I got my mother to understand the situation when I aggressively asked her what she'd do if a bunch of people started running at her car, screaming and pointing guns at her, telling her she has two seconds to decide, so decide RIGHT NOW!

She said she'd try to stop for the police, but I kept pushing her hard, asked if she was sure she'd hit the brake, or if she might hit the gas, and lurch a bit, and she said that might happen, and I said "BANG! BANG! You just got shot in the face. Did you deserve it?"

She gets it now.

Yeah, the shooter's phone video is available now and imo pretty much shows this. There's people walking around on all sides of her vehicle while she's trying to turn around. The shooter circled it completely. That kind of thing makes it really hard to keep track of where everyone is at. She also clearly doesn't point the wheels at him when she went forward but she did clip him (which if he was following policy wouldn't have happened). She fucked up but it wasn't a reason to shoot her. His actions are indefensible.
