so I'll lead off with... I'm all for the clerk defending his business and anyone who takes part in a felony like the robbery happening here should be responsible for any and all injuries that happen during the commission of that crime... including to themselves

that said...

the (very right wing) lawyers I watch on YouTube think the store clerk could be in some trouble here

they're looking at this from a legal aspect solely

Nick Rekieta... lawyer in Minnesota (the red portion of Minnesota)

quote:

Rekieta Law @RekietaLaw
Possible Unpopular opinion:

This could very well be a murder.

Rekieta Law @RekietaLaw
Importantly, this is a question of LEGAL use of deadly force. Not whether or not the store owner SHOULD be justified.


and then this input from Andrew Branca... who specializes in self-defense law and has literally written the book on the topic

he's responding to Rekieta's tweet of it potentially being a murder...

Looks that way to me, on initial viewing. Busy this weekend, so won't have time to look more closely until Monday.

Looks sketchy on initial view. Where’s the physical threat from thief prior to clerk bringing knife to bear?

Law of Self Defense @LawSelfDefense
I’m on an all-day motorcycle trip Saturday, then other obligations all day Sunday, so I won’t be taking a closer look at this event until Monday at the earliest.

I would hate to see the clerk charged for this... but it all comes down to how Nevada law is written

Like I said earlier, if the guy jumped over the counter and the clerk fired one shot and killed him would that not be self defense.

Unfortunately, with a knife you never know if the other guy is subdued and, if not, does that person have a gun? The person is already committing a felony.

no telling what prosecutor does but do you really want to piss off the asian community?

Maybe stores should take out the cameras.

That way its your word against the dead guy.

Unfortunate for the shop owner he did not have the luxury to review tapes over the weekend to see how he should have reacted.
