Nice shooting grandpa!

HARLEM BUSINESS OWNER CHARLES AUGUSTO JR. SHOOTS AND KILLS TWO ROBBERS - New York Post

Let's hope that the DA there won't charge him with anything. It is NY after all.

Or that the robbers won't file civil suits against him.

I hope no charges are filed against him, but isn't shooting people in the back a big no-no? At least that's how I remember it.

P.S. no I do not sympathize with the robbers.

I believe it is the action that is involved. So if the BG was de-escalating the situation by retreating then yes, that would be a no-no. However, if the BGs had their back turned in response to either fawk up some other person or commit a bigger "oops" then no. Regardless, it's a pretty slipper slope esp in NY. One of the few places where the thugs have more rights than the sheeple.

Can't comment on NY laws but good for him, he did what he had to do to protect himself and his employees.

Not something I would ever say in public if I was ever unfortunate enough to be in this guy's situation.

Remember the kind of DA that you are likely to find yourself under should this happen to you to CA.

Pistol grip on that shotgun of his. Isn't that a no-no in NY?

From the way the article is written the two that got spinal tapped were otherwise distracted when he pulled out the shotgun and opened up and not in the process of fleeing. Good that he stood his ground.
