Hey, your boy there was threatening someone else's life. Guess what, that puts his own life at risk because those people he is threatening? Well, they want to go home to their families too. So if your thug has to get shot and possibly die to ensure that, well that's just too da*n bad. He caused the situation, he gets the consequences. Oh, and don't even try that "he wouldn't have shot the clerk" BS. I, we, anybody else has absolutely no reason to believe that. None. Your thug put people's lives in danger, including his own, and he paid the price. Tough luck, but luck of his own making.
None of what you wrote will ever be read by the family. I doubt it will be on Maury Povich. And it’s doubtful they can even read.
