The dude jumped across the counter. You’re an idiot.

I would counter that by saying, firstly, I have no problem with the store owner doing what he did, especially in today's climate. Obviously criminals seem to think it's open season on retail stores and they know the cops will do even less now than they ever did. The kid jumping over the counter was an act of aggression and he deserves to get wasted at that point as far as I'm concerned.
But I don't think it makes me an idiot to think that the store owner will face some charges over this, especially in today's climate. The only thing that might mitigate it is that the robber doesn't seem to have been a minority, so there's less chance the media will jump all over it.
The Reddit discussion is pretty funny.
