He went OTT, no need to shoot so many times & especially the final head shot.

I expect he'll be charged & rightly so.

Nobody except the robber knows that the gun is fake until after the event. He’s still a threat until he’s left the building.

If it was a policeman, there’d surely be an excessive force charge. The difference between professionals* being prepared, and civilians having a go.

Don’t pull a weapon out unless you’re prepared to use it, and are ‘comfortable’ with the potential consequences. There’s fuck all point in doing all the important thinking afterwards.

If there ever was a demonstration needed as to why gun control is needed, this is a good candidate.
Too easy to discharge too many rounds by a person clearly unprepared to deal with a lethal situation that was exacerbated by the have a go attitude.


*Not going into the low professional standard demonstrated too frequently.
