens to her? Her own Constitution doesn't even protect her?
We need a Revolution.

This is seriously fucked up. She goes to prison for two yrs because a couple pussies didn't want to be out in a snowstorm? Did no one explain stand your ground (or Castle Doctrine) to the jury? Was she represented by a public defender who had no idea what he/she was doing?
The NRA does need to get some lawyers involved for this young woman. If they were truly concerned about gun rights instead of making a buck so should USCCA.
OMG!
Is there no group to help her?
