I await the victim blaming and shaming about why she should not have had this ability and just let herself be raped by this kid (after calling 911 during the attack at 2:30am and waiting for them to arrive any minutes later).
Triggered much are we?
I guess it is difficult to accept the fact that someone actually benefited form having the ability to protect themselves without the need for govt (nanny) stepping in and assisting this citizen.
So, do you have anything constructive to add to the thread or are you satisfied with just your own virtue signaling?

Groupthink much do you?

Nope? Well now you're 0 for 2. Maybe you should stop trying to project onto others what you think they believe? I'm actually all for gun ownership. In fact, most everyone in my family old enough to safely handle a firearm has at least one, including the women, including one who was shot in the face by her psychopath ex-boyfriend turned stalker.

Wow, "triggered" and "virtue signaling" — you're a veritable wellspring of independent thought. Indiscriminate blathering of buzzwords is the most prevalent tribal signaling imaginable.
My problem isn't with this woman protecting herself — good on her — I'm glad that she was armed and able to stop this attack before she was raped. The issue I had was with projecting imaginary "victim shamers" as pretext for a self-gratifying whinefest.
First, I am not religious. But it's obvious you don't understand the sacrifice concept.
38 'You have heard how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.
39 But I say this to you: offer no resistance to the wicked. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well;
40 if someone wishes to go to law with you to get your tunic, let him have your cloak as well
Comparing the story of Jesus sacrifice to leftist whining is just arrogance and ignorance all rolled into one.
Awww...you are still butthurt
Well, why do you care about my shout out to those that repeatedly vilify the victims and celebrate the need for only the govt to have the protection of a firearm then. Unless, of course, it struck a bit of a tender nerve in you.

What "leftist" whining are you referring to? Oh, you mean the imaginary garbage you made up?
You need to spend more time reading the bible.
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

To them it is morally superior to be a victim.
You mean like Jesus?

FYI
those verses are event specific to the time it refers.
not commandments at all but a plan for that event when it was spoken
sometimes it is the correct path and others you gotta fight
how else could judgment day ever happen otherwise

She could have shot him in the nuts instead of kneeing him. That would have stopped all future rapes by this guy.
Not really. Rape is about power, not sex. And, in this instance, it was his hand that was used as the implement of attack not his.......(likely very small) appendage.
And even if she did shoot him, she had to have been in fear for her life for it to be justified. Is being raped fearing for your life, legally? Good question. And I bet you get totally opposite answers depending upon your political viewpoint on personal firearm protections.
