Perhaps she didn't want to find out what police ballistic records would reveal about her dead son's deeds?
While I see the irony in this, and don't care for her politics, it still sounds like this is the kind of tough, outspoken woman who is trying to take her neighborhood back from gang violence. I wonder if we would gloat if we actually met the woman and see what she lives with?
It just sounds like she is primarily an anti-
violence campaigner.
Or have you all decided she's an activist who is also a gun-toting meth dealer?
