Wanna bet they perps we Amish? I know by the way they totally trashed the outside of his store.
Chow is Asian and that will make matters much worse.

Now, the store owner has been charged with murder.

Sounds like a reasonable charge.

Yes shoplifters should be confronted and stopped.
But getting shut in the back over a single bottle of water the kid did not take, is not justified.

Sweet little teen boy. So sad. Not.

” It was then that he realized the 14-year-old was armed, and shouted to his father that he had a gun”
What is reasonable about that?

Yeah. No armed teenager would ever intend to steal.
To: Morgana
Even if the kid stole a dozen cases of water, it is certainly not worth the
nightmare you will unleash upon yourself if you decide to shoot the kid.

Clearly, a 14 year old kid should not be carrying a gun, but unless he pulled it out, that’s not gonna be a valid defense for this guy.

> ” It was then that he realized the 14-year-old was armed, and shouted to his father that he had a gun” What is reasonable about that?And how did they know the 14 year old had a gun unless he brandished it ?
Isn't possession of a firearm by a minor a criminal offense ?
Did the 14 year old point the firearm at the store owner or his son ?
There is much more to this story which needs to be made public before any reasonable comments about this incident can be made.

“You have to be defending someone’s life or your life. There has to be immediate danger to you.
‘Someone who is running away, has no indication the he is pointing a gun at anyone while he’s running away, he was shot in the back.”
That’s debatable and the case the defense attorney will have to make to the jury.
Let’s not repeat the narrative that the alleged shoplifter was shot over merchandise. Obviously not the case.

Depends on if the kid raised his weapon or not...if so then it’s self defense.

Either way I don’t understand these Asians and I know we have them on this forum.
Why on earth do they have their stores in black communities? Why not in white ones? Have they not learned by now?
Mr Chow more so. Even in China they don’t trust blacks over there, I read stories during the Olympics of it. So why do they put their stores in black communities over here?

Shot because if the hundreds (thousands) of other times people of the community shoplifted in that store.

Lots of equivocation from blacks on FB. Maybe the store owners planted it. Maybe it’s an airsoft.

He didn’t get shot over a bottle of water, he got shot because he pulled his own gun.
