Lousy mother, Tamon, brother Raiquan, grandpa Bobby

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.”

quote “he just automatically went into the store and shot my son in the head”
as he should have!
GOOD AIM BY THE WAY MAN! *high five* !!
Just put that in my “You can’t make this crap up” folder.
That has to be PhotoShopped, right?
Satire-R-Us?
No one is dumb enough to write a sign saying that, then allow himself to photographed carrying it in broad daylight, right?
I didn’t think that we were that ignorant!
This is one of the few threads where some freeper didn’t suggest more shooting time at the range, or making the shot more lethal, etc. One shot, one hit, one dead. What impressed me most was he did it while he had the gun pointing at the girl’s head.
Well, she ought marry the guy and treat him well, he sounds like a keeper.
I HAD DONE JUS PULT UP that pitcher....no wut Im sayin??
Raiquan,??? where you get them threads at???
The police thought about it and said, "We won't charge the good guy, but we will give him credit."
From the news story about the mom it’s easy to see where the armed robber, now maggot food, got his intellectual abilities.
This poor boy was using a gun to commit a felony at 02:30 and Mama wants the HERO arrested because said HERO had no idea of what the outcome of Tamon's actions would be. Would Tamon have used the gun on the store clerk? No one will know because the HERO stopped an armed robbery when seconds potentially cost an INNOCENT life. Sorry Mama, your poor boy made a bad decision and has paid the unforgiving price!
Yep. That’s for sure.
Right - a cellphone in hand is worth more than a gun. Bloomie. How did she know he wouldn’t have killed everyone in the store the way this one guy did in CO - killed everyone and a video of the girl begging for her life; gunned down.
Looks like that guy is....
It's possible that he semi-automatically shot her son in the head.
We just had a local cop forced to shoot a 17 year old girl holding up a convenience store who then turned the gun on the cops when they ordered her to drop it. Turned out to a CO2 powered pistol.
Daughter of a well known local Ob/Gyn.
The family issued a statement after the funeral acknowledging her mental issues and standing by the cop who was forced into that situation.
Tragic indeed, but refreshing to see someone accept responsibility for their child for a change.
Pointing guns at store clerks is a dangerous career mama. Sorry for your loss but your son was an idiot criminal.
Notice his hands and posture.
I guess I'm out of touch with Obola's America.
We don’t always know what an armed criminal will do. That was apparent yesterday in Charleston. A phone doesn’t stop maniacs, but guns do.
