In Nashville, Tennessee, a 68 year old weight loss doctor said he was in the process of buying his girlfriend a swimsuit at a register in Macy’s when two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed.
He ran after two men who he said stole his wallet, firing his gun at them multiple times.
This was just outside the Green Hills Mall shopping center at around 9 p.m. Police responded to multiple 911 calls, according to Metro Police spokesperson Don Aaron. |

"two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed."
You call them shoplifters, despite the fact that they were not shoplifting store merchandise, I call them muggers.
Shooting at the fleeing perps was probably a crime, but if so, it was malum prohibitum, not malum in se, and I'd nullify the prosecution if I was on the jury.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
