Store owner shoots 14 year old “shoplifter” in back

The fact they found a gun near the body is going to complicate things. Dead men tell no tales. Gonna come down to the video surveillance, if any exists.

 

There can and has been situations where a criminal has their back to you but can easily twist around when armed to shoot at you while putting distance to avoid an armed self defense individual. In the event, the armed person is twisting around and you shoot them they're gonna get hit in the back.

I have a lot of respect for Asians - they generally don't change for the worse - they are generally against woke ideology- they don't change for the sake of nonsense- all you have to do is watch anime to realize their storytelling has zero identity politics/ and in the case of the 1992 riots, they had no problem defending their stores

They wake up early when others might call it racist to do that- they take education seriously and they are very respectful- as a country we could learn a lot from the Asian culture- instead we have a crap load of white trash on both sides of the political spectrum- we have a culture problem with other racial categories- with that said, I don't know what the particulars are, but I don't think the Asian race should be denigrated at all

I’m not a big anime fan but even I know a lot of anime has LGBTQ themes and characters. There are actually trans characters in a lot of anime.

Honestly this reads as one of those things that is meant to be complimentary but is actually patronizing. .[/QUOTE]
The reason I think anime hits different is I have no problem with inclusion, but I think there's distinct differences with woke identity politics - you can have tomo chan is a girl that you could say had LGBTQ themes to an extent but the content was not driven. That's the difference that I'm seeing- while the tomboy girl was strong - she was not seen is overpowering compared to her boyfriend at the same age, which is honestly realistic- you don't see that in she hulk where the girl always outdoes the male counterpart- also eminence in shadow- the male character dominates everyone whether they are female or male...wouldn't see that in a Disney I really don't think. -

I'm seeing a distinct difference in the content between Marvel/Disney vs anime in general - just my perspective

Also, I'm not being patronizing -a lot of statistics back up the achievements of Asians in regards to education and life choices- I apologize if I came off that way, but it's simply a fact it's not imaginary it's verified- now is every Asian the same way of course not there's going to be good and bad with every category of human in existence- but from numerical analysis- my point still stands

 

Re woke: Part of it is that American culture swings in extremes as it tries to figure itself out while getting along with its neighbors. Asian countries in general are more homogenous and many east asian countries share a collective rather than individualist culture. Thailand is very "progressive" in terms of fluid gender. Taiwan has been relaxing its oppression of homosexuality but many countries are fine with their status quo. Asians don't share the same views as a collective race. We're all better off for that...

Anyhow, he should be tried and is likely guilty. We're starting to claim "words literally hurt", but the good ol defense where "threatening behavior" by race justifies murder has to be shattered.

You can't aim and shoot someone in the back because you're a wannabe extra in a cowboy western. I'm guessing even the gun lovers here would agree possessing a firearm needs mandatory training on usage and the law.

Even if it is a 14 yr old armed with a firearm. (wtf)

 

Interested in learning the findings once they’ve had more time to conduct their investigation.

 

I think that is completely fair. Normally, I don't agree with you but here I can't disagree.

 

In all likelihood, the shooting was not justified there are situations where shooting someone in the back is justified especially if the perpetrator is twisting around to shoot at an innocent person, but that is not often the typical situation I would agree

 

If the victim had a gun out, that would likely be in self defense. The store owner was chasing him with a gun after he DIDN'T shoplift. If he drew a gun to defend himself, it seems like that would qualify.

 

I also believe we need to do a better job of treating people based on a blind eye, but that also cuts both ways... if a group of students do well in school then they should be commended based on the blind eye regardless of race and let the chips fall as they should

 

Kids are scary now since they have crap parents

 

made me think of this:

 

Maybe Thanos had the right idea - snap half the world's population away - half problems solved lol

 

I’m in favor of AI policing the world
You start looting and terminators and Robocops mowing down looters ?!

Id buy that for a dollar

A lot of these cases are people making bad decisions based on frustration with the enforcement of laws. Store owners, small-business owners, break and you get things like this. This store owner was like, enough is enough, and killed the kid thinking of all the past thieves that have stolen from him.

 

Dude might want to add this to his Spotify playlist, cause he gonna be living it soon:

 

Kid was being chased by a guy with a gun. If anyone has a right to self defense in that situation, it's the kid.

 

Yeah, there's really nothing to say until the camera footage and more information comes out
