Mitchell Erickson’s fingers began dialing 911 last week before he had a chance to even consider alternatives, when two black teenagers who looked to be 15, at most, cornered him outside his home a block away from the park.
One of the boys pointed a gun at Mr. Erickson’s chest, demanding his car keys.
Flustered, Mr. Erickson handed over a set, but it turned out to be house keys. The teenagers got frustrated and ran off, then stole a different car down the street.
Mr. Erickson said later that he would not cooperate with prosecutors in a case against the boys. After the altercation, he realized that if there was anything he wanted, it was to offer them help. But he still felt it had been right to call the authorities because there was a gun involved.
Two days after an initial conversation, his position had evolved. “Been thinking more about it,” he wrote in a text message. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”
Mitchell Erickson needs to off himself
Mr. Erickson contributed to crime because he puts them back out on the street to continue threatening civilians lives.
They pulled a gun on him, tried to steal his car and the moron is sorry he called the cops. I can’t even process that much idiocy all ay once.
can’t fix stupid
Mr. Erickson must be a moron because it’s illogical with he’s thinking
Must be a LOVELY neighborhood!!
Mr Erickson:
Make your own funeral arrangements.
You won’t last much longer.
Real live ‘Camp of the Saints’
Stupid is as stupid does.
