The law hasn't suddenly spring up like a dandelion from a crack in the concrete after a rainy weekend. It's evolved over thousands of years from millions of different individual tests of circumstance. It's time tested. When it does need changing we have an involved system to do so.
It's centered upon what a reasonable person would do. Using deadly force against an unarmed thief, stealing $40 of product, who is running away isn't reasonable.
This lady had options. She could have installed security cameras she trusted. She could have installed a magnetic door lock accessible from behind the counter. She could have gotten commercial insurance.
Idiotic. She's out $40. If you genuinely feel like that you have no business carrying in public.
This isn't BLM rioters throwing Molotov ####tails in your neighborhood. It's petty theft.
Nashville liquor store owner, 88, explains why she shot shoplifter.

Stealing is a conscious act, you have to choose to steal, and in that choice you choose to live, or die, with the consequences of said choice.dwells40, TokyoJoe, AModelCat and 1 other person Thank this. -
Thief shot in the back is no different than a thief shot in the chest.
Either way it's a dead thief that won't do it again.
Justice needs to be returned to the lawless concrete jungles. -
Why not ban that person from the store? Even if it was legal to shoot someone for theft in a store, I don’t think anything in that store is worth so much so as to warrant a bullet.
buddyd157 Thanks this. -
believe me, i've been at the local CVS store and seen little tykes grab the candy..
blow them away.??
what about kleptomaniacs. they cannot control thier sickness...blow them away..??
one has to choose thier battles wisely.
yes, everything has a cost attached to it, from the time it left the factory.
stolen items only go to increase the cost for replacement to the store, then to the customers.
but to shoot someone running away, amounts to murder, assault charges, and civil lawsuits.
would that $1.50 candy bar really be worth YOUR time, money, defending your actions..????bigguns, gentleroger and PE_T Thank this. -
I don't think any of that is worth much, at least to me.
It's not mine nor your job to decide how much someone's work is worth. If they feel it's worth shooting a criminal over, that's their decision.Last edited: Jun 27, 2020
