Black women love me in the work place.  We talk hair and everything.

Yes, but see, the difference between us is that I'm not secretly thinking about lynching them with their hair extensions.

Warning shots aren't really covered by either SYG or self defense law at all. Whereas actually shooting someone is.

Huh.  That is pretty backasswards.

Not really. Using a gun to threaten someone is not self defense. And that is what a "warning shot" is most of the time.

This women fired a gun inside a house with people in it. That is all kinds of stupid.

It isn't go to jail for 20 years stupid, certainly, but it is not and should not be any part of legal firearm use to go around firing "warning shots" when using a gun aggressively, as she was doing.

Pretty much agree with everything you're saying in this post--and it's not often that I'll agree that a prison sentence is too heavy.

It certainly could be, depending on the circumstances.

To be fair, according to American cops, warning shots are more dangerous that shots to kill.

Warning shots are pretty stupid.

Warning shots or no, shooting your gun into the air is just plain neat.  Great way to celebrate something.

Maybe legally it isn't, but it's all kinds of fucked up.  In what world does it make sense that you can't threaten someone to get them to break off a threatening behavior on their part?  Why does any self-defense has to immediately go to 11?

Is it American cops who are unable to shoot people in the legs, unlike the cops of other countries?

Of course you can threaten someone to cease their behaviour.
