if as a customer, I watched some one run off, with anything that was properity of the buisness, I wouldnt give chase. unless I am going to get free coffee for life I have no interest in protecting their properity
If they didn't charge that fellow for his, he got "free coffee for life" .... I'd stay put and be a good witness and take pitchers with a camera phone iffn I had one.

Thief stole a tip jar with about 2 bucks in it.

Shot the clerk anyway.

Got caught a block away.

I do not understand the thought process of the armed robber and murderer.
It makes more sense when you recognize that robbery has a significant power tripping component to it. It is not a purely economic crime like shoplifting as many people think.
I've always heard that shoplifting is more about the thrill than the item taken.

That is probably more true for "rich people". A kid stealing a candy bar is probably looking forward to the thrill of the sugar rush after eating it.

I could not find ANYWHERE in the story where this little piece work was charged for robbery and/or manslaughter and he is loose on the streets. If a tip jar on a Starbucks Counter counter promotes murder then Rosie O'Donnel should sue Dunkin Doughnuts.

So how come the estate isn't suing Ford. They have more money.

I would sincerely hope that there is a DA in St. Louis who won't be so quick to join hands in forgiveness and put this little murdering creep where he belongs. People should be held accountable for their actions.
Ut oh .... now they will ... lawyer prolly didn't think of it till you brung it up "rlol"

Probably checking the calendar for the "joinder" deadline as we write ...
