Quote:Being an armed convict does not supersede a person's right to life. Nor does it mean that the case can or should be closed without proper investigation.

 

The situation would be different if the store clerk was the one doing the shooting since he would actively be defending his own life, but reading the (woefully inadequate) story it was a bystander who wasn't being directly threatened who opened fire.

 

If I owned a store and I was being robbed, and somehow I was able to get a hold of my gun as well.....first reaction is to start shooting. If they are running because they see my gun, so be it.

 

Why do I have to show good judgement when someone enters my property to rob me and I am able to turn the table on them?  If they had the chance to shoot him they would have taken it (or else why bring a gun?)
