Very true, considering the video shows that they never entered the store.

The driver is an accessory-before-the-fact to a robbery.

But nobody in that gang will be convicted or even charged with any crime for these events, even if they can be identified.

Most likely they are already "persons known to law enforcement". The best that can happen is that they will get busted on some other incident. The odds are low. They will continue with their almost risk-free crimes until luck runs out for a few of them.

“we need auto weapons like the ones in ‘5th element’, I see it coming.”

I just checked out the video that shows their capabilities. Righteous citizens need them now to repel the feral tide..

A couple of well-placed warning shots would go a long way towards ending this kind of behavior.

A couple of them down and screaming in pain or bleeding out on the street would be better.

It seems D.A.s and judges are the problem and need to be removed from office for those who will serve the public properly.

“So what is the purpose of firing a warning shot if not to intimidate others to stop what they are doing?”

You don’t shoot to warn, to wound, or to kill. You shoot to stop what others are doing.

And that’s your story.

If you shoot and “missed”, you weren’t shooting to warn, you were shooting to stop.

If you shoot and only wound, you weren’t shooting to just wound, you were shooting to stop.

If you shoot and kill, you weren’t shooting to kill, you were shooting to stop.

That’s your story. Stick to it. Let “them” prove something else in court or elsewhere.

Well said, although I really like Massad F. Ayoob’s famous quote, in advising telling the police and court that you did not shoot to kill, you “shot to live.”
