NSFW- This (dead) robber took his job a little too casually

[Dennis in MA]

Store owner kept shooting the robber when he was down.

Is the robber in trouble?

Reminds me of when the pharmacist shot the robber coup de gras style.

EDIT:

I meant to say is the store owner in trouble.

I vote good. Guy had a gun still.

What a great ending!!!
Butt nugget got what he had coming to him. Good riddance to another dirt bag!

 

[mikeyp]

I hope it is not a dupe...



:emoji_tiger:

It is indeed MetroPCS employee fatally shoots would-be robber in Philadelphia: Police

That is a very good point and I had not thought of that.

 

[Palladin]

can't wait til his mother and sister hit the TV with 'he didn't do nuffin''

 

[Twigg]

The prep was still moving when he hit the floor. By moving I ment breathing.

good shoot.

 

[Remote Camper]

Good shoot.

Funny first comment "I count 7 shots". I originally counted 14
Imagine the amount of $$ this one clerk saved the US taxpayer in wefare for this looser and ALL of the wasted $$ in welfare for his potential offspring.

So, should we all pitch in and buy him a new box of ammo?
I mean, I think its the least we should do.

 

[namedpipes]

I'm good with the outcome, especially that the clerk is in the clear.

The thief will not reoffend.

 

[KBCraig]

That guy was down and out after 1 shot. Lol. If this guy had been a cop, I bet the comments here would be different.

Well, yeah... a cop would have reloaded and repeated.

 

[fencer]

That guy was down and out after 1 shot. Lol.

Yep. And the way he fell, he took more shots in the ass than Don Lemon during a weekend in the Hamptons.

 

[Dennis in MA]

That is a very good point and I had not thought of that.

Not only did he have the gun, he was "cradling it" beyond view. He might not have been badly shot and spun around to return fire.

Now, given the video - was that even remotely likely? No. But in the moment, with some dude trying to rob your store at gun-point, you don't get the luxury of watching it unfold on a screen with a 60BPM heart rate. At 160BPM in the moment, you do what will save your life first.

Here is what Andrew Banca has to say on the subject...

He brings up a few prior cases of relevance to add perspective.

MAG DUMP! Lawful, or Excessive Force? – Law of Self Defense

Chuck Norris was in the Air Force....

Good Segway to hundreds of Chuck Norris jokes. I will now depart

 

[KBCraig]

During a rather serious discussion about use of deadly force (in an LE training class), my instructor reiterated that you shoot center mass to stop the threat.

"How many shots is too many? When the entrance wound, the exit wound, and the hole in the floor all line up, that's probably one too many."

 

[rocket500]

If the perp has the weapon anywhere in proximity I don’t think there’s a reasonable limit on how many shots are justified. Until you’re 100% convinced there is no more threat.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Justified or not can hinge on a single phrase in post-incident interrogation. This is why you need an attorney present. Another is the attorney (if competent) will not allow an interview until enough time for you to calm down and think straight has returned, and your loggorhea is under control.

 

[AHM]

Either way, I hope he yelled stop resisting drop the gun

FTFY.
