parents of robber upset that guy had a gun

Um, no, fuck your son.

Yep. Thief rolled the dice and lost, but no one made him roll the dice.

...they don’t think defending the employees at the restaurant with a gun from an armed robber was just.

Emphasis added. Delicious irony present in the original.

A thread about pizza hut shouldn't have the word "delicious" in it.

They really paint their son as the victim and it pisses me off.

The parents said that their son wasn’t doing well financially and had come on hard times and as a result, resorted to crime to provide for his child.

Fuck you. There are tons of government programs to help him and his child. He could have asked the two of you for help. Where's the child's mom? (And aren't you all wondering if he had full custody now? I am.)

The parents added that their son previously worked at the Pizza Hut restaurant that he was attempting to rob and he never would have hurt anyone during the robbery.

Oh yeah, if they knew the guy sticking a gun in their face, they should know he wouldn't kill them.

The mother thinks the shooting may have been personal due to her son’s conflicts with other employees at the restaurant.

Oh wait, they did know him.

How about instead of attacking someone who probably thought they were saving their own life and the lives of their co-workers you instead attack your parenting skills and a culture that has proven, time and time again, that it thinks crime is ok?

Now now... meth dealers can't accept EBT cards (yet).

They can't scan them or contact the government about payment, but they certainly do, and have always, take people's welfare benefits.

But that's work and almost like having a real job.

The technically savvy ones can. The gov't can't be that hard to scam.
