It's amazing how many of you don't understand the law of when and how to use deadly force. Too many of you are simple minded mouth breathers, and should get off the internet.

There's not enough info in a 5 second clip.

Did they have weapons?

Did they threaten him?

Had they been there before?

Maybe they said they would come back and kill him.
 Quoting: anon_cow


Jumping the counter is threat of violence. Any type of invasion of an occupied space is assumed intent of violence.
 Quoting: Weyoun


If I may, jumping the counter IS violence.

It is a reckless disregard for someone else's private and personal space with ill intention. It cannot be interpreted in any other manner. The degree of their ill intention cannot be known beforehand. So, it is best to assume the worst and defend yourself in any manner available to you, imo.

As for the store owner, NOT GUILTY.

Look, I get it, crime is totally out of control and even worse, it's intentionally being allowed to be.

However, this one just really doesn't sit well. Maybe it's the innocence & fear in the perp's voice as he exclaims, "I'm dead..." but really not feeling like this needed to go down like that. Fucking tragic all around for this country. verysad

What do y'all think?


 Quoting: J-Bird


"Doesn't sit well"? Are you insane? Maybe it shouldn't "sit well" with you when a robber jumps over the counter at a store, especially considering so many store employees get killed in these robberies. Would it sit better with you if the Asian had been murdered in a robbery?

If I was on the jury he is getting off. Robbery should give everyone the ability to fight them off how ever they feel necessary. If that means with their fists.. a rock, knife, gun or flame thrower it shouldn't matter.

I will not be part of a society that vilifies civilians for fighting criminals off in the heat of the moment

Hahahahaha

hard to say how this ends up in the courts. the stabber advanced on the stabbie and started stabbing the stabbie that didn't have a weapon in his hands that I could see

robber definitely fucked up that's for sure and beyond dispute but I'd need to be convinced that the stabber was in fear for his life thus justifying the use of deadly force upon the stabbie

I'm on the fence with this

in the final analysis the stabber was at work trying to earn a living when his life was forever changed by a would be robber

push come to shove I'd side with the stabber but wouldn't feel great about it

no haha's on this one

That dude is going away for that. Excessive force for the situation unfortunately for him.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34126169


That’s just your opinion and would not be worth anything at trial. He used necessary force and saved his own life in the process. There is no reason for him to serve any time. It would be nearly impossible for a jury to convict given the facts that we see here. That clerk is lucky to be alive, it was definitely a heroic deed that he performed that day. He saved others from being harmed or killed.

Any type of forced entry or invasion, deadly threat/intent is present by default. Especially in a case where the invader knowingly invades an occupied space, there is for sure violent intent. The shop owner reasonably feared for his life and reacted justifiably.

If someone is not assaulting you with lethal force, I don't believe lethal force should be used.

If I was on a jury, that store keeper would be found guilty.

If the thief was threatening the shop keeper with a deadly weapon then it would be a different verdict.

 Quoting: Justsayno


the minute that "robber" jumped the counter it changed for me as it threatened the worker's life with a 2on1.

He did not ask for the robbers to come in there and rob the store - they made a shitty choice.

And yes, the video is rough because you can completely hear the regret and fear in the dead guy's voice, but had he not been a shitty human trying to rob a store, it wouldn't have ever happened to begin with. I am 100% with the employee every time in this situation.

In fact, I actually feel bad for the asian guy because he has to live with this shit daily for the rest of his life because those robbers forced him into this situation.

Re: Store Owner Stabs Thief To Death -- Gonna Need Some Opinions On This One...
you can't attack someone with a deadly weapon because they try to steal ur shit. the guy who jumped the counter didn't even look at the employee, he went straight for the goods. He only threw 1 punch after being stabbed 3 times.

The last 2 stabs were un-necessary and were probably the lethal ones.

The employee initially went after the other robber, but they ran away. Then he went after the 'im dead' guy.

The employee went a bit too far and will probably be found guilty of 3rd degree murder and spend a year or two in prison, depending on his background and how good his lawyers are.

You people are fucking retarded.

When someone with a ski mask makes an aggressive move towards you, you neutralize the threat IMMEDIATELY or risk your own life.

Go ahead though, take that risk... it's not my life.

Maybe you fools simply don't have anything worth staying alive for?

This made me queasy watching and hearing a person's life pass away in their own words. In these violent days it's impossible to know what a criminal will do and you can't wait to see if they have a weapon. How many videos of deadly kicks and stomps to the head have we witnessed? Kill or be killed.

I'm glad the owner is alive, but truly sickened that society has fallen to complete lawlessness. "The love of many shall wax cold" is on full dislay.

I'm 100% for 2A, 'stand your ground' castle doctrine. Typically I have no sympathy but this one just feels & looks different. Obviously a stupid (and likely young) kid who had no idea him trying to snatch some warez was going to immediately result in being repeatedly stabbed to death.

I also don't get the impression the store owner truly felt his life was in jeopardy and honestly kind of looks like he was aggravated in his action. So it seems really senseless and just sad... I'm sick of humans killing each other and generally treating one another like shit

Store owner is not expected to read the thug's mind. Being able to read their mind is not a condition to self defense. Forceful invasion overwhelmingly creates a violent threat and fear for life. Store owner was justified.
