Driving a Jaguar, and robbing a Dollar General is crazy

He probably needed to rob the store to make a car payment.

This shouldn't even require a grand jury for self defense. Those employees should be left alone.

There still has to be an investigation. Just as if police had shot him. You want this.

"This shouldn't even require a grand jury for self defense." I believe the grand jury business is mandatory, and it's probably a good thing. If a DA declined to indict, the dirtbag's family might whine that the DA was prejudiced against their precious little dead robber. Running every self defense case through a grand jury keeps that from happening. And remember, it's a Texas grand jury.

I'm waiting for the family members and community to be screaming that he shouldn't have been shot. I say that because so many times when this happens, the fam and some of the black community come out in DEFENSE of the criminal, especially if the person who shot is white. Idk if they were white, just saying it happens when that's the case. I remember the sister, of a dirtbag thief killed for robbing a dollar general, saying in an onsite interview "so what he robbed y'all? Y'all didn't need to shoot him!". She was serious too.

I was in a dollar tree in Vegas one day and a guy walked in dressed very professionally. I went about shopping and went to check out a short time later. The cashier was rattled and I could read it on her. She told me the guy had just walked out with things and sped off in a pricey vehicle. We agreed this was the last person we would have expected this from. This robbery today was a crazy one too!
