Hey, quit talking like a cop.
This channel did a great review of the Florida McGlockton shoot as well.
I think he summarized quite well what a number of people said, bad shoot. Then he posited a great question; was it worth it?
A few folks defending the shooter take the angle of "perp was a thief and deserved what he got." Ok. Still murder. A murder that degrades the right of law abiding citizens even. Was it worth it?
Bad all around.
Wouldn't have been to me. Ammo still isn't cheap and it sounds like the thief wasn't worth the bouncing brass.Was it worth it?

I really hate to see this. I can imagine the way the guy felt. Wifey working in retail grocery and day after day, dirt bags taking product and not giving a damn about what it does for the business. Only in this case, with a store owner, he sees it as money coming directly from his pocket, every day maybe. It's not the store being robbed, he sees it as himself personally being robbed.
The charge is proper.
Yah well, I think we can call it a "bad shoot" now. Or do we have to wait for the jury...
Florida city official charged with murder in shoplifter's shooting death; 'stand your ground' claim rejected
Words mean things and if you are going to say the dead theif "robbed" that place, then I belive you are wrong. Robbery is "The taking of money or goods in the possession of another, from his or her person or immediate presence, by force or intimidation" and that did not happen and was not happening when the commissioner/jury/executioner went all tactical during a petty theft.Florida official indicted on murder charge after state rejects 'stand your ground' claim

So, I get why this is not a good shooting, but dude comes in, robs your business. You confront him, he has a weapon, and you shoot. Although there is no mention in the article, it is almost certain this is not Lopez's first crime. I think a good DA lets this slide. I hope he gets off.
