Waukegan clerk fatally shoots robber, may face charges

[guest300]

So you think a death sentence is appropriate for a previous record of burglary and vandalism?

"...death sentence..." More than likely it would have happened later. The kid took his own road of life, that life turned out to be short.
.
I know this sounds negative and sarcastic but there's ONE less burden on society. The kid played street games, he got street justice. He learned nothing as to why he was in jail, our society does not want these people in it.

I work hard for my money and personal items, I would like to keep them, as did the clerk.

I DO NOT feel for the kid. :|

And the clerk will most likely serve time for what he did, along with having to defend a wrongful death suit brought against him by the family of the robber. I'm sure the store owner will also be dragged into the lawsuit and sued, which will jeapordize the future of the store. Needless to say, a previously law-abiding man(the clerk) and his families lives will now be in chaos for taking justice into his own hands. The alternative; the clerk could have called 911, provided a description of the offender and direction he traveled and allowed the police to do their job and apprehend the guy. He was a repeat offender known to the police, he most likely would have been caught.
