A father doing all he can to save his sick child from dying. He would probably go to jail when caught but he would still be happy d child is alive.

This does not justify the crime..

If he had gone to any pharmacy and explained this way, am sure 90% would give him free prescription for his sick child.

.. what if someone had a panic attack seeing a gun wielding thief or an encounter with a lone gun carrier.

So we should all go carrying guns and leaving notes at every restaurant and service centers..

Captainrambo2:

Was it a revolver ? Or a glock?


Was it a rifle? :

The store clerk can be seen scanning the item and putting it in a plastic bag. Then, according to a police statement on the screen before the video is played, the man handed a note to the employee that read in part,

“Give me all the money. I’m sorry, I have a sick child. You have 15 seconds.”

The video shows the suspect reach into his pocket and lean over the counter before the clerk opened the register and put an undetermined amount of cash into the same plastic bag.

Might be a pocket knife. Maybe there is not even a gun there. I remembered watching a chase on Sony Max. The old man reached into his pocket when the police told him "hands up!"

They shot him only to discover that he wanted to take out his inhaler.

So, it has become something of a warning to reach into your pockets. It doesn't mean there is a gun there.

When the police stop you, they request to see both hands.. why run or hide your hands when you are already a suspect if you are not actually a suspect of maybe another crime.

BluntBoy:


Well, I was just trying to let you know that reaching into one's pocket does not mean there is a gun there.

He could also take the child to the emergency room or offer the child up to foster care if he can’t take care of the child. Which one do you think will be good for the society compared to what he did?

Esseite:


Yes... because being in jail would provide future care the child needs, while the stolen drugs would last through the jail period.
