I saw this on facebook (where else?) and had to check on it, because when I see something about little white girls gruesomely ending the lives of 2 evil brown men, thus protecting both her home and presumably her honor, circulating heavily among right wing circles, I always have to check into it, because 9 times out of 10, these stories are hoaxes that conservatives believe without fact checking because it confirms the racist attitudes they use to partially justify gun ownership. (The rest of their justification is that they are the only truly persecuted people in America and therefore need their guns to fend off the government, which is just salivating at the prospect of preventing them from attending church and wants to take all their worldly goods and give them to undeserving POC. Right.) Of course this story was a hoax. There are a few incidents where minors protected their homes with handguns, but there were no evil brown robbers and murderers and no sweet little white girl gunslingers who killed them and unintentionally avenged another white man’s death. The only thing real here is the fact this is an incredibly racist conservative fantasy that contibutes to things like this, where the very presence of a Latino kid on your property is clear evidence that the brown people are coming for you and you are totes justified in killing them…even if they’re just looking for their friends house and showed up at the wrong address.
