ok, maybe you all are completely without mercy here. And maybe the kid was completely BAD through and through. And definitely he shouldn’t have been robbing anybody.
BUT there are no jobs, each criminal can be presumed to have relatives whose hearts are breaking because of the things he did and what ended up happening with him This grandma can remember buying the kid a Happy Meal and him being little and cute.
My heart breaks for the stuff my kids go through, I would rather it be me than them. So yeah, I am PO’d about the bad breaks my kids got. She is probably PO’d about the bad breaks this kid got.
The robbee had the right to shoot him. And this is a rotten world. Doesn’t change the fact that her heart is broken for the kid.
I go along with your post except for the “BUT there are no jobs”. That is NO EXCUSE for armed robbery.
And my kids got some bad breaks along the way, but I am not PO’d about that. Life has some bad breaks in it. It is the real world. The “bad breaks” helped them to mature into better people.
“ok, maybe you all are completely without mercy here.”
Sanctimonious much?
If your heart were broken, would you be giving press interviews? I can guarantee I wouldn’t. If I were heart broken, I’d barely be able to speak.
But, oh, no, this granny has to hold a presser and lay out the standard script about his being a good boy turning his life around. Right. What about other mothers, grandmothers, fathers and families who could have been mourning had Davis and his friends killed any of the bar’s patrons?
Lots and lots of people have had ‘bad breaks’ in life. MOST don’t choose to walk armed and masked into a bar, attempting a hold up.
