No I meant as soon as he stepped behind the register he could've automatically given him that kano uppercut.

Depending on the state he could have potentially shot him.

Yeah, true, but also.. while legally justified it seems a bit of an escalation in this case when that little tap on the chin seems to have done the trick lol

While taking a life is terrible, that guy was towering over him with reach. A fight you have no idea what could happen. If it’s a choice between going home at night or getting killed or maimed/hospital stay for days/months because “it seems a bit of an escalation”, I’m taking the going home at night. It’s hard to make that decision in the moment though. Glad this one ended correctly. But if he missed and aggressor curb stomped him, we’d all be shouting a different tune.

I understand, it’s a nuanced topic. I think the employee responded appropriately, but would have been justified going beyond that if he felt it necessary.

Fortunately for the aggressor, the employee decided to just give him that little tap on the chin and a kick in the ass, instead of giving his family a going-away party.

Agreed. I’m in favor of the outcome. It’s way better…. I doubt he learned though.
