  2. The family is suing for 10 million dollars. You heard the man say "you're going to have to kill me then" he was committed to victimizing her while knowing she was armed. That man is a hundred percent accountable for his on death. Crap won't stop until cities stop settling out clearly defendable law suits and start demanding people be held to bare for themselves.

  3. People need to go after his family and the lawyer who are trying to sue the police department. Absolutely disgusting and shameful on their part, trying to cash in on a pay day after their piece of shit family member tried taking her gun, she warned that animal that she would kill him. He should have listened and got what he deserved.

  4. What some people don't even realize is that, right before this happened, she went out and saved him! He had a group of hoodlum teenagers, or whatever they were, attempting to accost or attack him or something. She came out and confronted the situation which made them run off. After they ran off, essentially saving him from who knows what would have happened, he then tried to rob her. Essentially "thanks for that … now gimme your gun bitch". Guy really got what was coming to him. Not the brightest bowl in the bowl drawer.
