Police said a good Samaritan stopped an attempted robbery of a person at a nearby Chase bank.

The good Samaritan and the suspect somehow ended up in the Kroger parking lot. The suspect pulled a gun and fired between eight and 12 shots into the good Samaritan's car.

One of the bullets struck a 2-year-old child in the car. Police Chief Cedric Alexander said that boy is the son of the good Samaritan.

I guess a dispatcher should have told him to stay in his car.

Well common sense should have told him that since he didn't have a gun.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)


I am glad he stood up for his fellow citizen.
I hope his child does not suffer the deeds of his father. His father is a hero and this country as a whole needs more Citizens like him. I only pray his son grows up knowing that.
Our nation would not suffer such ills as robbery, rape and murder to the extent we see today if more men and women stood and said "I Will NOT Allow evil to win, I will aide the weak, injured and helpless."
May this not deter those that would help, lest our nation follow even further down this dark path to certain chaos.

May God Bless this father, his son, his wife and the rest of their family and may they find peace and strength in the Knowledge that a single man did make a difference today.


-Amen

But if he had a gun then he might have shot the robber, and he would have been liable because he provoked the confrontation that resulted in the armed robber shooting at him and his kid.

Just using some of the logic from the Trayvon thread.

"We’ve got to get this guy off the streets,” DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said at a press conference Thursday morning at county police headquarters in Tucker.

These two cases are almost exactly the same. In both cases someone was committing a violent felony and a good samaritan stopped them.

Police warrants have been issued for Chazerel Burton, 21, Alexander said. He is wanted on three charges of aggravated assault and one charge of criminal damage - all felony charges, according to a DeKalb County Police Department spokeswoman.
