In many states the situation would be dicey for the owner of the stickshift because the thief was running away. I hope that is not the case for this one, though. The criminal class must be given an understanding that certain types of crime are dangerous to their lives. I would love to hear that the staff of an upscale department store has shot four or five of the mob plundering the store and that no charges are appropriate against the clerks. If that were to happen twice in two different cities, it could just end the mob looting phenomenon.
The perp was not running away. He was still committing a felony, trying to carjack another vehicle.
