Maybe the unarmed guy that died wasn't so "stupid" after all.

I sure they the the arrested to both robberies and throw the book at them. Allowing this kind of action to go unchallenged only emboldens these thugs. The merchant having rules to allow the people to leave with their money or merchandise may be good policy for them but isn't so good for society.

We the People need to stand up to the crooks in Washington, DC as well as the crooks in our communities.

Thanks for sharing.

A man that may have been protecting his wife is not one to be called "stupid". Nor is he one that should be blames for the tragic outcome.

Prayers for his family

There are those that are willing and those that aren't. Those that are should not be made out to be the bad guys.

May God bless his family with peace and comfort.

I took it as if he was saying the robberies and shooting was senseless and not necessarily the actions of the good Samaritans. By the way, I am no fan of McManus.

Sad the good guys get blamed for the outcome rather than the actual bad guys. I'm sure they could have done things differently or better but let's not blame them by saying they made things worse. Let's be thankful they were willing to risk their lives for others. There will be time to learn from their mistakes once more info is known.
