QUESTION - Where did he get the Gun, ..... Al Sharpton ? Amerson, who had recently been released from a federal prison after serving nearly 25 years for armed robbery, had shot himself and was pronounced dead at the scene. Amerson’s family, who had seen him just hours prior to the robbery, was shocked to discover what had occurred, as he showed no indication of the events that were to follow. “What happened, what started all this chaos, what brought on this confusion, only God knows,” Amerson’s fiancée, Carolyn said. “I am just dumbfounded, I’m just floored. Words cannot explain or express how I feel right now.” Amerson’s family did not indicate what may have prompted him to rob the bank then take his own life, nor what he may have meant by his “blame this on George Zimmerman” remark. However, the fact that Amerson spent over two decades in a federal prison only to emerge with the same criminal behavior that he was originally being punished for in the first place raises questions as to the effectiveness of our penal system. Is it an indication that either the system is broke, that some people just can’t be helped, or perhaps a bit of both?
