The Gun Counter

"This was the only time," Harrison said. "If I am going to fight it was that one time. He was approaching me and I saw that as him engaging me."

The video shows Williams, gun by his side, walk back toward Harrison, who stands up and fires several shots killing Williams almost instantly.

There's also the inevitable:

"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.

According to DOJ statistics, 73% of convicted robbers have had some sort of violent arrest record. 45% of robbers had some sort of active criminal justice status, either on trial, probation, or awaiting disposition of a court case. This family member is probably full of crap.

More darwinism in action, and a community that owes a commendation to the CCW holder.
As for Williams, think of the life of crime he'll never get to lead, the taxpayers dollars that won't be wasted chasing, convicting, and confining him, and all the people he'll never get to victimize!
And a guaranteed 0% recidivism rate for him to boot!

30 years for the accomplice sounds like a light sentence where a homicide is involved and they were pointing guns and trying to rob people.
LWOP or at least 50 years with a shot at 2 years off for good behavior, would be a far more sensible choice all around.

But, but…he was turning his life around and was an aspiring rapper!!! <sarcasm>

I couldn't see the comments in Firefox, so I had to go to IE to read them (getting started in a few minutes).
