I will always be sympathetic to any parent who loses a child no matter what the circumstances, and this teen had mental issues he was contending with; but she knew he was committing crimes by acknowledging he was "bringing home money when he didn't have a job" and she shouldn't criticize the man who was legally defending his family and others. He was not the one that put them in that situation, her son was.
In fact, she should consider the mental anguish that man is going through for having to end the life of a teenager. He didn't choose to be put into that position, nor did he want to be put in that position; but because of the actions of her son, he was. He did what he had to do.
Lastly, she doesn't realize it doesn't matter if a firearm is loaded or not if it is used in the commission of a crime.
Again, I can't imagine the pain she is going through; but it is misdirected at the law-abiding citizen who risked his life to protect others. That man is a hero, and his actions are not questionable. Unfortunately, her son's were; but she fails to realize and/or acknowledge it.
As for KSAT12, thank you for demonstrating why there is such a disregard for what the media considers "news" these days! This is horrible journalism and reeks of a liberal political agenda. Now I know why I and many others no longer watch your local news anymore, it is such stories as these that have lost all credibility you might have once had!
Cheers! M2
