Things are not going to end well for gun shop employee
Good points, all of them. I'm not going to watch the video either, as I have no desire to see a human being killed. I wonder if this was a crime of opportunity. Did he go into the store with the intention of robbing it, or was the register open and he saw an opportunity. Stupid, no doubt, but not the same level of stupid as going into a gun store intent on robbing it. Your points prior are good to bring up. What is the small family owned business supposed to do? Insurance only covers so much. Are police able to do anything about it? Where I live has a population of about 10K. At least a couple of times a week our police department is posting "help us locate this individual" still photos from Walmart and QT security video of people in the act of walking out the doors with unpaid merchandise. That appears to be the extent of what they do. I have no idea what it's like for the small business owner, but it can't be good.

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
There's this guy that walks his dog every morning by our house. His dog likes to shit in our yard. To be honest, I don't really care.

Things are not going to end well for gun shop employee
Situation dictates, to be honest. If the person was facing me and had a weapon, they are walking away with whatever they have. My life is simply not worth a bit of cash. If they didn't have a weapon, I'm still not sure what I'd do. I'm not Billy Badass. I was a Marine, but I'm self-aware enough to know that I don't know. If I'm not the store owner, I'm not trying to stop anyone from stealing anything. I'm trying to do as told and live another day. If it's my house and my family is there, I'm sure that my actions would be far different. Hopefully I never have to find out what I'd do in a situation like that.

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
Yeah, first situation, if I happen to even know that they are there at 2AM, I'm turning on an inside light and waiting/watching to see what they do. I can also tell you that if someone broke into my outbuilding and was in the process of taking anything from it, they can have it. I'm endangering my family over "stuff". If they try to break into the house, that's a different story.

I'm just a layman, but once the person has left the store and is no longer a threat, I for one don't think that they should be shot in the back.

Gotta be honest, I'm pro second amendment. That being said, you are absolutely correct. Our society is beyond fucked up. We are well down this dark path and I don't think that we can course correct. People are just so angry about everything. I'm legitimately scared for my kids because of the world that we have created.

Woman shot and killed after car she was in pulled into the wrong driveway
I don't understand the world in which we live now. First, I am a gun owner. I don't carry, it stays in my house and is accessible (but not too accessible). I live in a somewhat rural part of Missouri. My house is on a hill and I have a pull through semi-circle drive in front. I have people pull into my drive on a somewhat regular basis to turn around because they made a wrong turn. If I'm outside when they pull into the driveway, I simply wave. I have never once thought of going to retrieve my pistol.

Black Teenager Shot for Ringing Wrong Doorbell
I had a black gentleman, approximately 30 years old, knock on my door on Saturday. I also live in Missouri. Was I supposed to shoot him? He CLAIMED to be from Ameren and installed a smart meter. I'm now wondering if that was a ruse.

2023 St. Louis Cardinals thread -- fuckin' fire him already
I am having a hard time understanding how this team can be this bad. We all knew that the starting pitching was going to be average at best, but the lineup was supposed to be really good. I really thought that they would win more than they lost. I guess I am an idiot.

2023 St. Louis Cardinals thread -- fuckin' fire him already
Oli really fucked up on the TON situation. Unless there have been multiple instances where TON has been talked to about effort, there is no way that should have been put out there for the media. Personally, I have not witnessed or heard anything about TON being lazy in the field or on the base paths. Pretty sure that TON gets traded at some point and he'll regain his form from a couple of years ago.

I didn't see him rounding third, but when Acuna fielded it I thought O'Neill was going to stay at third, even with 2 outs. That ball was hit pretty hard and Acuna.

I am not sure which I despise more: The Braves or the Cardinal pitching staff.

I am going to overreact... I really like this line up. I'm very worried about the entire pitching staff.

2022 StL Cardinals Thread of Domination
So the day is finally here. I love opening day, especially when the Cardinals are opening at home. Maybe one day I'll be able to attend, but I'll be watching on TV today. Have any of you been to opening day in STL? Also, are we going to roll with this thread this season?

The mega-meta Military family/friends thread
That's very sad, but unfortunately it's common. I've lost 3 friends that are veterans (2 that I served with in the Corps, one that I worked with as a contractor and he was a retired Army Sergeant Major) the same way.

2022 StL Cardinals Thread of Domination
I don't see any scenario where Walker breaks camp on the big league roster. This team just doesn't do that. ETA: But Dejong will. It's a mystery. I saw a tweet the other day about how Dejong was hitting balls all the way to just shy of the warning track. Holy shit, that's amazing. He was hitting fly outs.
