‘Even a criminal has rights’: Dead robbery suspect’s parents angry that store worker shot their son

The parents of a robbery suspect are angry that their son was fatally shot by an employee of the restaurant where the incident took place.

“If there was to be a death, it was not the place of the employee at Pizza Hut,” Temia Hairston told WBTV-TV. “That is the place of law enforcement.”

Police said her son Michael Grace Jr. and two other people tried to rob a Pizza Hut in Charlotte, North Carolina, after midnight Sunday. A restaurant employee used his personal handgun to fatally shoot Grace Jr., the station said; the two other people got away.

Dave T: you break the law and threaten peoples safety, you CAN get shot. That's called people's right to protect themselves. Sorry for your loss.

“This wasn’t a body shot. This was a head shot,” Hairston told WBTV. “My son was shot in the left side of his head just behind his ear. A headshot is personal.”

Better call Hillary. She'll make it safe to rob that pizza hut.

This is where the "victim" mentality leads. You make your choices. You deal with the consequences!

There would have been an even more foolish reaction if a cop had shot him.

You play ....you pay..everyone knows the minute you set out to do wrong, something really bad can happen to you..I'm sure she would still be trying this crap If her son had killed someone instead..they should be hiding in shame.

If the shooter was white they will call it a racist shooting if the shooter was black they will say it was ordered by the white boss.Any way you cut it,it was a racial killing because only black lives matter,hell everybody knows that.
