What could have prevented Eliza Fletcher's death?

Of course Eliza Fletcher is now sadly and tragically dead.

This is widely reported in the media.

But the question arises, in my mind at least, 

was there any way this outcome could have been prevented?

Well, there is one way, which may not be palatable to many.

Suppose she was carrying a gun, a lady's model to be sure.

Suppose that when she saw this black male running "aggressively" to her,

she had shot him, possibly killing him.

Or, less leathlly, used pepper spray or Mace.

I know how the media would have played that, 

as an instance of white racism.

But what do you think?

Was there any way of preventing her death?

The record of violence by black men against white women is clear, 

if generally ignored.

What can forestall that violence?

In the words of Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, 

this was "an isolated attack by a stranger."
