A 55-yr-old thug? It's never too late to be just starting to turn one's life around. He used a fake gun, as if it's a reason why he shouldn't have been shot. A 6-yr-old shaped a damned Pop Tart into a gun and people lost their effing minds, the poor kid almost got expelled from school and labelled a trouble maker. We really got our priorities in order, don't we?

I’’d guess using a fake gun in a robbery comes with some risk

“Something doesn’t seem right,” said Igbinosa Oronsaye, whose mother was married to Gildersleeve. “Reggie doesn’t even own a gun. He couldn’t own a gun if he wanted to.”
That’s why he used a toy gun.

“He couldn’t own a gun if he wanted to.â€
In other words - Reggie had a criminal record.

Let me guess...
He was trying to turn his life around.
He was a gentle man who wouldn't hurt no one.
He was an aspiring (expiring) rap artist.
Stop me if you've heard these before...

Guess crime was stopped in its tracks and this dead carcass won’t commit more. Nor will he create risk to society by finding a real gun. Good in this case that the only gun in play was the real one held by a law abiding citizen.

He wouldn’t commit a crime while committing a crime would he Mrs. Eyechart? (igbinosaoronsaye)

Oh, yeah. He had a record:
Gildersleeve had a "lengthy" arrest history, including at least one for robbery, and was out on bond from an unrelated incident from Oct. 23, Guglielmi said.
