What a great guy.
It's too bad that the gang filth and scum has taken over that area. He did the right thing by closing the shop but it's pathetic and sad that he had to in the first place.
A good man for sure. He saved lives by removing those vermin from the planet.
What a crazy story. A majority of people walk this earth and are never confronted by an armed thug. Nevermind two, three, four, five times!
Open a little storefront containing maybe a few hundred thousand dollars in highly portable merchandise and you may be visited buy the rainbow coalition from time to time. It's just another way to "spread the wealth around".

Just giving him what he wanted doesn't guarantee that he still wouldn't kill him.
But force, or a declared design of force, upon the person of another, where there is no common superior on earth to appeal to for relief, is the state of war: and it is the want of such an appeal gives a man the right of war even against an aggressor, tho' he be in society and a fellow subject. Thus a thief, whom I cannot harm, but by appeal to the law, for having stolen all that I am worth, I may kill, when he sets on me to rob me but of my horse or coat; because the law, which was made for my preservation, where it cannot interpose to secure my life from present force, which, if lost, is capable of no reparation, permits me my own defence, and the right of war, a liberty to kill the aggressor, because the aggressor allows not time to appeal to our common judge, nor the decision of the law, for remedy in a case where the mischief may be irreparable. Want of a common judge with authority, puts all men in a state of nature: force without right, upon a man's person, makes a state of war, both where there is, and is not, a common judge.
