Evanovich's sisters say they know what their brother was doing was wrong, but they say the police should have handled the response because theyre trained to deal with crimes in progress. Johnita Beal says the witness should have dialed 911, "Police could have been easily contacted, easily, and my brother would have been behind bars, or something like that, but no, he's gone now."

I was thinking that it would have been better if the brother had himself gone straight to the police instead of to the scene of the crime but I suspect that the idea never entered his imagination.
it’s always somebody else’s fault when the thug gets his just rewards.
poor baby.
The point remains that if this individual had chosen to NOT commit a crime he would still be alive.
Why does the TV station give these two amoral morons the space to display their depravity before the world? Why does the clueless reporter introduce the piece by saying the dead thug’s relatives want “justice?” Justice, we have. Minneapolis is that much safer because the girls’ brother (stepbrother?) is no longer with us.
and Big Momma has a record,too.
she should complain to the courts. had her son been in jail for his previous felony robbery(and done more than 45 days) ,maybe he’d still be alive.
Unfortuanualy, MN does not have “stand your ground” law , so I’m betting the CCW holder will face charges by the county(this IS MPLS) as well as a civil suit from the “good boy’s” family supported by the Star Tribune, WCCO TV, and MPR and local NAACP.
From a practical stand point, he should not have chased the perp. Because of that, he will probably get in some kind of trouble.
This young perpetrator was armed with a gun and was attacking a middle aged woman. She could well have been killed or at least seriously injured waiting for the police to arrive. This quick intervention likely saved her life and that the young hoodlum was killed as a result is just too bad and is the result of his own bad decisions and a law enforcement and justice system that fails to take these hoodlums out of society.
“Seems to me if you rob someone at gunpoint, youre playing God right there, and you never know but that someone might play God right back at you.”
Amen!
