Nope, still not a good guy. He shot the guy like nine times in total, including a headshot well after the guy was already completely incapacitated, disarmed, and not fighting back at all.
Isn’t this the guy who robbed the store in Texas with a fake gun? >

Yes, only because he had trouble getting a real gun because of his many prior armed robbery convictions. >

Robbery, murder, domestic violence convictions.... >

Mannn the reddit lawyers are sure debating this one! I'm actually curious if a grand jury will bring charges tbh. >

I mean I don't know if you have seen the video, but it was more of an execution... >

I don't agree with that statement at all. Are you 100% sure the person who was shot wasn't going to turn around and open fire? Sure enough to bet your life and those of your loved ones? 
An execution would be if he disarmed the gunman, held him at gunpoint, and then shot him. What he did was shoot an armed robber who was still in possession of a weapon. The direction he was facing is irrelevant. >

He disarmed the robber. The robber was shot 8 times lying lifeless. He then shot an unarmed lifeless man in the head executing him. >

I'm not trying to argue,  but if the bodies he shot were lifeless,  how is that executing them? >

Does lifeless mean dead?
Did I say he was dead?
You know you can appear lifeless and still be alive?
"they are dead, or are so still that they appear to be dead" >

Did you say he appears lifeless? Seems you're looking for argument. I'll bite. Lifeless means without life. It means dead. Yes. Dumb ass. >

It's a common phrase lol >

As someone who has a wife who was carjacked at gunpoint, I give zero shits about him getting executed. The PTSD never leaves you and you never feel completely safe again. >

I agree and I am generally anti-gun. There was no way to know if that criminal was going to decide to start shooting anyone. No way to know it was a plastic gun. I'm sorry your wife was carjacked, I hope she finds peace. >

I did agree with you and the one problem I had is that he left before the cops arrived but, did understand the shooting. I did change my mind after seeing the video. It definitely went beyond self defense and to execution. He shot him well after it was clear there was no longer any danger. >

Why should he stay? He did not commit a crime. There was no reason for him not to go on with his normal day. >

...Even if he didn't commit a crime and wasn't an active participant, he would still have to stay to talk to the police. He shot and killed someone, then left. You think the police wouldn't want to talk to him? >

They might want to, but he is under no obligation to talk to him. Hell, cops won't talk to anyone for three days, and not without their union rep and lawyer present.   
Why would a member of the public, who has obviously committed no crime,    need to talk to the cops. Any information they might need is clearly visible on the video. >

Do you not understand how killing someone, and instantly leaving the scene looks suspicious at all?? He ended someones life, and fled the scene before the police got there. >

It looks smart. You should never talk to the police without a lawyer. >

Okay? Then if he stayed and said that he wants his lawyer present, it still looks less suspicious than once again, KILLING SOMEONE, AND LEAVING. >

Everyone is up in arms but when you put a quarter in the jukebox, you gotta dance to the music. When you run into a restaurant (in TEXAS) waiving a gun around robbing the joint, you get what you get. >

Just because you're in Texas doesn't mean you get to execute people lol. >

Whatever you think of the shooters actions, none of this happens if a guy doesn't walk into a restaurant and points a gun-looking thing at people.
All while demanding money and  making people fear for their lives. >

Literally nobody is arguing otherwise lol >

You're spending a bunch of time in this thread defending the armed robber.
Why? >

You're spending an awful lot of time defending a murderer why >

I'm not defending anyone. I pointed out that the armed robber set in motion pthe chain of events that result in his death, by appearing the threaten the lives of innocent people just eating at a restaurant. 
And yet there is much concern for the fate of the armed robber. I don't understand why, but whatever the reason I think that sentiment I wrong headed. >

reminds me of pulp fiction, the risk of robbing customers in diners/restaurants being you don't know who they are (and whether they are armed or not)  
that said, shooting 9 times in the back.. that's some pent up anger unleashed. >

First 8 were fine. It's the 9th one after he disarms the guy and puts another round into his head >

stopped moving by the 5th round.. the 9th was straight up point blank execution, sickening. >

Watched the video and tbh shooting someone in the head execution style, who is already down, and you've disarmed is terrible. >

Just make sure you get my wallet. It’s the one that says bad motherfucker on it. >

Good riddance. >

Jfc only on reddit do you see people defending someone who was committing armed robbery.
If you point a gun and threaten someone, and you get shot and killed, thats the end of it. There is 0 nuance afterwards. 
What is wrong with you people. >

Executing someone that is incapacitated and disarmed is not self defense lol >

No one was waiting to find if the guy was disarmed, "lol" >

None of this would’ve ever happened if the guy didn’t make a decision to rob people at gun point.  The decision was wrong. >

Lol two things can be wrong at once >

A true hero.  God bless him. >

Way too many people are commenting without having watched that video. That man shot that guy so many fucking times while his lifeless body just lie there. He then walked up to the guy and shot him 3 times in the head. That man is a psycho. The people there are not only traumatized at someone trying to shoot up the place but also watching another man violently kill someone. >

Good. I guarantee a lot more people than you think would do that exact same thing in that scenario. When someone threatens your life, it is very normal for anger and frustration to completely take over. If you put someone in that situation you 100% deserve whatever's happens to you in response. We aren't robots. >

Ah yes, blind rage and guns, a great combination.
Obviously, you can't be an emotionless blank when someone waves a gun in your face, but anger can lead you to do incredibly stupid actions, and with a gun, those actions get permanent, fast. 
Obviously the guy robbing the place deserved punishment for his actions, but it's not deserving of the death penalty. If he was an active threat, and had to be killed to stop him, then fine, but going out your way to kill him when they're not a threat is just wrong.
I thought the point of being civilized was to be the better man, not just to compete in a race to the bottom of violence. >

Again, you say this comfortably sitting behind your phone with no threat to your life. You have no idea what it's like to be in a life or death situation, where the guy who's walking away could easily decide to turn around and just shoot everyone before walking out the door. Especially in the US, where mass shootings are a common occurrence. >

Wow, there actually was a good guy with a gun this time.
