Store Owner Shoots and Kills Shoplifter Walking Out The Door

[rOmiLaYu]

I'm sure I saw the hatchet in the Mexican's right hand and it fell out of his hand visibly after he was shot and on his way down to the ground.

But other news reports about the shooting say that he just put the hatchet in his pants and concealed under his shirt, and then attempted to leave the store with it.
Those news reports do not say that he grabbed it or otherwise had it in his hand at any point. But those news reporters could be trying to spin the evidence (lying by material omission) to advance a narrative that white people are racist and prone to kill Hispanics.

1 video camera, that was installed by the store owner himself, is putting that store owner behind bars. Moral of the story ?

I can't do the fancy still shot circle thing but you can see it in his right hand even through the door at the 23-24 second mark and plain as day laying on the ground at :35.

That tape might be in the dumpster out back...

Don't get hung up on whether the guy had the hatchet in hand or not. Even if he did, he clearly did not show any intent to use it. These charges are no surprise to me at all.

Yeah, I saw that thing in his hand when I first posted this thread but it just does not look like a hatchet to me.
