Who waits till a robber is looking at them and have a gun pointed towards them, to pull a gun out. those people who think like that would be dead.
There should be accountability for any criminal behavior, Murder, Rape, Robbery, Assault, or Theft, no matter if it’s a penny or $100 billion, but how that accountability is implemented is not my call.
Sometimes you are also held accountable for your actions when you are killed.
Then he’s in big trouble - that’s why the dbl hand, that’s why the wait.
He has weighed these from the second that the robber entered - look closely how he has reacted from the minute the robber waltzed in - that’s training.
There was only ever being one shot.
Still a sad and stupid situation - a loss of life for bits of paper some of which fell onto the floor.
Either be armed to protect or to steal - a stark choice - 2 men, one survived the other apparently did not.
In Jersey, a store owner chased the robber out of the store, but stopped and fired six shots at the robber, none of which hit the robber, all six shots went through parked cars or other stores glass in the strip mall
He ended up getting two years in prison for shooting at a distance in a public place. thank goodness no innocent people were hit or killed.
In this case the shooter was reckless and careless
A case in the UK attracted much attention as its so unusual for a robbery victim here to be armed and to have shot a perpetrator.
An unarmed burglar was escaping from the property after being confronted by the home-owner with a shotgun. The burglar was shot in the back and died. The prosecution suggested he had deliberately ambushed the burglars (he had been burgled multiple times previously) and his motivation was not therefore self-defence. The home-owner was found to have used unreasonable force and was convicted of murder, reduced on appeal to manslaughter, for which he served 3 years.
Sound absolutely right. It would only have take a fraction of a second for the perpetrator to swivel round and start shooting to eliminate witnesses or intimidate resistance. Unreasonable to wait until a weapon is raised and pointed.
Analysis is that even if indicted a jury would be reluctant to convict.
On Monday the ME identified the robber who had a criminal record and was on bond (bail) when his death occurred.
Not a good outcome for all concerned.
This thread is about law - I suppose if we adhered to 10 simple laws written back between 16th and 13th century BC things might be different - sounds simple I know.
Inner city gang wars have killed a lot of people, again where are these guns coming from in such large quantities and yes I also blame the young thugs for their behavior
