Personally I hope she is never charged with anything. I think most of us on here share that same opinion.

Looked up the GS...that does stand for "God, that's SEXY!"? Dad will approve. Can I get an elk on that?

Do you have one? I foresee an image of the bike, a NEMO, and you, on that range.

Sadly, two facts to this incident hold truth;
1-We're all armchair quarterbacking, and all FACTS have yet to be released, and there's nothing wrong with that, it creates conversation and practical exercise scenarios.
2-Unless you've put more than a few thousand miles on a bike, you have absolutely zero idea what it's like to ride fully unprotected amongst vehicles and, generally, their actions towards a motorcycle. Owning a bike for a couple of years doesn't give a large amount of information, thousands an thousands of miles does.

I honestly do have well over 100k miles on a bike, well over, for the past 38 years.
Many of those years were spent at redline and wild, which garners distrust and disrespect of cagers, which I fully understand AND agree with.(trying to hurt or kill a rider a big no no)
Which brings up a negative perception of a motorcycle rider when a few does some sketchy unsafe shit on the road, which tends to lead towards a confrontation when a cager feels slighted and has a bit of anger/control issues.
Being a rider, very safe rider these days, I get to see, and I am more aware, of the actions of a cager with issues against anyone on a bike, regardless of that riders riding style. But I also have seen a much more negative perception of the "crotch rocket" style bikes, have yet to see a grey haired old guy on a huge Honda get any flak.
We do not know what led up to the contact, yet. REGARDLESS, physical contact was wrong on both sides, and he was shot solely due to that fact.
If it'd been a 300lb rider on a Harley, the guy would've never approached the rider, being a young girl......guy had control issues, at least my opinion.
A couple things I myself perceived when I first read about this, what did she do prior that pissed off the cager, why didn't she try to get away, and if she couldn't have gotten away due to crashed bike or traffic why get into physical contact... whether I am right in my assumption, doesn't make me wrong to make that judgement, just not fully informed like the rest of us.

If anything to remember from this, don't get into a physical altercation.
Unless there's a gun to your head, walk/run away an let the police sort it out as only your family is worth dying for.

That is an enlightening write up. They were not pulled over... That is key information.
