meh. I guess the shooter was supposed to wait for ol' Tamon to shoot the clerk before taking action?

Robber's mother speaks on son's death

Quote:
A Knoxville mother believes charges should be filed against the man who shot and killed her son early Monday.

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.

"I feel like the man should be charged," she told 10News.

...
Stapleton had been in and out of the juvenile system for years, according to records. He was born in April 1997.

"He had a very violent and extensive criminal history as a juvenile," said DeBusk.

In 2011, officers picked him up for aggravated burglary. The following year, he was accused of attempted and aggravated robbery. He was put in the system a half-dozen times in 2011 alone.

Mom probably should have put more effort into keeping her special snowflake out of a life of crime.

I agree with the mother, he should be held accountable.

Would a parade through downtown Knoxville ending with the Mayor giving this guy the key to the city suffice?

Poor little Tampon was just a misunderstood youth

Why am I not surprised?

With a mother like that, it's no wonder her son ended up the way he did and had a "violent and extensive criminal history."

Her son should be entitled to one mistake, shouldn't he? Maybe he was robbing because he was hungry.

I think she should have to pay for the ammo he used.

He is entitled to one mistake and he got his one mistake, unfortunately for HIM and thanks to the shooter he'll not get another...

One less scumbag. The mother should blame herself that she raised a hoodlum.

The shooter should sue the mother for the emotional stress her son caused hm.
