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. 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. “If there was to be a death, it was not the place of the employee at Pizza Hut. That is the place of law enforcement,” said Hairston. “Why in the hell did this guy have a gun?” questioned Hairston about the employee who shot her son. She said her son was shot in the head, and she thinks the shooting may have even been personal, citing past conflicts Grace Jr had had with other employees at the restaurant. “This wasn’t a body shot. This was a head shot. My son was shot in the left side of his head just behind his ear. A headshot is personal,” said Hairston. Hairston said she thinks the employee who shot her son needs to be in jail, and wants all parties involved in the situation to be honest about what happened.

Yeah, nobody should be able to defend themselves from her son when he points a gun at people in an implied threat of deadly force.

What a friggin whiner.

I think we have the start of a movement here: "Thug Lives Matter!" Its demands will be an immediate end to concealed carry and that civilians must comply with all demands from robbers. The social justice warriors on campus will immediately join up. It's for the children, you know.

Judging by her language she's in fucking la la land, I wouldn't look too much into it.

Don't want nuthin? Don't start nuthin.

Don't want nuthin? Don't start nuthin.

Right. She wants to try to say that because of bad blood between dear son and employees of the pizza joint, they should be in trouble for shootimng him when he innocently showed up with a gun to merely rob them. Completely ignoring the glaringly obvious issue of if theres bad blood, sonny was the one that went to them with a gun. Why is she assuming there was no ill intent on his part? Bullfeathers.

Pizza joint guy may in fact have really saved the day in what would have been another "mass shooting" statistic.

The manner of logic and reasoning expressed by that woman is the manifestation of generational entitlement. I first noticed it being voiced about 25 years ago and it’s absolutely pervasive now.

This “code of conduct” is so far removed from the average citizen’s way of thinking that it serves as a huge obstacle in developing the proper mindset for dealing with these criminal malcontents. They look at people that have something they want as low-hanging fruit and they feel no compulsion in taking it by force. When things go wrong (as in this case), they cry foul without reservation with their perverted sense of righteousness.

We had a 3 yr old shot and killed this past week in a daylight home invasion/robbery. The average person cannot fathom the depravity that justifies that sort of thing as simply the price of “doing business”, but that's all it is to them.

Mexico is searching for an exterminating angel. He has no known face or age, yet everyone knows what he has done. At 6am on Monday, he got up from his seat on a passenger bus and deployed his wings of vengeance, killing four robbers who were holding up the vehicle. Sitting in the back, this individual waited for the thieves to take all the passengers’ possessions, then executed them one by one. He then returned all the belongings, stepped off the bus, and disappeared into the night. No witness has stepped up to report him, not even the bus driver. Everyone claims that it was too dark to see his features.
