Yes, her son was a criminal and the shooting was justified.
Mothers, do not raise your sons to be criminals. It will not end well.
What LBJ and the Democrats have done, intentionaly or not, to the black family, has created horrific consequences.
I was flipping channels one night and I saw a show about the death penalty. As the perp was being led to the death chamber, the camera crew watched his mother back at home. She was in wrenching grief. Then she told the crew.
“I know he didn’t do it (the murder for which he was being executed). I just know it!”
“How are you sure?”, someone asked her. “They have the confession. They have his fingerprints on the gun...”
“I just know he didn’t do it,” the mother wailed, “BECAUSE I KNOW I DIDN’T RAISE NO KILLER.”
The grandmother here isn’t grieving her grandson. If she was, she would have done whatever she could to prevent his life of crime. No, she’s grieving her failure as a parent and “what will the neighbors think” about her now that everyone knows she was raising a thug.
It’s all about her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be doing tv interviews.
“My grandson is gone. He’s never coming back”
Can I have a hallujah and an amen.

“Davis says her grandson got mixed up with the wrong crowd.”
Fun moment when a judge of my acquaintance completely lost patience with this beaten to death cliche, and snarled:
“Your son wasn’t WITH the wrong crowd, he WAS the wrong crowd!”
uhhhh... because the aluminum baseball bats were somewhere else at the time?
You have to feel for the family’s grief.
But this man was shot during the commission of a violent felony, and it should happen more often.
Would the felony murder rule apply to the other two robbers, who are indifferent to the value of human life?
Dogs don't carry guns or commit armed robberies.
Didn’t turn his life around soon enough - had several strikes against him - someways is sad that he was in a life that seemed to provide all the wrong things including wrong choices for his life. Seen it many times growing up - kids in bad homes getting into foster care and if they are lucky they turn out good citizens if not they are in prison or dead.
