The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article today with the following headline:<\/p>\n

Parents of slain Pizza Hut<\/a> robber angry that victim used a gun against him<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow.\u00a0 I am sorry that Michael Grace Jr., son of Temia Hairston and Michael Grace Sr., was shot during an attempted robbery<\/a>. But the fact remains that he was shot while committing a crime and possibly endangering someone else’s life.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Hairston and Grace Sr. acknowledged that their son was breaking the law by robbing the business, and said they definitely don\u2019t condone what he did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an act of desperation, but I do not believe that Michael would have hurt anyone,\u201d said Hairston.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That may be true, but the employee had no way of knowing that Michael would not have hurt anyone, and since Michael was committing a robbery, the employee might have been justifiably concerned for his own safety.<\/p>\n

Losing a son is a horrible thing for a parent to go through, but getting angry because he was killed committing a crime does not really make sense. It might make more sense to find a way to help in the community in such a way that fewer children think it is okay to commit crimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
