Seems to me that's the advice they used to give airline passengers and crew members prior to 9/11.
Just sayin'
No word from his mother .
They don’t know if his father is his father or his uncle
"According to the district attorney's office, it is doubtful charges will be brought against the store manager based on the police investigation and evidence.
But the final decision should be made by the beginning of next week."
Which gives plenty of time for the race-baiters to mount their protest, at which time the local police will likely fold like a cheap Republican...
Another Obama FSA mutt bites the dust.
How he will be remembered? I can tell her how he will be remembered. As an armed thug who got what the hell was coming to him.
The robber was shot, then ran away.
His body was found a block and a half away on Holston Drive.
The grandmas usually say "He shouldn't have took the law into his hands."
It's OK for their grandbabies to rob and kill people, and it's not OK for anybody to stop them.
“The grandmother of a man shot in killed Wednesday outside a Dollar General Store in East Knoxville is sharing her thoughts on the incident and how her grandson will be remembered.”
Is not the proper way to “remember” him that he died as a criminal who was in the process of committing an armed robbery?
Armed robber killed tied to five other robberies, victim speaks out
Five robberies in three weeks.
The Dollar general guy should get a medal as he undoubtedly saved a life or two: "According to police, the suspect in those incidents was very aggressive during the robberies and the level of aggressiveness was increasing with each robbery committed."
Good riddance I say! The store manager should be commended, another little punk off the streets.

To get a good idea of what we Knoxvillians think of subhuman vermin like the one here that (”that” deliberately used instead of “who,” even though I’ll often use “who” in referring to loving, decent dogs) got a permanent dirt nap, just read the comments to the story.
There are three traditional aggravations in this story:
1) “I felt like he shouldn’t have done it (shot her grandson). He should have left everything up to the police,” said Robinson.
2) Police recommend people give the robber what they want. “It’s certainly not worth losing your life over $20, $30, $100 or so, so we always tell people to comply.”
3) Isaacs also says you are not entitled to use deadly force if you are not in imminent danger.
From an Arizona point of view, only the grandmother’s opinion deserves any respect, but only from the point of view that she would be expected to prefer a live grandson to a dead one, no matter how heinous his crimes.
Of course it is not worth losing your life over $20, $30, or $100. But it is fine and dandy if the armed robber loses *his* life for the cost of a few bullets. It is not fair to the taxpayer that he should deprive them of a million dollars or two by his upkeep for a decade or more. His life isn’t worth a fraction of that.
Finally, HELL YES, you can use lethal force even if your life is not in imminent danger. You can use it in many cases just to prevent a felony. In fact, that is one of the big meanings of the word felony, that it is serious enough to lose your life over.
“At common law when the British and American legal systems divorced in 1776, felonies were crimes for which the punishment was either death or forfeiture of property.”
///The grandmother of a man shot in killed Wednesday outside a Dollar General Store in East Knoxville is sharing her thoughts on the incident and how her grandson will be remembered.
He will be remembered as a turd.
I wish grandma had taught her grandson right from wrong.
All I have to say to her is... that's one, grandma. Better get busy on the others before you lose them, too.
Grandma, he's going to be remembered as a stupid low-life thug who tried to kill a store manager. Now he daid.
Give the manager a medal. He’s a hero.
No. If you break into my house and use no force against me, I will still shoot you or attempt to beat the crap out of you.
The store I worked at was also in the neighborhood where the carjacking took place and a mile or two from the double murder torture to follow some have heard about.
I'm glad this guy didn't kill someone. According to our local paper he was becoming more and more agressive in his robberies.
