Families want justice for suspects killed after robbery of Krick's Korner store in Reading (PA)

Family members of the two masked men shot to death after allegedly robbing a store in Reading spoke out Tuesday.

"It's not fair," said Virginia Medina, mother of 24-year-old William Medina, who police said robbed Krick's Korner store alongside 18-year-old Robert De Carr on Monday.

The two men were shot and killed by a private citizen while leaving the store, and family members want to see charges pressed.

"[William] had no right to lose his life over something that man could have called the police for," said Medina. "He took the law into his own hands and walked away scot-free."

"How about if people just start running around here, policing the city on their own? How much worse is it going to get?" said Peter Ratel, Medina's cousin.

The family members said they are hurt by comments suggesting the alleged robbers were "thugs."

According to Medina, William was "no big hard criminal" and was rather a family-man who loved his young daughter.

Robert De Carr was described similarly by his sister, Taylor De Carr. "My brother was a good kid," she told 69 News.

Yes, but were he and the mother married and living together to raise the daughter?

He just robbed a store with a stolen gun, and then pointed that gun at another citizen. Yeah, what a great guy!/s”””

In the black welfare community, that is an upstanding citizen!!!

They don’t even realize that they have no STANDARDS at all.

You keep making claims; post some facts, figures and links instead of BS. If you are capable.

If it’s a joke, why not post facts, figures, numbers and links? I’m not doing your work or bidding.

Oh, what you haven’t read all the dog shooting stories about cops, or the most recent shooting in CA of a young boy carrying an airsoft bb gun who was shot in the back 7 times, the officer actually fired 8 rounds but hit the kid 7 times. No warning was given and no attempt was made to get the kid to drop the weapon. It was all over FR for about two days, do a search. You are the one who makes statements without proof, show me a link where FReepers bad mouth cops who made a righteous shoot. You can’t because they don’t exist.

I told you where to look and I also told you that you are the one not posting facts and figures. Give me a link to a righteous shooting that FReepers bad mouthed. You can’t do it. Do a search on the boy who was shot 7 times or ask other FReepers, they will tell you.You are apparently an a** kissing cop apologist.

I'm not doing your bidding. You made the claim, you provide the facts, figures, numbers and links. Obviously you can't and never had any intention of doing so.

You're apparently a foul-mouthed, criminal apologist.

No, a**hat, you are the one making false claims about FReepers with none of the proof you claim to require of me and others.Provide proof FReepers bad mouth cops when they make a righteous shoot, you made the claim first, without the proof you claim is necessary yet demand links from others who defend FReepers with out supplying any of your own. You are the one who cannot and will not provide proof of your false claim against FReepers.

There is nothing as stupid as an idiot dumb a** cop apologist except an idiot left wing communist.
