c-store clerk's boss said "he should have killed him"

[barstoolguru]

Surveillance video captures the moment Mr Headstrong pulled out his weapon and fired, dropping 30-year-old Joseph Ryan Anderson to the floor with bullet wounds to his leg and his finger.

But Mr Headstrong's boss, store owner Musa Agil said his employee should have shot the robber dead: 'He should have killed him and this guy was soft on him.'

I gotta agree with Mr Agil...

'He was trying to give him a second chance. Thugs like those should not ever be given a chance, because if that man shot Mark, he's not going to look at him and give him a chance. That's why Mark made a terrible mistake by letting him go'

...'cause this is not the way to handle the situation!

The in-store cameras show Anderson walk into the store wearing a mask and black hood pulled over his head. He draws a gun and points it at Mr. Headstrong. The clerk draws his own handgun. Mr Headstrong, a soft-spoken man, told the Star News of Wilmington that he instructed Anderson to drop the gun. But the convicted felon didn't. Instead, he steps closer to the counter, so Mr Headstrong fired a warning shot into the floor.

Verbal warnings and a warning shot against an armed assailant? No way, Jose. Too much chance that those tactics will not stop the threat. You'd think after three robberies in a year, Mr Headstrong would be a bit smarter...or at least a better shot!

And I love this quote...

'You'll be hailed as a hero,' Mr Agil told his employee during a news conference. 'But you'd be a superhero if you'd dropped him dead.'

Cheers! M2
