I remember doing that as a teenager. If I heard stories like this I would have never thought about doing that.

I think as long as that beer was in possesion of those guys (as in they still had his store's property) then they were fair game.

Austin must be a mad house with them protesting Whole Foods.

Get used to it...Its the internet...You think I find it funny when people stereotype Jersey?

There are morons everywhere in the world...

Dude shouldn't go to jail though...Steeling beer is a Definite Crime!!!

:lol: Just because it's going to happen doesn't mean I have to like it.

And I don't stereotype Jersey because I know nothing about it. Houston on the other hand....:lol

I wasnt pin pointing you or anything...Its just something That happens.

I agree he should be charged with murder, but maybe Murder 2 at 15 years. The theif did not have a gun, nor did he pose a threat. I mean it was a 20 dollar pack of beer and he was already out of the store.

Now it is going to cost someone 10 grand to bury this guy over a 20 dollar pack of beer. Stealing alone does not constitute taking a life nor should it be tolerated.

You guys can say what you like.

But, ultimately, this piece of shit won't be stealing anything any time soon.

Agree or disagree, he won't be messing anybody's life anymore.

He got what he deserved. Anyone should be shot for purchasing american beer, let alone stealing it.

so is there a $ figure where deadly force is acceptable?

Whrere's a flow chart when you need one?

:zowned: I guess you really can't shoot any fleeing thief in Texas, unlike what some of you have claimed in the past.
