Shopkeeper Kills a Man

Comment on: Houston liquor store confrontation turns deadly at 11/9/2010 2:12 AM CST



Okay, lets put this to rest once and for all. .The guy stole two beers from a store owner. The store owner absolutely had the right to confront the thieve over it. He asked the thief to pay for the beer or return it. The thief decided to physically attack the store owner. Hence, the store owner had the right to protect himself by any means, including the use of deadly force. The thief was not murdered for shoplifting. The thief was killed when the store owner defended himself. It is called justifiable homicide.If you do not believe me, then just wait for the "no bill" from the grand jury..I am glad the store owner is alright, but I would not recommend that he do it again. Next time he might find himself bringing a knife to gun fight, and that really would be a sad story.
