Tragic. I would want to carry this on my conscience over a hatchet. Another moral is don’t rob people, whoever you might be robbing could be just “itchin’” to shoot some thief.

“YOU DARE STEAL FROM ME?!? YOU DIE NOW.” Nothing but ego.

The trash pile thief had it coming sooner or later. He put himself in that position whether the shooting was justified or unjustified.

I still like it when criminals get fed lead. He won’t steal again.

Way too extreme use of deadly force when his life was not threatened

Hey, John. A similar situation happened here. But with an off duty officer. The subject was unarmed, fled the store, ran across the highway to a car wash. Held up the stolen item witnesses said was a mini hatchet in those plastic blister packs.. and surrendered. The O.D. shot him six times…

Stealing from a small business with firearm stickers in the windows is not going to end well for you

The video of this was posted in a Facebook group I belong to with the question as to if it was a good shoot. In reading through the responses, I rediscovered how many gun owners know nothing about gun laws, self defense laws or even have real common sense. What I found most disturbing is realizing how many carriers seem to be looking for an excuse to draw their weapon instead of trying to avoid drawing their weapon.

B/S, the thief has a hatchet in his hand. End of discussion.

In my opinion the robber set in play all outcomes of this one. Was the shot justified? Maybe not but, certainly wouldn't have happened if the robbery wasn't happening. I don't blame the shop keeper. I blame the robber for starting the action and having the consequences of his actions. personally in situations like this I will always side with the shopkeeper. The robber is breaking the law no matter what the outcome.
