The store manager is a felon. He should never had a gun, essentially shot people in the back, he deserves conviction and jail. The crooks should be dead, but not shot in the back as they flee. Business should be held liable for hiring an armed felon as well.

I understand the law disallows back shooting fleeing criminals, but I’m perfectly okay with it.

Gotta dissuade them somehow.

So just let them steal. Got it. Some of the people on here are really no better than the thieves.

Was he on probation/parole? If the State isn't going to offer him security, why should he not be allowed to defend himself once his sentence is over?

The judicial system continues to fail the people they are hired to protect. The release criminals back out on the streets to cause crime over and over. When a citizen defends themselves, they are expected to do everything perfectly or they will go to prison but not the criminals. Once an average person is forced to shoot, they are stressed beyond reason and at that point are not in complete control over their senses. Hence I say he goes free.
