Good example of the clerk maintaining his situational awareness and not staying buried in his computer screen.

What do you guys think about leaving the store and waiting outside? If the perp isn't dead, he has the ability to get a shot off maybe. Seems to me the better move is to stay put and keep an eye on him in case the threat isn't truly over. OR if you're going to bug out, then bug all the way out, not loiter outside in front of the shop windows.


If I had to guess...I'd say he left and closed the door to preserve the scene, and prevent other customers from entering until responders did.

Great video! I just had to chuckle watching the arrogant cavalier thug throw a bag to be filled up with stolen cash and wind up dead on the floor!

It reminded me of this:



Of course, the coolness wore off of this guy much more slowly and he didn't get nine bullets in his ass, so, he had that goin' for him. Roll Eyes

'This' is how the BS infesting society today is ended. Threaten my life or that of my family and you're history. No arrest, trial, jail time, or rehab for the American taxpayer to foot the bill for. Just one and done.

But you can rest assured, regardless the circumstances, given a white guy killed a black guy with a gun, this won't be the end of this incident.

You can never assume an armed robber is just after the money. Many victims have been killed for not having enough money, to not leave witnesses, or even just for the thrill of it.


THIS is what I tell the liberals who tell me: "Oh, just give him the cash and he'll leave you alone and go away".

He really did an excellent job of not being task locked. He was there on the computer but was not so focused that he saw someone coming to the door, presumably even noticed he was inappropriately dressed and maybe even saw the gun.

I think he had good sense to grab his phone and get the hell out to call the cops.

Good draw from concealment, got a two handed grip under stress and even looks like he had good recoil management. And it looks like the first shot or maybe the second got the BG in the head.

That employee did a great job. He suspected a possible threat, situated his hand near his firearm, and then neutralized the threat once he was being robbed. Great job.

glad no charges. that punk went down in a heap fast. being a lefty worked out for that clerk

I see so many unsavory looking cats wearing hoodies or other heavy clothing in the middle of summer. its in the upper 90s where i am today and I'm sweating in khaki shorts and a loose knit shirt and flip flops. I was out earlier running errands and sure as stuff, i see some guy in full dark pants and dark hoodie. do they purposely want to draw attention to themselves ? every time i see one i nudge my wife to keep an eye on him. its just not normal clothing for this area for this time of year.

San Francisco is cold in August! I guess trenchcoats with streetsweepers under them is no longer fashionable.

When the clerk tip toes past the expiring BG, I keep hearing this in my head:

I see a little silhouetto of a man!

Getting out was absolutely the right move. He was slide locked and I am assuming he didnt have a reload. No point in staying there unless you want to go hands on. You can still observe through the window. If he moves run. He can also keep other from going inside.

Maybe he was a little shaken up and just wanted a smoke?

Probably true. I'm thinking that was his pack of smokes he grabbed off of the counter there on the way out.

The Castle Doctrine in PA extends to your workplace:
(A)] the actor is not obliged to retreat from his dwelling or place of work, unless he was the initial aggressor or is assailed in his place of work by another person whose place of work the actor knows it to be.

It also prohibits the filing of civil suits by either the actor or their family:
...is justified in using such force and shall be immune from civil liability for personal injuries sustained by a perpetrator which were caused by the acts or omissions of the actor as a result of the use of force.
Attorney fees and costs.--If the actor who satisfies the requirements of subsection (a) prevails in a civil action initiated by or on behalf of a perpetrator against the actor,the court shall award reasonable expenses to the actor. Reasonable expenses shall include, but not be limited to, attorney fees, expert witness fees, court costs and compensation for loss of income.

I feel really bad for the clerk. Sucks to be in that situation. But glad he’s okay. At least the dead perp can be a cautionary tale to others.
