    "They seemed like they were scared of me, because I was going ballistic," Smiglewski told 7 News. "I was like a little gorilla."

      Yes youths of mysteriously unknown skin tone and heritage. By avoiding mentioning race they have instead made it more notable. Now whenever you don't hear race mentioned you know exactly who did it. Even if it is thought of as a "white guy" crime. That is how I figured out that the Buffalo shooter a couple years back was black. It was a random shooting so like most people I was Imagining a white guy went off his rocker but as I noticed that mention of race was suspiciously absent I realized it must be a black guy. Dug into it and sure enough, it was. By avoiding the obvious they are only reinforcing the very stereotypes they claim they want to avoid.

    Fight or flight. Guess we know which one Rachel reacts with! lol. But seriously, she’s lucky to have walked away from that. But I have to admire the spirit in her for sure! Rachel is taking names 🤭

    I’m so happy for & proud of her! 👏 She had her “ENOUGH” moment up during a harrowing incident, but I think we just witnessed a transformation here-no one will EVER be able to take advantage of her again! ✊

    She is very lucky but please don't do what she did. Hand the keys over and then call the cops. A man was just killed by carjackers in the parking lot of a Walmart in San Antonio. Innocent man shopping with his wife and child returning to their car 😥

      Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and what is right. It is tragic when people lose their lives but the criminals need to be confronted and stopped. Brave people stand up no matter the consequences.

      I hate to spoil her story but running after guys who have guns and have already pistol whipped you is CRAZY stupid dangerous!! Don't do this, "it ain't worth it" was the correct FIRST assessment. I'm glad she wants to stand up for herself, I don't want her to come to a gunfight armed with bare feet.
