Wendy's Manager shoots robber dead in Savannah

Makes me want to go buy one of those new burgers they have. The W. Should stand for WIN!
I don't want to be the one that hits the hornets nest on this one but why did he actively seek a confrontation? It sound's like they held up the resturant and were in the process of fleeing when then the manager went and got and then sought out the robbers? Wouldn't he have been better to call the police first? Or arm himself and then call the police? Why go outside in the first place? Maybe it's just me but it seems like he willingly put himself in a life or death situation. Again, I'm not trying to stir up a heated debate but it just seems like situation had a potential end half way into the story. I know the man pointed a gun at him when he went outside and he was then thrust into a situation of like or death but I just can't understand why he went outside.
This ^ and the one above it...there is no reason to pursue a robber into the parking lot...the guy's a night shift manager at a Wendy's- it's not his money, he doesn't own the store, he has ZERO skin in the game. Chasing someone into the street and then putting one through their head appears extremely aggressive and retaliatory...not defensive...call the cops. That's why they do what they do and why you, sir, work at Wendy's. Hope he has a good lawyer...
maybe the manager realized the guy was armed with a clerk revolver or some garbage liked that and thought to himself "gee, i got a glock, i like those odds"
although the dude got ten bucks, it would save alot of hassle to let him go
Following a criminal in order to catch them or keep them from getting away after being robbed is legal as far as I know. If they point a gun at you and get shot in the face, Oh Well.
Probably not the smartest thing to do but it sure seems legal to me. Is anyone aware of a law that says you have to let a bad guy get away after ripping you off and putting your life in danger?
I don't think a jury will convict the manager but he's probably gonna have some pretty hefty legal bills if the DA doesn't do the right thing..

^These. Though I will give him props for ridding the street of trash.
Is it really worth being killed over? He runs off with money that isn't yours in the first place, and you still have your life. I'd be thankful instead of trying to initiate a gunfight
No one but me thinnks the manager might have robbed the robber? Put 10 bucks and a pistol in his dead hand for police to find? Just sayin'...
I agree...
Weather it's my money or not, my understanding is that you must feel your life is threatened at the time you pull the trigger. Chasing a guy to get money back doesn't qualify in my mind. Would I want to, yes. Could I legally then shoot him, I'd don't think so. Like i said, I could be wrong.
I'd really like to hear from some LEO or professional security / personal defense trainers what their opinion is. Lets just go with.. He took the money, he left the building and was headed away from the building, the manager followed him to the rear of the parking lot where the BG showed a weapon and the manager fired. Not trying to Hi-Jack the thread but this is a great example of a situation that I have been wondering about. Where is the line between SD and vigilante?
