Single mom facing jail time in NJ for self-defense, honesty

[Indy Texas]

What does the fact that she's a single mom have to do with any of this?

She broke the law and ought to be punished. But I oppose minimum sentencing laws as a general rule and this is another example of why I do.

At least a single woman living in Philadelphia might actually have a justifiable reason to use a firearm in actual self-defense, as opposed to the histrionic white male in a gated exurb community who's all "MUH PRIVATE PROPERTY!" and is the typical concealed carry license recipient.

The fact that her kids will have to go without a mother who is the only person providing for them?

So, you think she should be locked up for a year? Six months? Either way, that's a long time for her kids to go with no mother providing for them.

Any evidence for this claim or just another one of your bigoted generalizations?

I never said I thought she should go to jail, period. But there are plenty of kids with parents in jail for "victimless crimes" like marijuana possession or unpaid tickets. Do you feel sorry for them?
