A good man?

Dead robbery suspect was 'a good man'. There was a minor riot at the hospital he was taken to for treatment when a mob turned up and many of them insisted on entering the hospital to see him. A screaming woman was shown in the hospital ambulance bay, and a crowd of rough looking men of no appearance.

It's all relative, really.

I remember being told about a young bloke who was shot and killed trying to rob a railway station in Sydney. His mum was interviewed and was praising him as a good son, a good kid - he was only 17.

His brothers had both done time for trafficking in drugs, one was still in prison, the other had just finished a good stint. The dead youth had a record as long as your arm for petty crime and lately his crime was getting more serious. He was 17. His mother praised him as a good son. She praised all her boys as good sons.

Unfortunately, he and his brothers were not good citizens.

From Nick and Nora's and the news.

By the sounds of things, shooting one member of this family should be just a start.
