The article itself was fascinating. The history of law on that island must be tremendously interesting. This seems like an extraordinary young woman and it's sad to hear of her misfortune.
The article mentions her wanting a weapon amd choosing a machete- unlikely she had access to a firearm. We can only speculate as to her stance on firearm legality but she didn't deserve this either way, and it's a shame she didn't have the opportunity and/or inclination to have a firearm.
This is a reminder that while the police may catch the bad guys, when seconds count they're only a few minutes away. We all deserve the right to defend ourselves.
