In fact, after this final robbery, he had planned to turn his life around and become a community organizer, but was unjustly frustrated in this heroic endeavor by a crazed citizen not wanting to participate in wealth redistribution.

Gun control - because criminals shouldn’t have to pay for armed robbery with their lives. /s

“He Was A Respectable Boy.” Armed Robber’s Family Claims He Was The Real Victim.

Posted by Bob Owens on April 30, 2014 at 5:11 pm

According to Williams’s cousin, it’s the dead robber that is the real victim:

“I understand he felt threatened by the situation,” McSwain said. “But he said the gun was pointed at him so he fired. In fact he (Williams) was walking out.”

McSwain admits that Williams made a terrible decision the night he died.

“It still puzzles us as to why he would do something so crazy,” said McSwain.

Williams actions were out of character for the Dorman High School senior who his family said had never been in trouble before.

“He was always sharp, always goofy, loved to dance, he was a respectable boy,” McSwain said.

McSwain said her family was disappointed that Harrison wasn’t charged in the shooting and says her family is still considering pursuing other legal action against him.

Both the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office and Seventh Circuit Solicitor’s office cleared Harrison in the shooting.

Tamika McSwain is Williams’ cousin and said more training is needed before someone is given a CWP. McSwain said the video contradicts statements made by Harrison about what happened the night of the robbery, and said if Harrison had been bettered trained he may not have fired the fatal shots.

McSwain said her family was disappointed that Harrison wasn’t charged in the shooting and says her family is still considering pursuing other legal action against him.

But McSwain said her cousin’s death shows that more training is need for CWP holders.

Funny thing, if there had been a plain clothes cop at the Waffle House and he shot the perp, what would “the family be saying?” I don’t like to see anyone die, but you do an armed robbery, you are opening yourself up to getting killed. Glad no one else was hurt. The other thing I’m wondering is how long it’s going to take to run out of armed Black thugs? Seems like there are a half a dozen posts on FR every day. I guess they are slow learners.

If a dozen black robbers are killed nationwide in a day ,it is “an epidemic of gun violence”;if a dozen white people are murdered by black thugs it is just not national news.The darn whites must be disarmed so they will be easier to control.

“The darn whites must be disarmed so they will be easier to control.”

Well, I think actually more and more whites are arming themselves and that will ultimately be “detrimental” to blacks who think that Obama being president gives them some sort of get out of jail free card for committing crimes against us. There are some very hard lessons coming for blacks in the near future unless they change their attitudes toward their fellow men.

We first saw it when progressives were outraged that Trayvon Martin was killed as he attempted to murder George Zimmerman. It will be a theme we will hear more often.
