Looks like this teenager put himself in a position to win a stupid prize:

Police said a clerk shot and killed a man trying to steal money. It happened at a gas station on Dallas Highway about 2 miles off Interstate 20 in Carroll County...The man died from his injuries. Police are not releasing his name but said he was 19 years old.

not sure what you mean by that.

Had the 19 year old not been robbing the store, he would not have given the clerk a reason to shoot him. Seems pretty simple, at least to me.

Yep. 

 

 

Good riddance.

Things are most likely going to change criminally and civilly, and not for the better for the clerk.

 

Right off the bat the clerk gave up way to much information and detail to be used against him in court before consulting a criminal defense attorney. He did a public service and hope that's the end of it.

So many times these thugs will kill the clerk to eliminate the witness and that would be my defense to a good shoot. The problem is that juries are making some crazy judgments these days as I expect to see in the Zimmerman trial.

It's Texas. He should get fair treatment.

It's in Georgia. Dallas Highway is near Atlanta

Based on what we know it seems like a completley appropriate use of SD but I can see lot's of potential pitfalls for the clerk.

 

Hopefully, the investigating officers and the DA will see it the clerk's way.
