Self-defense is regarded as a right deriving from natural law. But that offers no justification to the parents of Michael Grace, Jr. of Charlotte, NC, who was shot to death while attempting to rob a Pizza Hut. CBS North Carolina reports:
It’s been a difficult week for parents Temia Hairston and Michael Grace Sr. Their son, Michael Grace Jr., was shot and killed during an attempted robbery early Sunday morning.
I sympathize. It is a terrible thing to lose a child. That is a wound that will not heal.
Police said Grace Jr. and two other people tried to rob a Pizza Hut in the 3200 block of Freedom Drive. During the incident, an employee fired his own handgun and killed Grace Jr.
Hairston said she learned of her son’s death on social media, and only got confirmation from police after contacting them first. The grieving mother said she has been left with dozens of questions about the situation that have thus far gone unanswered.

Shall I continue, they're easy to find.
Temia Hairston’s last conversation with her son was not an easy one. Michael Grace Jr. had been fired from a series of low-paying, unskilled jobs. He had a 4-year-old child and a pregnant girlfriend. Essentially homeless, the 28-year-old was not in a position to take care of anyone, even himself.His mother didn’t know what he needed more — a motivational speech or tough love.
“He had lost everything. He lost his Pizza Hut job. He lost his primary job. And because he lost his jobs, he lost his car also,”
A few hours after the talk, Grace laced up a pair of Air Jordans, put on a mask and went to the west Charlotte Pizza Hut where he used to work, armed with a gun. Police say he and two men waited until the business was closed, then burst into the restaurant.
Stupid Should Hurt
She might want to start by asking herself a few questions first.
The only answer the mother needs is that her criminal son got shot during his attempt at robbery.
When did Hot Lead make it on to the menu.
I just love a happy ending! Perp's zero, the Good Guy's "1" (one.)
Maybe Mom should be charged with failure to raise a law abiding citizen.
This happened back in 2016. From a WaPo article:

Why was this loser breeding? (because the Democrats wanted him to)
I bet somehow some way this will be my fault
Was it delivered in 30 seconds or less?......................
Oh, please. Your son held up the restaurant and was shot and killed during the crime. Asked and answered. No further questions.
Great questions. Let’s get up to “dozens.”
4. Did the shooter hit center of mass?
5. Does the shooter need more range time?
6. What brand of holster was he using?
Im guessing she got her answers.
She just doesn’t want to except them.
NPV has to be in the millions of dollars. And that’s before putting any value on the incalculable mental anguish of victims. Crime victims take years to get over it and many never do.
There won’t be a Michael Grace III
Most EXCELLENT point there, Tex.
You have failed to absorb the indoctrination which media efforts like Westside Story attempt to promote.
Please watch that incipid trash twenty times, or until you have memorized all the lyrics and empathize with thugs assaulting teenagers in a restaurant for studying to get good grades rather than identifying with the students.
Only Hollywood can set you straight.
Bharffff!!!
Bharffff!!!
