Friday night feel good story
Yeah, I know we already had two today, but this one is worth a glance, too. It’s from Alabama, where Adric White, 18 hadn’t quite turned his life around from an armed robbery at The Original Oyster House a month ago, an escapade from which he was out on bail, young Adric decided he needed some of that big money from Family Dollar, but there popped up a hitch – a good guy with a gun;
The Good Samaritan, who we are not identifying, told FOX10 News he was shopping at the Family Dollar on Stanton road when he noticed a masked gunman leading one of the employees to the front of the store.
“He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” said the man. “I drew my gun on him and I said ‘Hey don’t move.’ At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me I fired. I didn’t want to shoot him.”
The family of young Adric doesn’t think much of the good guy’s intervention;
“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him – what gives him the right to think that it’s okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”
Um, that’s the definition of a Good Samaritan, isn’t it? Doing things for other people even though it might be hazardous to your own well-being.

Yeah, because just walking away from that situation is going to make life so much better. Then if your “baby boy” had shot that store clerk, the Good Samaratin could have been charged as an accessory.
What is this world coming to?
Wish we had more of these guys in CA. Getting a permit here is often nigh on impossible. It’d definitely cut back on the ol’ crime problem, but to get one, you have to show legitimate reason. And that’s very hard. In the entire city of San Francisco, for example, there are two issued concealed carry permits. There are 700,000 people living in the city. Figures.
It’s the attitude of the relatives that show where this punk got his lessons in life.
Adric is screwed up because his parents are screwed up.
His Mom has probabbly spent his whole life telling him how it’s everybody else’s fault.
SHE is the reason he got shot.
The shitbag relative said:
“If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had a gun up to him, if no one pointed a gun at him – what gives him the right to think that it’s okay to just shoot someone?” said the relative. “You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever.”
If if it was you on your knees and a gun to your empty dome that would be a perfect call….
Yeah. That’s it. Get in your whatever and pretend it doesn’t matter. Because, you know, like it’s just human life and stuff.
Riiiiiiiight.
Fo’ Shizzle! Pretty pathetic when you commit an armed robbery at a dollar store.
I’m guessing the relative is thankful tonight that wasn’t him robbing the store.
Dear idiot relative, I leave you with the words of Robert Heinlein:
“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.”
@5 As sure as the sun rises in the morning, the relatives of these dirtbags can be relied upon to make statements like these. They’re setting themselves up for the civil suit to come.
The Good Samaritan? He be ray ciss fo chuting dat boy watt wuz juz turnin he life ’round! Why, he…he, he hadda git some a dem Obama dolla’s so…so…he could give ’em to baby mama, too!
/sarc off
Ah, the Kitty Genovese syndrome is now a social requirement in some circles, eh? (Speaking of Kitty Genovese, her murderer, Winston Moseley, is alive, is 78 years old, and was just denied parole for the 16th time.)
Streets, you speak ghetto pretty good.
To bad that Adric is now forcing the taxpayers to pay for his health care.
For Adric’s brotha, or brother, whichever, I leave you this quote, “Life is hard, it’s harder if you’re stupid”.
Basically the family is saying the same thing so often said after someone commits a crime and it backfires on them:
“My baby didn’t hurt nobody, he’s a good boy, he’s always been a good boy, he ain’t hurt nobody ever.”
I think this is one for the America’s Dumbest Criminals show for sure. Not necessarily top 5, but top 10 for sure.
It never ceases to amaze me how the guilty are always innocent, when you have the correct skin color.
What PintoNag said.
Too bad the little snowflake didn’t end up at room temperature.
@#11. Good, Moseley deserves to rot there, until they carry his carcass out on a stretcher.
