Also the thief had already stolen some property from the truck - he was coming back for more when the confrontation occurred.The Annoyed Man wrote:Let's pick this one apart for a second (not your comment, but the situation)....dlh wrote:This is an interesting case. Good shoot or bad shoot? Did they find anything in the thief's pocket? Not sure what LEO will do with this one. They can always just turn it over to the Lubbock D.A. who can take a look at it and decide whether to present to grand jury. If the bread truck driver is unlucky and gets indicted I would probably as a hypothetical juror say not guilty on this one. The thief was stealing stuff out of the bread guy's truck then the thief reached into his pocket when confronted...would certainly scare me and put me in reasonable fear for my life. Mayor Bloomberg and Piers Morgan may think differently.
The bad guy made out like a bandit. (Pun intended.)
- A delivery driver observes a thief transferring merchandise from his delivery truck to another vehicle - presumably the thief's.
- The delivery guy pulls his gun and announces to the thief that he has a CHL (not sure what value that has in the moment, but.....)
- The thief puts his hand in his pocket, and continues to advance toward the delivery driver......demonstrating either his intent to do the driver harm, or his complete departure from reality. Either way, he's a danger to the driver.
- The delivery driver shoots the thief in the leg.........unlike shooting him in center of mass, which most of us would have probably done......and the thief lives to see another day.
- All things considered, the thief had a better day than he otherwise might have had, and now he gets to have three hots and a cot for an extended period on someone else's dime. He doesn't have to continue his life of crime to eat and live rent free for a while.

No the police are just supposed to shoot the gun out of the BG hand. You know like the Lone Ranger did!

That's because if you hurt an animal you lose all female viewership.
