Two men tried to rob a man at an ATM. When the victim fought back, one of the attackers was killed. The father of the robber is angry at the victim?!?

Good for him for fighting back. It must have been a terrifying experience.

If his son was such a hard worker, why did he need to rob someone? Seems dad is in denial and I think the victim deserves a medal.

I feel sorry for the attempted robbery victim. The robbers father is in denial obviously.

This happens with some frequency in Texas where robbers get shot and killed. I think there's a medal we give the defending victim of the robbery.

Good for Texas. Here if you defend yourself and the criminal dies you get charged with manslaughter.
