While acknowledging Tamon Stapleton, 18, was “in the wrong” when he tried to rob an Asheville Highway convenience store while armed, the unnamed gunman who killed Stapleton should be held accountable, Joy Stapleton said.

Ahhh that whole apple from the tree thing is true. One totally retarded individual spawned another retarded individual.
Maybe if she’d have take as much time to raise her son as she did to do an interview her son would still be alive.
She’s right. He SHOULD be held accountable.
First he should be given some kind of public service medal. Second, he should be paid 10% of what a trial and incarceration for her POS criminal offspring would have cost. If not directly, then provided as a tax credit. Third, a street on her block should be named after the man who protected the community from her POS criminal offspring.
I have zero empathy for her. By believing the man defending his friend is in the wrong, it’s obvious why she never taught her son personal responsibility. She’s partly to blame for her son’s death and I’d tell her so.
A few years ago down here in SC we had every male adult member of three generations of the same family incarcerated at the same time! We offer them $$ to reproduce so they start early and do it often. We offer them $$ not to work. Why would you when you can make more staying home. We have sentencing guidelines that prevent the courts from punishing criminals adequately. This kid had 6-8 run ins with the man and he is only 18. It isn’t hard to understand why these kids turn to crime. We don’t pay them enough!
Joyce Stapleton said he wanted to get out of Knox County, and perhaps go live in Morristown. She said she thought things were about to get better for him.
“I don’t care what they say about Tamon’s juvenile charges, the past is the past,” said Stapleton.
She plans to fight for charges against the shooter, but police say the case is closed.
“If the store clerk would have killed him I would have felt different,” said Stapleton. “But because that man came into the store and killed him as he watched this robbery go on…he was not in danger. He could have dialed 911 and then went in to the store. But he didn’t, he just automatically went into the store and shot my son in the head.”
I don’t know where to start with the above Quote;
I mean, I understand a Mothers Love and everything, but She raised a Thug and put him out on the street to pursue his thuggery.
I’m not sure how, She doesn’t see her own culpability in turning out a criminal and understanding that until he was put down or incarcerated he was a threat to her entire community. And above all Only if her Son would have killed the clerk, should her Son have been shot?? I don’t understand.
There is an entire failed culture of quasi humans out there, they are out for all they can get by cheating, stealing and hurting anyone as long as their needs are fulfilled.
I applaud every time one of these oxygen thieves is put down.
I believe he and the police accounted for all the bullets. The End.
This 100%
Story has a new twist:
KNOXVILLE — The man who fired the shot that killed an armed robbery suspect inside an East Knoxville convenience store earlier this week is a felon with an extensive criminal history, records show.
I don’t expect relatives of a criminal who was killed to be objective, and I’m sick of people giving them air time as if the ramblings of an emotional and grieving relative are somehow relevant and logical.
Typical.
If she loved her son I guess she should have raised him better.
I say the birth givers and sperm donors of these 02 thieves need to be held accountable. They brought their little buddle of joy into the world, if they want to cause a stink how they were killed while committing armed robbery the victims of their children should be able to seek damages from them. So many people hatch children only have them raised by public schools and then the police. But boy howdy do they find the nearest news camera when their “child” is shot while trying to harm others.
So “no charges filed” even though he broke the law by being in possession of a firearm. Personally I’d give him a pass as he went into harms way to defend another. Pretty sad that part of me has to be relieved he’s black. So tired of the race game. Maybe they will invent a new one like “White black”, sorta like “White hispanic.” Is there a “Black hispanic” or are we not allowed to say that?
At any rate, I still think “tax credit” and name a street after him. Seems to be trying to “do the right thing” as Spike is so fond of saying.
I think Rachel Dolezal has already done this with her “identifying” as black via “trans-racial”. :lol:
Wouldn’t she actually be “Black white”?
I don’t know man, I’m so confused . . . :jester:
I don’t know how I missed this yesterday but this post is spot ****'n on.
“Police say Stapleton was robbing the Breadbox store when a friend of the clerk saw what was happening from outside and took action. That action, police say, is…”
