Or rob an Walgreens in some large cities Yuppie section. Not "Billy Bob's Gas/Tire/Lube/Grill/Pharmacy" in Bodunk, Arkansas.

word.


i mean, c'mon.... how stupid can you be.

yeah he might have been good when he was like 5, but clearly that fucker is out causing a stir now (or, well, was).

Potato, potahto. Call it what you want, but I support the guy. That dumbass touched the stove. Maybe he's not a victim, he's an example? When the balloon goes up you can't tell what your reaction will be, and when some punk kid runs into a pharmacy waving a gun, he's running a risk. Apparently this time it was a risk of getting shot five times.

And the family will of course be on the news talking about how he was a good kid, how he was turning his life around. Like this armed robbery attempt was just a little slip on his road to success. Fuck this kid, he brought deadly force against a peaceable man and lost. Let the pharmacist go, give him his gun back, and stencil the silhouette of an armed robber on the door of his store like they stencil MiG silhouettes on the side of our fighters.

It is possible to simultaneously be both suspect and victim. There were two separate crimes committed here.

I have to disagree. There is a key word that hasn't been brought up much in this whole thing. Premeditation. Those kids had given thought and planning to robbing that pharmacy. The guy working there did not wake up and say to himself "I think I'll shoot someone today."

I think that says it all myself.

As I stated earlier in this thread premeditation can take place over weeks, or in a split second. The shop owner showed premeditation by going over to his cabinet, retrieving a second gun, then proceeding to put 5 bullets into a nominally helpless target.

He was just protecting himself. It's hard to convict someone if they claim they were fearful of their life and took appropriate action to neutralize the threat. I'd kill the SOB too. As long as someone like that is alive they are a threat. You ever watch horror movies? You never stop until you're absolutely certain your target is D-E-A-D.
