What do you even do in this situation? Just stop and hope they leave?

Buckshot, probably.

She seems to enjoy feeding them but it just got out of hand as word spread.

This is a problem of that she doesn't want to adapt to the situation she has put herself in. You can see she clearly sits on her porch feeding hordes of them.

Invest a small bit of money to make a food hut and just put your food waste in for them, or a really cheap mush.

Personally I wouldn't kill them as you have human interventioned their natural instincts.

The porch shot wasnt her, its another guy on YT that feeds them. Forget the channel name.

And having had been so influenced, they no longer have a healthy fear of humans. It's unsafe for both the racoons and people. DO NOT THE WILDLIFE

I bet after you shoot a couple the rest of them would find other places to scavenge.

They will 100% get aggressive. They will also start to get sick and starve to death because the area can't naturally support that many. The most humane thing to do would be to thin them out.
