Pizza Hut Employee Kills Armed Robber
2019-11-13
[BearingArms] The parents of a dead armed robber are very angry over his death, and are demanding to know why his innocent victim was allowed to be armed.
MY son should be allowed to rob anyone at gunpoint without fear of being eliminated!
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.
He was a good boy. He just got in with the wrong crowd.
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.

#11  After reading the parents' nonsense I had to make sure this wasn't a Babylon Bee article...

What a load of tripe. This little thug deserved to be put down like the garbage human being he was, and good riddance too. Although I do feel very sorry for the Pizza Hut employee, who is likely to be fired and potentially even lose future job prospects due to his willingness to fight for his own life. These parents are absolutely disgusting. I felt completely enraged as I realized that they weren't joking, that they actually think their little hooligan didn't deserve to die "just" for armed robbery.

#9  "A head shot is personal," said Hairston.

Could have shot him in the rump, but that would be cheeky.

#8  Bad reporting, the original article didn't mention which city/state this happened in.

After an intense search, I found it happened in Charlotte, North Carolina.

#6  Well, since we can now sue gun manufactures for those who misuse guns can we now sue parents when their 'little precious' commits a felony crime?

Seems like if the criminal is still a minor then suing the parents as having some responsibility is something to consider.

#4  That face... I'd go for the headshot too. Some kind of mongrel wakandan delinquent.

After putting him down, did the hero pizzaiolo also yell;
"You want onion rings with that, motherf↻cker ?!"

In a manner of speaking, yes. Rather forward, even.

#1  Yet another harsh and brutal injustice I care nothing about. File it under Play Stupid Games/Win Stupid Prizes.

OK, I do feel for the Pizza Hut employee who will likely lose his job. But on the plus side, he isn't dead.
