Freedom Drive isn't a Charlotte location that most folks would navigate.....day OR night. That being said, a bullet to the head behind the ear is a bit of a statement 🚨
But, like Henry Cabot Henhouse III (Super Chicken) always said....."You knew the job was dangerous when you took it".

More facts in another story linked in the one General provides.
I am not completely comfortable with the pizza guy shooting it out with a robber in the restaurant. At least not without knowing his training, more about the situation, and a lot more about what was behind the robber in the line of fire.
Some sympathy for the family I guess, but not much for their analysis of the robber's right to carry out the robbery free of risk from deadly force when he is committing armed robbery.

Luckily for the pizza guy self-defense isn't yet something he needs your permission for. |

No, but law enforcement training made me a lot less likely to use deadly force, and what I suggested was we don't know whether it was a good shooting or not without more.
A right to shoot in general and whether it was right to shoot and exercise the right here are different things.

He did hit the guy in the head. That's a pretty good shooting if you ask me.
By the way, you can read through the whole linked article and not learn that the robber also had a gun.
I think, as a society, we should be asking ourselves what we can do to increase the percentage of armed robbers that are shot in the head. |

The issue was self defense and of course the safety to others when the shooting occurred, the necessity and advisability of using deadly force. |

I do not support the death penalty for armed robbery. I'm ok with it. If it happened more, I bet you'd see a lot less armed robberies. |

I can understand that. I can't judge the shooting on the facts available, could be righteous. If you really think the death penalty fits armed robbery, I suggest you look at how many deaths that would mean...and deterrence by imposing the death penalty has fairly weak evidence, even for first degree murder. That has to do with how infrequently we catch people for most crimes. And, there are the problems of convictions reasonably often being wrong, and being skewed by race, and the idea you had the death penalty would greatly increase the cost of prosecution, conviction and appeal. |

Oh, I was talking about them being shot in the head while committing the robbery. Then the cost is only the bullet and maybe some clean up. A tremendous bargain for society!
