Basically from what I gathered from that report was he was really fucked up in the head, and if anything this should be a case to push for more/better mental health options and try to teach people it's not taboo. But who the fuck am i kidding, ban the guns and video games kids, those are the real demons....

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The family of a suspected thief is lashing out after their son was shot during an armed robbery.

Relatives of Adric White, 18, believe the Good Samaritan who opened fire should have “just left the store.”

FOX10 spoke exclusively with a customer who stepped in to rescue employees held at gunpoint Tuesday, November 12.

The Good Samaritan, who we are not identifying, told FOX10 News he was shopping at the Family Dollar on Stanton road when he noticed a masked gunman leading one of the employees to the front of the store.

“He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” said the man. “I drew my gun on him and I said 'Hey don't move.' At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”

White was transported to USA Medical Center, where he remains in police custody.

A family member who did not want to be identified said White should have never been shot to begin with.

“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him - what gives him the right to think that it's okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”

FOX10 had interviewed White’s parents but they later called and demanded the video not be aired.

Court records show that White was out on bond for robbing The Original Oyster House at gunpoint a little more than a month before the Family Dollar robbery.

We asked one relative her thoughts about the accusations.

“We don't know. Like I said, we don't know anything. We only know what we've been hearing second hand through the news. I would not like to comment because I don't know,” she said.

Records show the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office has now filed to have White’s original bond revoked.

Relatives said they have not been able to see the teen at USA Medical Center since he remains in police custody.

Meanwhile, Mobile Police have also arrested 19-year-old Tavoris Moss as an accomplice to the Family Dollar robbery.

Police maintain that the Good Samaritan who opened fire was justified and broke no laws.

Wow, sounds like the guy just saved someone mere moments away from being executed. Defense of others done right.

**Suvhater** · 2013-11-29 15:09

I would have left the store just because of the poor customer service.

**Melena** · 2013-11-29 18:45

Damn, too bad the punk didn't die. He sounds like a real valuable asset to the community with only two arrests for armed robbery before the age of 19.

**Moss** · 2013-11-29 19:15

This would be a situation where it is absolutely warranted to open fire

Murder from automatic weapons in the history of ever in the US is near non-existent, yet my town manages to fuck it up.

Grants Pass man sentenced to six years in prison for accidental killing of 5-year-old girl

Shooter was sentenced Wednesday to six years of prison for killing the five-year old. Pleaded out to 2nd degree manslaughter, 3rd degree assault (mother that was also shot in the arm), unlawful possession of a machine gun, and delivery of methamphetamine.

Weapon was an SKS that had the sear ground down allowing it to slam-fire. He was apparently using it as a crutch, weapon initially ND from the butt being struck against the ground, and proceeded to slam-fire the entire magazine through the ceiling.

NYPD shot at a mentally disturbed, unarmed man who was lurching through traffic in Times Square. They ended up wounding a bunch of bystanders. So the DA charged the disturbed man with a felony because his conduct resulted in police officers shooting passersby. He faces 25 years in prison.

^ Wow. What the fuck.

**Meresgi** · 2013-12-09 11:07

Apparently they skipped the class on guns that says "Never fucking shoot unless you are certain to hit the target. And never fire when there is even a chance of hitting anything nearby"

I thought the first class they skipped was the one that said "never fucking shoot people that pose ZERO threat to yourself or others"...

Well, there's like 9 million people in a single city, that's lots of opportunities for fuckups.

NEW YORK CITY POLICE FOUNDATION — NEW YORK
Beginning in 2010, JPMorgan Chase donated technology, time and resources valued at $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation, including 1,000 new patrol car laptops. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sent CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon a note expressing "profound gratitude" for the company's donation.
"These officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe," Dimon said. "We're incredibly proud to help them build this program and let them know how much we value their hard work."
