Really?

The Black Aussie model hasn't been seen or heard of since being grabbed and taken to who knows where even though having a valid passport / valid visa  and obeying all conditions  of her sentence by the judge in a US court.

I said to mrs bambu: " They can't do that."
She replied: "Yes they can,  it's their country...they can do whatever they like."

Young mom shot dead in Indeanapolis for saying  "all lives matter".
Well there you go.
If only she'd moved thru society wearing headphones and swaying to the sounds of the Tennessee waltz instead.

More complicated than you have suggested.

This is from her fiance:

According to Ramirez, the shooting started over some racially charged language. Ramirez claimed he and Whitaker and two other people were hanging out along the canal when someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word.

Ramirez said that word prompted a confrontation by a group of strangers in which the suspect’s group shouted “Black Lives Matter” and either Whitaker or someone in her group replied that “All Lives Matter”.

Eventually the two sides separated because they realized they were both armed. The groups then fist bumped and walked away from each other.

However, minutes later Ramirez claims the killer opened fire from a nearby bridge and ran away.

“It was squashed and they went up the hill and left we thought, but they were sitting on St. Clair waiting for us to come under the bridge and that’s when she got shot,” said Ramirez.

Ramirez admitted he returned fire, but didn’t hit anyone.

There is more, but it doesn't feel as relevant to me.

Of course it is.
