I didn't know that shoplifting was a capital offense. Or is this a case of stand your ground where the shooter feared he wouldn't get to have the item that was supposedly shoplifted. The power of the gun makes it possible to have a one person lynch mob.

It should take police and prosecutors 30 seconds to review this evidence and lay charges.

You know what we call this in Florida? Second degree murder.
-
It seems open and shut, except the dude had a hatchet. Now he's armed. Im not making that case but thats what his lawyer will say without a doubt. Now he can claim reasonable fear. The kid shouldnt have been shoplifting, he didnt deserve death though. IMHO
-
You can only use deadly force in defense of property in FL if the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent commission if a forcible felony. The dead guy was trying to leave. Grand theft - assuming the hatchet was worth more than $300 - is not a forcible felony.
-
You can use force if you have a reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury. The kid had a hatchet, its a deadly weapon. Armed shoplifting is a forcible felony, it could also be considered aggravated robbery. That was the wrong item to shoplift.
-
There’s no such crime as armed shoplifting in Florida. Ditto for aggravated robbery. Robbery in Florida can be enhanced as to penalties if the offender uses or possesses a weapon. But this isn’t that. This is theft of a weapon. That’s not robbery.

Youre right, in Florida its armed robbery. Its a first degree felony. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0800-0899/0812/Sections/0812.13.html …

Stealing a hatchet is now punishable by death. Some world we live in.

The problem is its a weapon. If you arm yourself while committing a crime you put yourself in a bad situation, a dangerous situation. I doubt he thought about the implications of stealing that particular item. He should have just let him go, in time he will wish he had.
