[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Just watched it. 5 of the shots were when he was already on the ground. The last one was a point blank execution.

I've got no problem with the dude stopping a robbery, but he went way too far. There's no good guy with a gun or hero here.

The fist five were for the customers. The last one was for the taxpayers.

When the shooter took the ninth shot, the guy was on the ground and unarmed. He summarily executed the guy.
Little to zero chance for retaliation that way. Shoot to kill

Despite being a gun owner and large advocate for the right to self defense, those last shots I feel will put him in murky waters.

Apparently the customer left the scene before the police got there which was not so good to do but according to Reddit he has gotten in contact with the police with an attorney.

In most places that aren't texas, shooting someone in the back or a fleeing person turns from self defense to murder. Shooting someone in the head when they're already on the ground is an execution and should be considered murder everywhere

CE is too damn old and been around each other for too long to struggle with nuanced conversations like this.

you can think

the robber got what was coming to him
the old man was excessive
based on how fucking dumb this was the robber didnt deserve to die.

Didnt deserve to die, and earned it can both apply concurrently. Hes walking around aiming a fake gun at people. Theres no reason to blame someone even for shooting them in the back. Does someone deserve to die for holding up a fast food place with a fake gun? Of course not. But its 100% his own fault and theres nobody to blame but himself. The person who shot the robber doesnt deserve to be punished even slightly for shooting someone with what he thought was a gun in an active robber/hostage scenario especially when hes walking around aiming the thing at everyone

WHEN HE TOOK THE LAST SHOT THE ROBBER DID NOT HAVE A WEAPON. That is not self-defense, it is an execution, and is not legal or morally right.

He would have already been dead at that point so no execution.

Nope.

If someone jumps off a building and as they are falling, you shoot them in the head, you are legally guilty of murder, even though the fall would have killed them. That's what the law says.

He was holding the gun when the hostage pulled out their own gun and aimed at the robber in that video on the news page

im not about to watch some dark web video of a guy dying, so lets just say the robber does drop his gun after getting shot and then the hostage shoots a few more times until the robber dies. was the hostage supposed to just gamble his and others lives that the robber wouldnt reach for their gun and fire back in desperation?

the fact that its in the back is irrelevant because the hostage is not a trained soldier and was just defending himself

Yeah my grandad always taught me double tap not quadruple tap.

Not saying dude is in the right but people have survived more shots than that. One guy sorta built his rap fame around it.

Saying one instance for this is like saying isolated incident for when a cop kills someone. Difference being the media is quicker to jump all over one story. Usually it's home defense but I've seen several stories they just never get quite the attention

Does remind me of a video I thought was funny. Yeah it was pure overkill but idiot deserved it. Walked into a gun store waving a gun to do a robbery. Everyone in the store shot him iirc one was a little old lady.

Its still worth pointing out that, in a number of reported home invasion kills, the home owners completely emptied their clips without even realizing it. Most people dont have Rittenhouse-level trigger discipline. Thats why so many people rushed to his defense early on.

Having fired guns numerous times I think I'd have some discipline. I think I'd be too scared to hit things that aren't my target to fire anymore than I gotta.

On the other hand in a home invasion? Fuck em I don't feel sorry for them. That's the kinda thing that can mentally scar a person cause now they won't feel safe in their own damn home

I wonder if the dude could argue the last shot was putting him out of his misery. I know 50 Cent survived 9 nine shots but surely they weren't all to the torso like this dude. The guy was almost certainly gonna have a very painful last few minutes on earth before bleeding out.

Of course it looks like an execution and complete overkill though.

Even so, is there some kind of leeway given to the fact it's an incredibly intense situation where you'd imagine clarity of judgement is hard to maintain? I have no idea what would be going through my head but I'm not good under pressure at the best times

Damn at first I was 100% percent on the shooter's side and still mostly am but he made some big mistakes in the heat of the moment. Going for a kill shot when he was already grounded, throwing what was left of his drink on him, and leaving before the cops arrived all look really bad when combined together. I still hope the court understands that the shooter was initially well intentioned and did what he did to protect others but it doesn't look good. Also I get the mom is grieving but to try and say "He isn't the monster they think he is." isn't really rational considering his criminal history.
