“He Could Have Called 911": Dead Robber’s Mom Wants Good Guy Charged For His Death
rightwingnews.com ^ | june 18, 2015

Posted on 06/18/2015 4:00:14 PM PDT by lowbridge

18-year-old armed robber Tamon J. Stapleton stormed into the the Breadbox and forced the female employee behind the counter and towards the register at 2:30 AM with a gun to her head. One of the employee’s male friends happened to be in his car in front of the Breadbox. He retrieved his legally-owned pistol from his car and ran into the store, firing a single shot that struck Stapleton in the head, killing him.

Believe it or not, Stapleton’s mother Joy is now demanding homicide charges be filed against the man who defended the clerk from her violent thug of a son:

The teen just graduated from Austin-East High School. From his mother’s point of view, things were getting better.

“I don’t care what they say about Tamon’s juvenile charges, the past is the past,” said Stapleton.

She plans to fight for charges against the shooter, but police say the case is closed.

“If the store clerk would have killed him I would have felt different,” said Stapleton. “But because that man came into the store and killed him as he watched this robbery go on…he was not in danger. He could have dialed 911 and then went in to the store. But he didn’t, he just automatically went into the store and shot my son in the head.”

You mean to call the same cops that she probably calls racists every other day?

Is this satire?

Well Joy, when seconds matter the police are only minutes away.

You must have been proud of Tamon. Why, when he dropped out of high school, he could spell half a word.

“Mother”

So... she would have been okay if the store employee killed her son BUT the fact that a friend saved a life is at issue? Wow.

So she would want charges on the cop who would have come and killed her son. If you play with guns you may get shot in the head. He was a good boy that only robed a few places. He was turning his life around and was a great new rapper.

I'm certain that the hero was in fact charged for that ammo.

I don’t care what they say about Tamon’s juvenile charges, the past is the past

The past is the past, the present is the present, the future is the future, and your son is dead in all three because you did such a lousy job raising him up, b***h.

She has a point. That head shot should not have been fatal to Tamon - no vital organs there.

In that case she probably would have complained that the employee killed her son just to protect the boss's money and demanded murder charges against her.
