Alabama Robber's Family Mad At CHPer Who Shot Him During The Robbery

The Good Sam chose to act and help the others in the store but the family of the robber said he should have not interfered ... W T F ??? The guy is robbing a store in a mask with a gun pointed at others. When he is told to stop and put down his gun he spins on Good Sam ... 5 shots ... they are damn lucky he is alive. I can't say for sure but I think 5 rounds from most here would be DRT for the thug.
And for my standard racial statement ... by the voice of the Good Sam I think he is black and I am glad of that so it would be black shooting black and no race card can be played (except for my racist statement)

From their viewpoint, the guy was conducting a perfectly legitimate non-violent robbery, in which he demonstrated a de facto willingness to let the victims continue to draw breath, as he had obviously demonstrated by not blowing out anyone's brains. Along comes some busybody do-gooder who is too ignorant to know that this was just a routine neighborhood shakedown, and starts shooting up the place. Nobody had to get hurt, as long as they bent over and grabbed their ankles, as ordered. It's just a shame when folks can't assimilate into the 'hood. When folks don't know the pecking order, they should just butt out.
Oh, but I DO appreciate the fact that they had a crappy childhood . . . so much so I think we should extend the scope of the trial to see if we crucify their parents right alongside them in the town square.

It is really nothing more than a matter of opinion. It isn't so much about right or wrong, as much as it is merely a poor solution that everybody involved will accept, but very grudgingly. It is basically the resolution of a no-win situation. Either side, or both sides of the conflict can be either right or wrong and it doesn't matter, because the only goal of justice is to end the conflict, by creating a situation in which both sides feel like that they haven't lost, or been even further mistreated.
In this case, a career criminal was interrupted early in his career by a person who had resolved not to be a career victim. Either one of them might have won or lost, and the law might have absolved either one of them, because of the criteria involved in determining what constitutes legal or illegal behavior, and the skill with which that criteria is manipulated. Either way, the law would assign the title of winner to one, and loser to the other, and then wash its hands, regardless of the 'justice' aspect.
So, just forget the law, for this exercise, and focus only on justice. The justice in this case is found in the simple facts:
One person held the lives of several people in his hands, to be ended, interrupted, or spared, at his sole discretion, and based entirely on criteria that he believed his personal power allowed. For those who believe themselves to be living in a predatory world, this seems quite routine.
Then, another person came along and removed those options by exercising one of his own. He held exactly the same power in his hands, and exercised it in exactly the same manner, based on his own criteria for living in a predatory world. Very simple...how can this not be justice in a predatory world?

Now, there's a new (to me) English 'saying' that I haven't run across in all of my vast self-education endeavors. Very appropriate - I hope I can find someone to use it against that will know what I'm talking about. :jester:

Yeah, the gloves come off after retirement. I don't miss going to work, yet, but the thought of it is less dreadful than it was a year ago.:tooth:
