My biggest problem with this issue is the effort to make it about race. I don't believe race had anything to do with it. I believe it was emotions getting out of control. The lady doing the shooting either got mad or scared, maybe both, about someone pounding on her door and she reacted in an emotionally imbalanced way. I am also wondering why she has not been arrested. I always thought shooting a person through a door was frowned upon. I also have always wondered about how the situation affects whether or not it would be considered a crime. If there are bad guys trying to kick down my door, do I have to wait for them to succeed in gaining access? A ticked off neighbor pounding on my door would not seem to allow me to shoot them through the door.

In any case, I still don't believe race had anything to do with it all. She would have shot a white woman in the same circumstances.
