The criminal's family said, I'm not kidding, that since the citizen had a chance to run away rather than defend the clerk that he should have just run away - and that he shouldn't have said anything about it to anyone.
They specifically said he should have not called police or anything because it "wasn't any of his business."
Here in Ga, a shoplifter was banned from Walmart and showed up to shoplift some more. She was recognized and chased by someone in law enforcement. Not remembering all the details but she got in her car with her shoplifting buddies and I think drove toward the law enforcement officer. He ended up clinging to her door and she was driving erratically. He shot her and killed her. Her ‘friends’ said instead of shooting her, he should have shot in the air ‘to scare her’ and she would have stopped.
Idiots.
