South Carolina (AP/The State.com) – Spartanburg County sheriff’s deputies have charged a man with robbery in a botched holdup at a local Waffle House that left another suspect dead.
This guy always nails it, when he comments on stories like these. I gotta meet this guy!
Dante Lamont Williams – Birthday Boy!
Lt. Tony Ivey says 29-year-old Kenneth Jowan Craig was arrested late Saturday night and charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Investigators say Craig and 19-year-old Dante Lamont Williams tried to rob the restaurant early Saturday morning. A customer with a concealed weapons permit drew his gun and told the men to wait for sheriff’s deputies to arrive.
Ivey says Williams pointed his gun at the customer, who shot and killed him. Craig is currently being held at the Spartanburg County jail. Bond had not been set by Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t immediately clear if he has a lawyer.

This is just one of the many reasons why our founding fathers decided to arm the people; because if you’re unarmed, you’re prey to assholes like these. You can’t always count on the police, folks; when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
According to the video above, Williams was killed on his birthday. Hope it was worth it, guy. Let this be a lesson to you idiots out there, who think you can get away with something like this; the next person you try to rob might just be better with the iron, than you are!
19-years-old, this guy. 19-years-old, with his whole life ahead of him. This is why you have to bring your kids up right, America. By 29, Craig was already a lost cause, but Williams was only 19. That’s not too far out of the nest, providing he had even left the nest, that is. If you want to play with guns, then join the Army, kids!

yeah really is a shame. I knew Dante fairly well but never would of guessed he would do anything like this. Just a good kid around the wrong people. He made a terrible choice of doing what he did and hate to see such a good guy go out like this. I’m truely shocked that any of this happened. R.I.P. Dante you will be missed

Hi Keaton, thanks for posting. Dante was a good kid who just hung around the wrong people? I appreciate that you knew him, but get real; good guys don’t pick up a gun and go into somewhere to go rob. He also pointed his gun at someone, according to the story. Terrible choice? Yes, you’re absolutely right.
How many more kids are out there, thinking this sort of thing is cool? I hope those kids get a good look at this story, and think long and hard about their actions. Prison and street cred might not be what they’ll end up with.
It’s amazing to me, how everybody out there, who does evil and wrongs their fellow man, was a “good guy.”

Not a good kid. I don’t give two shits what you believe. Good kids don’t point guns at people. This oxygen thief got a well deserved dirt nap and the world is a better place without him.

Hi Mukin, thanks for posting.
Mukin, consider this your first and last warning; direct personal attacks on readers will not be tolerated. I am a firm supporter of the 1st Amendment and your right to free speech, but name-calling, even with as poorly spelled as it can be at times is not acceptable.
If you have a differing opinion or other facts which will refute the story, then by all means feel free to share. Otherwise, take the trash talk elsewhere.

Good morning Keondre, thanks for posting. I’m sorry for your loss, 19 is too young. Are you telling me that the official story is wrong? I’m all ears, let’s hear your side.

Then you are obviously lying. What makes you think anyone would believe your bullshit. You’d better think seriously about following in your asshole brother’s footsteps unless you want to get ventilated too.
