Never bring a toy gun to a gun fight
the headshot is a little off putting, but technically you are supposed to shoot to kill not shoot to maim. Once you remember the guy showed up with a “gun” to rob everyone enjoying their meal striking fear into innocent patrons it’s more palatable.
I do think the armed citizen should have called police and waited instead of just leaving though
Shooting the guy initially to end the threat would not be the issue. It was the Coup de grace head shot that was unnecessary. He had the right to end the threat, but not to execute.
They will probably find something in his past, he was a cold blooded killer. Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you should.
How do you figure cold blood? I’d say the shooter was quite worked up.
You mean the right to defend yourself and others?? I'm pretty sure everyone in that diner felt much better after the threat to their lives was eliminated.
eliminating the threat was not the problem....the final shot to the head was not necessary, the guy was no longer a threat to their lives.
That is incorrect.
no you shoot to stop the threat.....kill is optional
The flaw in stand your ground law is people are given license to kill without demonstrating they know the law, or capable of following it at a moment of high stress.
And it’s not something for which one can effectively train. The military can drill a squad or a company or a crew to high technical proficiency, but there is no way to really prepare for the first experience of battle and its unique and severe psychological effects.
