A Pennsylvania restaurant owner was arrested after he allegedly shot a 15-year-old boy who tried to snatch a tip jar from the counter, according to police.

Mohammed Hamdan, 39, allegedly shot the teenager several times on Friday night inside his restaurant, Hook Fish and Chicken in Stowe Township, just north of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Police Department said.

Police had received a report of shots fired around 10 p.m. Moments later, they received another call from the teen’s mother who said her son had been shot several times, according to a police report obtained by WTAE.

I am a firm believer that it ought to be legal to shoot people who are stealing stuff — “That’s not yours! BANG!”

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.

It’s the Democrat way.

“Mohammed Hamdan”

Something tells me the media will be silent on this one. Just a hunch.

They could make a movie out of this...the mom makes the teen go back to the store owner and apologize, and make him work at the store for free for a while to make amends. The store owner befriends the teen and takes a liking to him and teaches him the ropes, due to his own ungrateful kids. Eventually, the store owner gets sick and dies and we find out he gifted the store to the teen in his will.

Had a friend go to a “punishment party” in Saudi Arabia. He was politely ushered to the front of the audience. Got a good look. Thief had his - left - hand cut off. Since that hand is used to clean one’s self after a bowel movement, and the right hand is used for eating ... (well, you get the idea ...)

I predict the young thief will never again steal for as long as he lives.

That sure would change things. The good will no longer be victims of the criminal class.

RE: Mohammed Hamdan

Can he say it is permissible to kill an infidel? Or idolater?

And when the inviolable months1 have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Surah At-Tawbah 5

It's a close call - in fact too close if you are the one standing in line behind the punk who steals the jar.

It reminds one of the time when formal law enforcement was not readily available and people took care of it on their own. Those folks earned the name, "vigilantes", a class today held in very low esteem.

The kid’s mom will end up owning the store. That’s just how things work.

But it would be interesting to know how much shoplifting Mr. Hamdan had to endure every month. Sometimes that’ll push you over the wrong edge.
