Hypothetical: thugs are stealing your car; you walk out with a nine and unload. Who goes to jail?

Make damned sure the robber never gets to hire a lawyer.

Probably because he's still in the hospital. Hopefully they will charge and not just release per usual.

It is ridiculous, however, that the employee is being held in custody.

Who, after being shot, runs back in to get the bag he dropped?

Sucky situation. Much as we hate crime, it’s never been morally or legally justifiable to try to kill someone for stealing. Whether punching through a barrier to steal some merchandise from a Walgreens or a glass case to steal some jewelry from a jewelry store, it’s not, in that moment, a threat of death or injury to someone. If the employee had moved to physically prevent the theft and the thief then threatened the employee, the analysis would be different.

BS!

Sometimes stealing a person's car or other personal property is in effect killing the person who owns that property since the person can no longer do the work necessary to provide for themselves.

That's why in the past a horse thief was hung and looters were shot.

Well the problem with that is that you are waiting for the thug to use deadly force, at which time it’s too late. If thug is bashing a case violently then how do you know he isn’t fixing to use deadly force? You don’t, therefore it’s appropriate self defense to take action.

The law in DV cases completely follow this logic. A man can put his fist through a wall and be charged with DV, even though he hasn’t touched the woman.

Should have blown him away before he had an opportunity to leave, then return for his bag.

Dead on the spot, end the guesswork.

Nine bullets make them count.

why couldn't the store owner have just waited until he pulled a weapon and shot at him first?

why couldn't he just shoot a warning shot into the air?

:insert video of store employee complying with robber then being shot to death 30 seconds later:

3+ decades ago I was involved in an altercation and I placed 3 small caliber rounds in the leg/knee of the aggressor.
After the formalities with local LEO the officer provided sound advice.

Well that's not hard. You go to jail and they go to jail.

My cousin is a police officer. He told me the same thing. Said if you ever have to shoot someone make sure you kill them as a "dead man can't talk".

It's upside down and crazy that a criminal in the process of committing robbery somehow should be protected by the law. He put himself in that position, the employee didn't go looking for him.

Another epically stupid comment. Your mental health condition is noted, seek professional help immediately. If someone is willing to steal in public in front of employees then what other illegal actions is he willing to take? Biden voting moron.
