Hooded and jumps counter = full unqualified justification to kill, apparently.

How often do people commit a robbery like that unarmed? I would assume it is extremely rare. I would start with the assumption they are armed, especially when they are robbing the place in what appears to be the middle of the day. Then somebody being brazen enough to jump the counter and start grabbing items with the clerk standing right there. That would further lead me to believe the lack of fear is because they are armed.

I think if somebody presents themselves as a robber like that, that should be a threat enough to justify force. David Dorn went to check on his friend's store alarm and the end result was him shot and killed. If he had the legal right to walk up and start blasting the thieves based on a legally supported assumption of threat by their actions, he would be alive and the world would be a safer place without those thieves.

If this clerk ends up in jail, it is because our laws are too lenient on criminals.
