What the family SHOULD have said:
“We are grateful that the good samaritan showed restraint and only fired once. Adric needs serious help to correct his behavior. We do not condone, in the strongest possible terms, robbery or crime of any kind and apologize to the store clerk that Adric was victimizing. We hope that Adric’s time in the hospital and in prison will set him on the path of responsibility.”
What the family said, condensed for brevity:
“HOW DARE YOU shoot our kid while he was committing a violent felony!! Mind your own damn business!”
Thanks for the laugh. The Adric Whites of the world don’t come from families like that.
>> We are grateful that the good samaritan showed restraint and only fired once.
