Store owner shoots 14 year old “shoplifter” in back

People who recommend, "Just retrofit your service station so that people can't come in and can only purchase items through a bullet proof window" don't stop and think that probably costs 10s of thousands of dollars to do and these Kwik-E-Mart owners aren't exactly rolling in money. They are poor immigrants without great access to credit facilities and/or expensive credit facilities most likely.

 

This narrative is what allows people like you to say any prominent black individual who disagrees with you is successful because of affirmative action. That's a you problem.

The reality is affirmative action even if I disagree with it in principle only applies mostly in tie breaker scenarios were fringe candidates of equal qualifications exist and you need a tie breaker.

 

The reality is there is only one solution:

Small business owners in a sea of poverty... It's inevitable.

 

As a child of South Asian immigrants who know a lot of individual small business owners of convenience stores(ya unfortunately this stereotype exists for a reason) most of them aren't poor and actually very well off especially from their country of origin.

 

There is a lot of truth in this.

 

In Northern Minnesota? It is very possible if not probable. There are some areas, especially in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. I’m a white man and I don’t feel comfortable in some areas in those regions - they don’t like outsiders, especially ones that don’t look like them.

 

To put it coldly, it’s simply part of the cost of doing business.

 

Is it OYO?

 

That is why rule #1 in all police shootings/self defense pleading shootings is. . . make sure you kill the person
then your narrative is the only narrative

Nobody shoots to disarm/disable because

1) that's an impossible expectation

2) you only pull your gun out if your life is in danger

 

Once you give chase . . . . IMO . . . . self defense goes out of the window
You are now HUNTING

Flash forward to today
The Koreans still are economically stronger and popular after rebuilding
I wonder why ?

Isn’t it the rule in any shooting since the beginning of time ?

 

Not sure why so much of the Convo is focused on the circumstances of asian store owners in a thread about the murder of a black boy. This dude can be rich or poor and it wouldn't make any difference to the murder.

 

Because it’s the media narrative
@Salvy

there’s no real winners and nobody here can play arm chair quarterback
Nobody wants to work in that store in the hood with constantly watching your back
