James Williams, 36, opened fire on the robbery suspects as they were fleeing before one fatally shot him in the leg and chest, authorities said
A man accused of killing a California gas station clerk during a "botched" robbery will not face a murder charge because the victim had opened fire on the suspect despite his life not being in danger, officials said Thursday.
James Williams, 36, was killed during an early Saturday morning gunfight with Ronald Jackson Jr., 20, at a Chevron in Antioch, Fox San Francisco reported.
The Antioch Police Department said a gas station employee called to report a person had been shot at the Extra Mile mini-mart just after 2 a.m. When officers arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound to the head inside the store.

“...because the victim had opened fire on the suspect despite his life not being in danger.”
It would seem the evidence would show otherwise, with the victim being dead and all.

Those who created this situation need to be dealt with before you can solve (fix) this problem

only the criminals are protected in New York and California.
Anyone not getting the hell out of there now before the reparations kick in deserves what is about to happen.

Add Oregon and Washington to the list. Alaska is working towards that trifecta too.

"...the victim of a property crime cannot then use deadly force to reclaim stolen property."
LOL, so a criminal using a gun to rob a store is only a property crime? Good thing he didn't steal more than $900.00, it would have been a real crime then.

Not once the person leaves the store. Same with a home. You can shoot a thief in your home, but once the threat is over, you can’t.

[Antioch] city’s black population has jumped from less than 2 percent 20 years ago to more than 17 percent, while Latinos now represent about a third of Antioch’s residents.

Just another example of how the Woke dimension is inverted reality. Up is down, good is bad...
As the Bible says:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Isaiah 5:20 (NIV)
Translation: "It ain't gonna turn out well for those folx."

That depends on the state. In Texas you can blast away under such conditions if they are stealing a large amount or say a horse. Blast away too for your neighbors stuff as well.
