All stores deal with thieves. And, sure, some people get away with stealing again and again.
But, to chase after a thief, shoot him, and not even call 911? That’s downright coldhearted.
I got halfway through your second sentence, and figured it was you. Odd.
In the post you responded to, I pointed out what would happen if you went into prosecutor Lora Fowler's house, stole a $2 beer and just left without threatening anyone or anything.
Fowler would read your mind and "see" that you posed a threat of great bodily harm, and put you in prison for felony home invasion.
You'd get sexed in the back repeatedly.
Think I'd rather get shot, thank you very much.
Why has the race of the thief been inserted into the headline?
Oh yeah, can't inflame the public, as per The Agenda.
I agree that the theft was no excuse for murder.
I would also like to know if they found the beer.
Yeah I don’t give a #### that he got shot and died in a lot alone in his final hours.
It’s ENOUGH.
WE KNOW this wasn’t going to be his last or worst crime.
Your situation at the time is not my business but I am glad you felt you did the right thing. That’s all that matters in the end.
As for this kid, I don’t care at all that he’s mulch now.
How much is enough?
Not calling for an ambulance is inexcusable but whatever you think about using deadly force to defend property on a moral basis it shouldn’t be illegal.
If the theft is big enough it is absolutely justified, that’s why they used to hang horse-thieves.
“You take my house when you do take the prop
That doth sustain my house. You take my life
When you do take the means whereby I live.”

I think it is what happens when one crosses backwoods humor with a Mr. K grade education, and then throws in personality development.
The dry humor is beyond some, in the grasp of others, and leaves tell-tale finger prints that are identifiable.
A few of your posts have also struck me the same way.
Originally from Yemen and is now a U.S. citizen. A muzzie?
Where did Swain finish? I read an article about her here, which was the only reason I asked.
I am reminded of something similar about forty five years ago when missionaries in Haiti, saw a man steal from a stall.
The thief did not get more than a few yards before the TON TON MACOUTES were on him and beat him to a pulp.
The missionaries were horrified when the shop keeper said it had to be done. If not, everyone would come in and steal everything they had.
The US has not reached that low yet, I hope.

If you think Memphis is typical of the U.S., you are in a state of denial.
If we only had Sharia Law, they would’ve settled for amputating the thief’s right hand and left foot. < / sarcasm>
Is it possible the black teen was overwhelmed with guilt and committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of his head ?
Glad you didn’t murder anyone, that’d be a crime and immoral to boot.... There is a huge difference between murder and justified killing...
Obviously this case was not one of them.
I don’t even shoot bears making a mess in my restaurant’s dumpster.
Anwar should have settled for chopping off the kafir’s hand.
Yeah, I gotta say, that’s an extreme over reaction.
