Thank you Derrick Lamont Gregory. You just became a poster child for the death penalty.
When you get sentenced to two life terms for gunning down your former restaurant co-workers, most folks would at least fake some remorse. Not Gregory.
“I felt that what I did was right, although it was wrong. I was disrespected.”
Gregory said he felt he had been wronged because he was fired a month after he had been hired and coworkers at the restaurant allegedly teased him because he was autistic.
The family members of the victims were visibly upset and stormed out of the courtroom after Gregory’s statement.
Gregory was fired from Moe’s two weeks before the shooting. He said in court that his goal was to kill the managers and another employee who he felt wronged him.
See, Mecklenburg County has fallen so far out of the First World that we actually have nearly tribal honor killings on a regular basis. Usually it involves one violent repeat offender killing another. What the Moe’s murders have done is give South Charlotte and Dilworth a good, close look at the formless, murderous rage that walks the city’s streets.
