I'm sure this will happen alot more. Ppl are getting sick of the lawlessness and they know the police can't help.
This is good news finally innocent people fighting back .
Thats what we have to do.. stand our ground and defend ourselves with deadly force
Well the robber has a criminal records, this is too hard to defend from any point of view, he messed with the wrong guys
The family just needs to carry that L, hurts but thats the individual you raised. 🤷🏾♂️
really disturbing how they don't even feel shame. unless they are saying this to set up a lawsuit
Not to sound cruel but, this is what happens when District Attorneys don't prosecute criminals and keep them in prison where they belong people will start taking the Law into their own hands!
His cousin was like why didn't they just hold him down so he can be back out on the street robbing someone else in the future. Sorry play stupid game win stupid prizes🤷♀️
ABCNY7 garbage coverage of criminal is a victim
Call an ambulance! But not for me…
Maybe he shouldn't be robbing people? God Knows if he killed others himself but never got caught? God know how Many people the robbery suspect has hurt? I say don't investigate. His family claims foul, I claim foul on his family not helping him more and keeping him off the streets with Family tough love. I know its not easy, but tie him down in the basement for a month.
People are fighting back and people are getting armed in NYC and NYS, not to mention all 50 States, You will hear of more dead criminals in the days, weeks, Months and Years to come. The people have had enough.
Pretty sure those 2 guys are clean from criminal record and drug use , and never been involved in a situation like that,
The gut is a repeat offender and they still investigating.
When police had encounter with people holding a phone that they said look like gun
We had seens the results
I want to see when people with license to have a gun see themselves in this postion.
He has a robbery on record . U cant imagine him doin tbat ? FOH
We all know our family members and who's into what. If they're out there being a menace to society, then in the words of Drago: if he dies, he dies.
What's going on with today's yoots.
Did dude is lost. He’s still in denial
I love stories like this. People are tired of being victims.
Amazing how this criminal is being defended 🤣it’s because he’s white
Hold the guy down that has a gun until cops arrived what this old punk talking about
That guy was a THUG. And the heros saved us from court fees and tax money spent!
bidens America
If the robber is dead, isn't this a good thing?
Is this a bad joke?
Shedding no tears here. May have still been breathing if he had the balls to go work for his money instead of trying to take someone else's. Typical case of street justice.
Haaaaaaa poor criminal 😢😢😢😢
His only crime was that he was white. Nobody cares about him. If he were black and he died, the whole country would be in protest of BLM and more racism killings and Charli D'Amelio would change her TikTok profile pic back to BLM.
The interview was with the thief relative, what great reporting
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
It don’t make sense bc—this time—victims aren’t whyte 😢
Wait is this guy protecting the robber? We living in a twilight zone.
Hm?
He got what he deserved haha
I couldn’t imagine him doing anything like that. He was a good kid. He was going for his masters in robbernomics
The way you choose to LIVE your life,, is the WAY you will DIE. Plain and simple.
He got what he deserved. He will not be robbing any one else. Good riddance.
Got what he deserved
If he tried to rob them & got killed then fine. No story here.
George, think you need to Google the meaning of self defense.
You do the crime….. gotta pay the price. Sucks to be him.
Now watch Alvin Bragg lock those guys who defended themselves to jail cause Bragg loves criminals
These fools protecting criminals..shut up fool!!!
