If she actually following her religion, she would have been stoned outside the city gates.
I have first hand experience with a certain “Jewish” family and the mayhem they regularly cause and I have come to the conclusion that many if not most “Jewish” people are not Jewish religiously, only culturally. Their religion appears to me to be all about turning the consequences of their aberrant behavior into antisemitism and victimhood and they tend to be vehemently anti gun and anti self protection in mindset. They don’t follow their religion at all except the high holidays and don’t seem to know much about what scripture actually says. It’s sad really, they are the children of God and their main job on earth is to show others who God is. They have failed and interestingly enough, their own scripture says that would happen; apparently they don’t read it.
This highly biased woman should not even be able to try such cases, but you know, it’s NYC, right is wrong and wrong is right.
