This attitude is a huge problem in our society
Wearing a mask and armed with a gun, 18-year-old Adric White entered and was in the process of robbing a Family Dollar when a man who was concealed carrying just happened to walk by. The man who prefers to remain unidentified said he saw a masked man inside Family Dollar holding a gun at a kneeling employees head.
He stepped inside the store and ordered Adric White not to move but instead Adric spun around and the man, scared for his life, opened fire on Adric. From usworldreport.com
Knowing that seconds can count when police are minutes away, the Good Samaritan entered the store and told the criminal not to move, his own firearm out and pointed at the robber. Instead of doing what he was told, the robber spun around to face the Good Samaritan, which earned him five well placed bullets. Adric survived the shooting.
Adric’s family got involved, but not in the way most would like to think. Instead of giving a wounded Adric the speech about crime and consequences, and how lucky he was to survive, the family turned against the Good Samaritan, arguing that if the customer’s life wasn’t immediately in danger, he should have left the store and do nothing. That he should have minded his own business.
Most law-abiding Americans already know the flaws such arrogance can develop. When a man decides to take things that do not belong to him, especially under the threat of a weapon, it’s not an unreasonable assumption that the robber would also take the life of the person he is stealing from. Pointing a gun at anyone while instigating a crime is a threat to life, which is defensible by anyone, including bystanders.
The media is respecting the Good Samaritan’s desire to remain anonymous, a man who has been legally conceal carrying his firearm for the last four years. This was the first time he needed to use his weapon in defense of another, which is his civic duty that he takes seriously. He expressed remorse, saying that he really didn’t wish to shoot anybody. When the lives of the innocent are at stake, he stepped up and did the right thing. To those employees and the rest of the community, the Good Samaritan is actually a hero for not running away.
Poor baby Adric White’s Mother said, talking about the good samaritan who came along, “What gives him the right to think that it’s ok to just shoot someone?” … Uh–The Law? And the police and judge handling the case?! Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree here for blaming a man who did the right thing over your son who was 
still in trouble for his first armed burglary when he decided to go out and rob again… It’s no wonder he wasn’t killed for being such a brainless idiot.
It sounds like his mother, an enabling, whiney moron, needs a lesson in law. And parenting…
I really do believe this attitude held by Adric White’s mother and family is exactly what’s wrong with our society right now. We have a society that actually thinks they are justified by defending criminals, despite what the law and common sense says.
If this was my son and he made these horrible choices I would be extremely sad and angered. I would tell him that if I was in the good samaritan’s shoes and I had seen an armed and life-threatening robbery taking place I would have done the same exact thing.
We don’t need more people to jump on the criminal-enabling bandwagon, we don’t need people babying the problem we have with thugs and gangsters… We need people to call things what they are and take ownership and responsibility for theirs and their children’s actions.
