"The mother of a man who died by retaliatory gunfire is spreading the blame around. Lucille Floyd's son, 20-year-old Brian Floyd, was among the four men who gunned down Officer Thomas Wortham IV when they tried to steal his motorcycle late Wednesday night, police say. Floyd died when Wortham's father, a retired police officer, fired off his gun while trying to defend his son.


For him to shoot them they way he did, in cold blood... because being an officer, I feel like he should have had knowledge of how to hit those children without killing them," Floyd said. For him to shoot them they way he did, in cold blood. because being an officer, I feel like he should have had knowledge of how to hit those children without killing them,"

boo-freaking-hoo.

it never seems to fail. some thug gets arrested and his mom comes out, complaining to the media that her son is an angel who makes the honor roll, is a Boy Scout, helps old ladies with their heavy shopping bags, and rescues kittens from trees. never mind the evidence that often prove otherwise, like their long rap sheet

good for Mr Wortham for shooting the guy. her thug son was part of a group that shot and killed a man. you don't shoot a dangerous suspect in the foot and hope he won't shoot back. and in this case, the poor man may have been reacting more as a grieved father who saw his son get shot down and less like a retired cop.

Too bad the dad didn't kill the other three assailants. What this town needs is more dead criminals.

Shut up, btch.

It makes my blood boil that the media is actually giving this despicable woman (apparently the apple didn't fall far from the tree) a platform to spew her venom. That makes them just as despicable by proxy.

I think the cop's father was justified in shooting the suspect. In a situation like that, you just shoot to protect yourself/family member and are not actually thinking about where you are shooting the suspect. Her son should not have been out there trying to rob someone in the first place. I do not feel sorry for her loosing her son and I think it is very disrespectful to the cop's family for her to even display an outcry like that. The cop, not the suspect, is the innocent individual that was killed.

That idiotic woman must'a watched the Lone Ranger shooting the bad guy's gun out of his hand during her long rigorous days spent watching television.

"Children". WTF?

This woman has spent too many hours on her fat ass watching TV. I don't feel the least bit sorry for you or your dead son. My only wish is that his 3 buddies were all dirt-surfing with him instead of the cop/military veteran that they murdered.

Until the culture of the hood changes, these tradgedies (the cop being killed, not her son) will continue to occur.
